Seeing countless smiling faces turned into corpses lying on the ground in a blink of an eye, and seeing captured German and British troops living in harmony, even as a group, and they communicated with each other, it is clear that no matter who it is, they feel that this war Meaningless. "I sympathize with them, and I sympathize with myself" "I feel that we should not be enemies, but partners fighting side by side"

I am reminded of Chairman Mao's words: "The Chinese people and the Japanese people are of the same mind, and our common enemy is the Chinese reactionaries and Japanese imperialism." Soldiers are not wrong, it is only the government that is wrong, it's just that era, soldiers are just tools under power That's it.

    After half an hour, the screen gradually zoomed in from black and white to color, and it was shocked, as if dragging you into the battlefield alive, and the 3D version aggravated this sense of enthusiasm. The documentary’s real sense of the war scenes cannot be described by any film: the stinking narrow but life-like trenches, the short breaks and the joy of suffering, the tiles shattered by the nearby houses when the cannon is fired, the yellow jokes and the big pictures before the attack. After thinking about it for a while, I am not afraid of death but I am afraid of breaking my hands or feet. I am not afraid as long as I cross the trenches..."The frontline is the most desolate and terrifying place in the world" After the artillery fire ended, the British and German soldiers admired and respected each other, chatting and laughing. From the beginning of the romantic fantasy of war, to the end "how many people can see the sun tomorrow", everyone does not know why the war came. "If you can live this war, you can live everything"

    Quite an amazing work result! Not only refers to the code restoration technology, but to spell out so many images and audio recordings one by one into a 90-minute complete and compact story line, which is even more amazing!
