When World War I broke out, a group of young German students gave up their studies to join the army under the auspices of "patriotic devotion". They are pure and innocent youth, ruthlessly destroyed by war!
In fact, when they were not on the battlefield, they were just a group of passionate young people who did not understand what war meant at all, nor could they understand the fear and helplessness in the face of death.
When Paul went to kill a Frenchman in self-defense, he was immediately terrified. He stabbed the enemy with a knife, but he had to take care of him, hoping that he would survive. When the enemy died, he still asked for forgiveness. Yes, "Take off the military uniform, put down the gun, we can be brothers, we can drink beer together!" But war is the rule of life and death. There is no choice!
Four years later, when Paul returned to the classroom before the war, the original teacher asked the fighting "hero" to continue to give confidence to the next generation of students! He hopes to learn but can only say bluntly that war is just life or death, killing each other. Is it really so glorious to "die for the country"?
The final ending is something that people will never forget for a long time. When the young man's hand was about to reach out to the beautiful butterfly, to approach the beauty of nature, the enemy's sniper pulled the trigger, and the hand of hope fell weakly and slowly. . Another innocent life ended.
On the background of the cemetery full of cross tombstones, there are faces of young, innocent, enthusiastic and youthful dreams. . .
Evil war!
Can we not be fortunate to live in this peaceful time and enjoy the peaceful sky of this side?
