I saw this movie two weeks ago and didn't want to write anything. However, yesterday Da Mao fought Er Mao and started a war, which led to my experience of watching this movie.
I remember Liu Cixin's science fiction novel "Three-Body Problem" saying something like this: the universe is accidental, the earth is accidental, and human beings are accidental. Therefore, you and I, who live on the earth like worms, came to this world by accident. Existence is no longer easy, and life itself is already beautiful. Who doesn't want to live yet? Insects also want to spend their entire lives, wantonly depriving others of the right to exist in other lives, and forcefully terminate the process of existence of other people's lives.
The story takes place during and after the First World War. In a fierce battle between the two sides, the young French soldier Franz met a German soldier of the same age in a trench. In the case of whoever shot first would survive, Franz killed Hans. Franz regretted his actions when he found a letter to his fiancée in Hans's pocket. Self-blame led him to go to Germany after the war to begin his own journey of repentance and redemption.
After accepting Franz's accusations from friends and neighbors, Hans's father said: "We rejoice when we eliminate the enemy; we grieve and hate the enemy when the enemy kills our son." But those dead enemy soldiers also had parents, they were also sons of man.
Life is fragile, how many lives can an earthquake and a tsunami take. In the face of nature, human beings are as weak as insects and ants, why bother to fight with each other.
