Let's put down the weapon and pick up the camera

The cruelty of the war is beyond doubt. Personally, I prefer movies to express such thoughts through the side.

The delivery of the notice of death was expressed through the mouth of a taxi driver. Said that he hated such a job most. However, the soldier's wife resolutely took over the job and became the object of hatred by the families of the dead.

The other is the reporter. After experiencing an agonizing battle, after sending the wounded to the plane, he dropped his weapon, picked up his camera, and re-photographed the heartbreaking moments on the battlefield.

I don't know how much this movie will prompt me to buy a good camera. But after watching this movie, I will definitely buy a good camera to record the wonderful moments of my life.
