A different understanding of war. Children of ordinary families in the First World War could not find a better job as a soldier, and they could go to the battlefield to work for the country and their family. They may go to the battlefield with their young enthusiasm and curiosity about the unknown. One million people, 15, 16, 19, died. You can only sign up at the age of 19 and a half, but both recruiters and applicants lie tacitly. The true description of the tragic situation of the war, the trenches accumulate water in winter, and you have to step on them. The side walls of the trenches dig holes to sleep and take a nap, step on the dead comrades' corpses and rush forward. The attitude of the enemy Germans, the attitude of each other, everyone just acts as instructed, lays down their arms, can understand each other, and the concept of people. War arouses man's bestiality, and the prisoner of war treaty is useless. The numbness and emptiness of the people at the end of the war, there is no cheer, because what follows is the unknown, the fear of a constant life, the restlessness. When they came back, the people in the rear lived peacefully. They couldn't understand what the people who experienced the war experienced, and couldn't empathize with them. They experienced trauma and wanted to recover and talk, hoping to be grateful and understood. The above is written on 20200627. Now, on 20211216, I look back one year later, but I can hardly remember it at all. Looking at the comments I wrote, I can hardly remember it at all. Fortunately, I wrote it at that time. Because of watching Brothers in the Pacific War, and watching this again, I feel that even if the United States filmed it, TV is more cruel than the real one.

They Shall Not Grow Old quotes

  • Soldier: [waving at camera] Hi, mum.

  • Soldier: You don't look, you see. You don't hear, you listen. You taste the top of your mouth. Your nose is filled with fumes and death. But the veneer of civilization has dropped away.
