"Mediterranean" - Mirage of "Eden"

"Established the Garden of Eden
The LORD God set up a garden in Eden in the east, and placed there the man whom he had made. The LORD God made every bush grow out of the ground, pleasing to the eye, and its fruit good for food. The garden Among them were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. There was a river flowing out of Eden to nourish the garden,..." (from "Old Testament. Genesis")
I had no intention of seeing an Italian movie in the CHC home theater in the morning "Mediterranean" is beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and nurturing.
Searching for relevant information on the Internet, I found out that this is a work from 1991 and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1992.
The "main theme" of that era was "hatred", "blood" and "killing", and the film and television works with that era as the historical background have never made people feel happy because of this. Even the joyful "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", the joyful and hopeful "A Beautiful Life" did not escape the cruel haze of war. Why run away? This is the reality, brave people should bravely raise their heads and face it, and when needed, they should rise up and fight.
However, is this really the only correct option? I don't know, I'm increasingly suspicious of a just killing. But people who are always looking ahead and back, swaying, insatiable desires, hypocritical and cunning, even if they are unwilling to pick up a gun to kill, perhaps even more reluctant to drop the gun and be killed, or be called a deserter.
"Mediterranean", gave 8 Italian soldiers a flawless excuse to throw away their weapons and become "deserters", meaningless mission, stolen weapons, destruction of communication equipment, isolated island, kind, simple and lovely island The people, the blue sea, the bright sun..., all of which made them "have to" escape the catastrophe of the war.
This is a movie dedicated to those who escape, a movie dedicated to everyone, because everyone has a reason to escape and the urge to escape.
Well, coward who has lost his fighting spirit, you should raise your head, face the bitter storm, and sing like Gorky's Haiyan: "Let the storm come more violently!"
However, no matter how I listen to it, I feel that this is a bit of a bit of a bit of a stubborn, swollen face, and maybe this is also the "heroism" that "has to".
The 8 Italian soldiers, how much did they miss, how much they did not slip, they enjoyed the gift of God - "long vacation", leaving the mission of the soldiers' assault in Java, and enjoying the joy and indulgence of football wholeheartedly Indulging in their desire to dance the Greek dance to be both lame and naive, they found love, dignity, innocence here, as if they found the beautiful life of the ancestors of mankind in the Garden of Eden.
"The LORD God put the man in the Garden of Eden to repair and keep it. The LORD God commanded him, saying, 'You shall not eat the fruit of every tree in the garden, for in the day you eat it you will surely die!'" (The Old Testament. Genesis ")
The wisdom fruit of distinguishing between good and evil only gives human beings the desire and awareness to distinguish between good and evil, but does not teach human beings what is good and evil. As a result, disputes suddenly erupted, and the world has no peace since then. Struggling with fear, the carefree, innocent, and eternal Eden of mankind has always become the paradise behind. Is there a way back?
Choosing to escape is a life attitude that looks very negative.
"Mediterranean", after laughter, is still an eternal lament.
