I first watched it on the Gold Coast of Chengdu TV. At that time, I felt that the war scene was very shocking, much better than many domestic war films. When I grew up, I watched the director's cut carefully. The style of this film is like taking a war movie as an action movie or a shootout movie. It has a lot of slow motion, and the action scenes are fast and slow. It feels very Wu Yusen's style, Wu Yulin should have seen this film, otherwise there will not be so many violent aesthetic elements, and some scenes are indeed pleasing to the eye. The children's voice "Little Star" at the beginning is also good.
The perspective of this film is good. It does not describe the war from a macro perspective, but revolves around the actions of a grassroots combat unit. A war-weary veteran has a conflict with a Prussian aristocrat, but the veteran only needs to give his boss a little face, It will save a lot of trouble, but it makes things so troublesome, but I don't care about the human nature or politics expressed in it, I only care about its war scenes, such as the battle of the T-34, which is very exciting, Can you find a war scene like this one? It took 20 years for to reach this level, and in China almost 30 years later. The scenes of encountering female soldiers behind enemy lines are also very realistic. The style is indeed different from the war films made in China before, and it is worth watching.

    A typical anti-war theme, but it is actually closer to an American Western in its bones. The ending is also set so crazy and unconventional, it is unforgettable.
