The path of hypocrisy and ugliness wrapped in glory

It was a hopeless attack from the beginning, but under the temptation, the hypocritical general decided to temporarily forget his rationality and forcibly beat the soldiers with blood, which would make the impossible possible. When the shameless fig leaf was removed by the head of the regiment, he showed his original hideousness and threatened the overlord with dismissal. When he roared at the coward and ordered the muzzle to be aimed at his compatriots, he was only angry at the star who was coveted three times at his fingertips. However, he was dazzled by the temptation, for the result that he had expected earlier. , the rational judgment of a disabled division against the German fortress has become so unacceptable at this moment. In this way, Dax led his brothers on the road of glory, towards the gate of death.

The trio's trial indisputably became the film's climax of
conviction: The Frightening Fright.
Confirmation method of criminals: one knows too much, another is not popular, and one loses the lottery.
Trial process: no witnesses, no records, not even an indictment.
Did you escape? ——I am the only one left to die, am I going to go up and die!
Did you escape? ——I rushed the furthest, and the others fled long before I turned back!
Did you escape? ——I have been heroic in all the previous battles, but I don't want to die in vain!
I just ask have you escaped? --kindness!
Sentenced to death!

A trial process that has had a trial result since before the formation of the court, when the inversion of black and white has penetrated into all corners of the power group, Dax is an idealist. Those so-called honors are just a group of shameless people paving the way. At the time, it was just a paving stone for the ugliness and hypocrisy of wrapping paper. At the end of the film, a group of poor people make fun of another poor person, but in the end, they are both fallen to the end of the world, and everyone drinks a sad song.

    General Mireau: Say 5 five percent killed by our own barrage. Ten percent more getting through No Man's Land and 20 percent more getting through the wire. Say another 25 percent in actually taking the Anthill and we're still left with a force more than adequate to hold it...
