Not much to say about the plot, mainly to talk about historical events, and to mix the narrative through the plot and history, so that everyone can understand it, and I hope to correct and supplement
The First World War was from 1914.8 to 1918.11, and the film took place from 1915 to 1919. It was ruled by the Tsar and Germany from 1710 to 1918, so there will be a Russian and a German in the plot, which is elusive well. Latvia has its own country, but the weak and weak have been ruled. In 1915, the male protagonist enlisted in the army. Fighting on behalf of Tsarist Russia, World War I was originally a fight between several local emperors. Russia was fighting against Germany and Austria-Hungary on the eastern front. At this time, internal contradictions in Russia were prominent. In 1917, the February Revolution and the October Revolution broke out. Tsarist Russia Just quit World War I, that is, when the male protagonist's brother died in the plot and took the flyers in the camp, because the tsar withdrew from the war, the male protagonist suddenly returned to Russia. At that time, there were two factions in the army. One was the revolutionary (socialist camp) male lead, and the other was the counter-revolutionary (capitalist camp). The male lead was going to help Russia fight the civil war, but they were Latvians. Wanting freedom wholeheartedly, the male protagonist defected because he wanted to shoot his comrades. This time point was in 1917-1918. Later, when the First World War ended in 1918, Latvia declared independence, but now part of Latvia's territory is occupied by Germany, and the land where the male protagonist is located belongs to Germany. The male protagonist deceived the German army, which led him to join the coalition between Latvia and Estonia. Nation, the Estonian's military epaulettes are different from those of the male protagonist. The last battle was the Battle of Cesis in 1919. Latvia and Estonia fought against Germany together. In the end, the male protagonist survived and was rewarded. This year, the male protagonist was 21 years old and had been fighting on the front line for five years. His face was full of vicissitudes. It is completely different from the immaturity when he first joined the army.
There is a foreshadowing that the male protagonist's father participated in the war before, and then died in the first World War. When the hero finally holds the medal, will he know that World War II broke out in 1939? That year he was probably also the age of his father, and he might take his own children to defend the family and the country.
Four gunshot wounds, one in the neck at the Battle of the Island of the Dead, one in the leg, Russian Civil War, one in the arm, the last shot at the Battle of Cesis
Hope for corrections and additions.
War is cruel, don't be belligerent!
