The movie is really bloody. A general loses a battle, but he doesn't criticize himself, but because he lost the battle, and then executes three of his soldiers for his own face, it's ridiculous.
Human nature is so dark sometimes! In the war years there was the darkness of the war years, and now without these things, there will be other darkness.
The film exposes profoundly and satirizes human nature. Even if the country is in danger, it is ridiculous that people in one camp do things only for their own selfishness, regardless of whether they live or die.
However, in the face of such viciousness of human nature, Kubrick's ability to photograph him is indeed a very good criticism. This let the world know that there is a general in France, whose face is so ugly and vicious.
When French soldiers were fighting, they could go out with a bomb and kill their soldiers because they were timid and wanted to escape back. It can really make people laugh.
I hope China can also make such a great movie, let us feel it. Westerners are indeed easy to break with tradition. They don't care about ideological constraints, so they can grow up fast, but because of self-interest, they fight fiercely.
It seems to be the first time to give a five-star praise. It is indeed a very short and powerful movie. Awesome, really ironic.
