Because I see different perspectives and expressions. Some people think that the story may be too loose, but with the horse as a clue, the film perfectly connects the fate of different people in the war and the damage caused by the war. There is no nationalism, no distinction between enemy and foe, no political preaching, and no heroic advocacy. Not even hatred.
But at the same time, it perfectly expresses what is brave, what is precious, what is life.
Why this horse is a magical horse, because it is like a smart child who knows how to bypass those unwilling to do, knows how to be considerate of others, and knows how to protect its companions. Its bravery is not based on those who are easily defeated in war. Blind devotion inspired, on the contrary, is brave because of its fear, of war and death. In the midst of displacement, return to his hometown no matter what. The belief in survival makes it brave.
So when he escaped from the army and crossed the no man's land between the two armies, the music was so high - the horse was always so tame, trying to do what everyone else wanted it to do, this is it The only time it was out of control, violently out of control—it wanted to go back to its side, where its home was.
Then came the most exciting part of the film. The horse was hooked by barbs in the no-man's land between the two armies. The soldiers on both sides were sympathetic to it. At this time, sympathy for the horse defeated the war. , overcoming barriers, even overcoming the fear that it might just be a trap, a British soldier came out of the trenches, not afraid that he might be shot himself, to save the horse from this barb-ridden pain just come out. He then got help from another German soldier. Yes, they were fighting, but as they carefully rescued the horse, fearing that their misjudgment would hurt it, they chatted happily about each other's camps, about girls, and exchanged names, and finally Bless each other. This is people. Gentle, kind, sympathetic to suffering, caring for peers. Not the war machine that has been labelled.
Every life that comes to this world is a blessing. No life should be sacrificed for another. Just because it is not as powerful as another life. The concept of evolution is natural selection and survival of the fittest. This may be a fact now, but I think the reason why people today think so is only because people have not fully evolved. A truly complete theory of evolution should be like this:
When you become strong enough, you know how to respect everyone who is weaker than you. Your strength is not used to bully and plunder, but to protect.
This is evolution.
