Bach in the film

The name of this piece is: Piano Concerto No.5 2.Largo. It appears several times in the film, the first being the narrative of false memories. This is one of my favorite songs, I listened to the version played by GLENN GOULD. Its appearance in the context of war has a chill that sends a chill down the spine. The reflection of life and death, beauty and evil is so shocking. And we watched it as the reporter described the experience—we were just spectators to the unimaginable evils in human history, we couldn't do anything, even just face it.
