"Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?"
"No...but I served in the company of heroes"
In the last interview with a retired veteran, tears couldn't help but burst. It seems that for a long time, I haven't seen such a flesh-and-blood drama that can pluck the deepest strings in my heart. Especially in the modern society where many emotions are absorbed in a fast-food style in those days when they grow up slowly and gradually become cold to many things.
There are no deliberately sensational and large-scale emotional shots in the whole play. Everything is realistic. The war situation is shown from different personal perspectives in different single episodes, from recruit training to D-Day to market garden operations to Bastogne. Alps....
Those who are impressed: the soldier who took the white flower from the chest of the German soldier who was shot and pinned it to his chest died soon; the mood of Medic Eugene was about to collapse at all times; Major Winters ended on the embankment In the last shot of his war career, the trance of the boy in the Paris subway and the German boy who died in the last shot overlapped; Bull’s escape; the cold, arduous battle of Bastogne Cruel and thrilling; the soldier’s romance is probably because I know you like to drink, so I sent you the entire Goring’s wine cellar; the cruel and heart-wrenching pain permeated in the concentration camp...
Throughout the play, I could not immediately notice the strong emotions towards the characters, but when the play was about to end, I discovered that they were not the vigorous popcorn-like warmth, but like a touch of ink, in a realistic battle. A little bit quietly flows into the heart of the audience, the friendship between each other has long taken root in the heart, and has a strong empathy with you, so I reluctant to give up to them, as if they are really alive around, whether it is injured or happy. , Every shot easily touches the lacrimal gland buried in the bottom of my heart...
"This is a long war, and also an arduous war. You fought bravely and proudly for the motherland. You are an extraordinary group, closely connected to each other. This kind of friendship exists only in battle. Like brothers. , Use the foxhole together to support each other when you need it most. You face death together and accept hardship together. Finally, what I want to say is that I am proud to be able to serve with each of you. You have the right Enjoy a happy and peaceful life forever"
Finally, the elderly veterans tell the details and stories in front of the camera. Those familiar names in the Easy company emerge one by one: Winters, Bill, Lipton, Marlarkey, Shifty... At this moment you can only burst into tears. It turns out that they are all very good, you can only thank them for being alive later.
This is the most important salvation for the audience.
