Smile on the barren ruins, or be dejected under the feeding of brocade clothes and jade food?

No matter how flawed the plot setting of this film is, just as the one-step concept car should not be judged by its practicality, we should think more about what is hidden behind the storyline.

For example: "Why are you fighting?"
Qiu Ya asked Qingjing, and Qingjing fell silent.
When Qingjing killed the last special soldier who sneaked in, the special soldier's last words were: "I also have... family..."
Whether it was the Wild Seven, the 42 students of Luzhizhai Middle School, or the special forces, They are all fighting for "justice", all fighting for their lives, all fighting to protect their families... Each side has its own position, each side is killing and being killed, and it is difficult for each side to use simple Judge right or wrong.
The initiator is the powerful and unreachable dark force behind the scenes. This black hand promotes the killing and instigates the disputes of interests.
And children manipulated by interest groups, told to "fight to stop the war", how puzzling is this?
Does the war really stop until everyone has been killed?
Qiu Ye said something very postmodernist:
"The world we live in is not a single one, it is the place where 6.3 billion people live
, 6.3 billion lives exist, 6.3 billion kinds of peace, 6.3 billion kinds of justice , 6.3 billion in justice... But unfortunately, there is no peace that does not need war, soaked with blood, tears and sweat. If mankind ignores and forgets those history, that kind of peace is worthless. "
It made me shudder to hear Little Japan write such lines, but I couldn't refute it.

Another example: "What can we do now?"
Qingjing asked Qiuya like this, and Qiuya said, "You have to find the answer yourself."
After that, the two scuffled together.
Exhausted from the fight, Qiuya finally expressed his confusion.
"I really don't know, everyone will soon become an adult. We who are alive can only remember the dead forever. Until we become adults... we can't forget."
Growing up is like shedding cicadas again and again. In confusion and pain, they become adults. Many times, they don't know how to choose if they want to break their heads.
So instead of thinking "what can I do now," it's better to live in the moment and do the best you can.
This box of chocolates in life will eventually be peeled off a piece of candy paper and taste its original taste.
I believe that every child has felt depressed and depressed - we live in the best era, with food and clothing, and material wealth; but at the same time, we live in the worst era, spiritually barren, culturally barren, lack of belief, morality perish.
But there is no choice but to live hard - to go to tomorrow, it is possible to break free from the shackles and put on new shoes.

As a sequel, "Song of Soul" can't help but be compared with "Tokyo Jihad".
If we say that the Tokyo Jihad preached the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, the song of the soul explores a more serious and profound topic - war and peace, dreams and freedom, self and the world.

Last question: Is it correct that there are only two kinds of people in life, winners and losers?

Battle Royale II quotes

  • Shuya Nanahara: How much blood has been shed? How many tars spilled? All of our friends who fought beside us are dead, killed in the last three years. But even as justice can never be vanquished, we terrorists will never vanish, however evil they deem us. Because we know, that a handful of adults, a handful of 'nature' selfishly define the nature of peace as freedom in this world. But our world is so much more complex that. This world has 63 Billion people living their own lives, living 63 billion different ways, 63 billion kinds of peace, 63 billion kinds of concepts of what is "good", 63 billion kinds of war and evil. No one has achieved peace without fighting for it.

    [Picks up torch and points it to screen]

    Shuya Nanahara: Behind every peace, there's a river of blood, sweat and tears. But if we avert our eyes from that history and abandon it, then peace might as well be dog shit.

    Sensei: Dog shit, huh...?

    Shuya Nanahara: [flag waves and we see children playing with the students] Japan, China, North Korea, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, Congo, Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Grenada, Libya, El Slavador, Panama, Bolivia, Kuwait, Sudan, Somalia...

    Nao Asakura: Where's Takuma?

    [looks up and sees Takuma smiling]

    Shuya Nanahara: ...Afghanistan.

    [moves closer to screen]

    Shuya Nanahara: You may be lonely, but it's time to stop being afraid. To all the abandoned children on earth, Let's rise up together and fight together!

    [picks up AK-47]

    Shuya Nanahara: We're throwing away the old rules, taking of to a place far, far away! Tonight, I send this message to all the adults who stole our freedom and pinned us down. Merry Christmas. Wild Seven and Nanahara Shuya.

    [a missile is fired and Wild Seven Tower goes down]

  • Sensei: [first line upon entrance] Merry Christmas!
