The fault of death is not the war but oneself

In such an era of food scarcity, the brothers and sisters do nothing every day and still want food. I really want to say that they deserve to starve to death. The people around, whether farmers or police, have been very kind to them, including the aunt, who offered to provide them with bread, cared for their mother, and later provided accommodation and food. It is also reasonable for the aunt to drive them away later. The supply is already low. There are other people in the aunt's family to support. Auntie reminded many times, "How can people who work hard for this country eat the same thing as you who are idle all day?" My brother still didn't go to work, he just accompanies his sister every day, and even steals food when he runs out of food Something that others have worked hard to earn. If this film is trying to show the anti-war theme through the miserable life of civilians, I think it is a failure, because the death of the brothers and sisters is completely their own fault.
