It's actually a pair of brothers.

This movie, I seriously watched it twice in two days, instead of watching it at a time. Because its shock is greater than many previous anti-war movies. What do you mean when a person is like a grass shovel? When a person turns into battle as an animal and becomes a cannon fodder with unknown meaning, a person is like a grass shovel, living like a dead dog. If this movie is only about the cruelty of war, then it is just another "Iwo Jima Letter". However, in this movie, which is said to be very similar to "Flag of Tai Chi", there are still some inconsistencies. the same thing. That thing is the delicate emotional changes between brothers.
When I watched this movie for the second time, I felt that there was actually an inexplicable brotherly feeling between Junzhi and Chenxiong. The honest and kind-hearted Jun Shi is more like an elder brother, while the young and competitive Chen Xiong is like a younger brother. In many tests, the younger brother has always been half the size of the older brother, whether it is running, being a man, or fighting. Therefore, in Chenxiong's heart, he has been subconsciously comparing himself with Junzhi. When he was slightly inferior in the running field, his dissatisfaction was like a willful younger brother. However, they are not brothers after all, so to show his victory in other places, only his so-called noble identity "colonial" Therefore, when Chenxiong stepped out of the chariot on the battlefield for the first time and saw Junzhi's office The pride that comes out is actually the desire in the heart to conquer the other side.
This kind of performance was quickly exposed. Seeing the disdainful expression of Junzhi who ran at night, he deliberately confiscated Junzhi's running shoes and burned them. When Junzhi did not want to be a suicide team, he became angry and rushed back to ventilate with a gun pointed at it. Joon-sik who reported the letter. . . . . . All his performances did not hide his desire to win in front of his opponents. In fact, subconsciously, this is just his revolt against his opponent, his brother, and the "enemy" who harmed his grandfather. Some even seem childish and ridiculous.
And when he was madly killing enemies and shooting deserters on the battlefield, the militarism and Bushido spirit in him was beyond the scope of being a human being. Seeing such an out-of-control younger brother, Jun Shik, the older brother, certainly couldn't stand idly by. Although he punched Chenxiong and said, "If you want to die, you should die alone, and we have to order a retreat as soon as possible." But at this moment, his heart still wanted to redeem this crazy friend. As for Chenxiong, who was red-eyed, even in the face of his determination to die, he still has to pull Junzhi. Apart from Junzhi's disobeying his orders and challenging his authority, there should be some other emotions together. , then die with my lifelong opponent, how tragic. . To be honest, when I saw this for the first time, I really gritted my teeth at Chenxiong, thinking that this is something that can’t be done for the little Japan of human beings. However, after thinking about it later, he was not a sad member of the high-level Japanese militarism power who brainwashed thousands of Japanese youth.
Then, to the key Soviet prisoner of war camp. At first, Chenxiong still held the same determination as a martyr to defend the dignity of the Empire of Japan. I have to say that although such a defender is a lot, but when looking at it, he will still be admired for his tough guy style. Here, pay attention, Junzhi's eyes are very complicated, in fact, his heart is still a little worried about Chenxiong. Even if he dragged himself to death with so many North Korean brothers. Junzhi's kindness seems to be more powerful than Chenxiong's arrogance. At this time, another key figure appeared, Zotye. I have to say that Zotye is a more crucial character in this play than Fan Bingbing. It was he who pushed the brothers' relationship to another peak.
When Chenxiong was put down and froze until he passed out, the lieutenant carried him in, and Zhongtai's arrogant face, because of the pleasure of little Japan being ravaged, was really unforgettable. Here, everyone can see that although Jun Shi can't care about Chen Xiong in front of the Joseon brothers, his worries are already written on his face.
But soon, after Chenxiong was resurrected in situ, the terrifying thought of the supremacy of the king in his head was awakened again. So a duel is inevitable. This is a duel between you and me, and it is also a fair duel in the true sense. Two people who have been opponents for more than ten years, this time it is a fight. And the fierce Bushido spirit, so Chenxiong will not leave the slightest sympathy, and hope that a knife will be fatal. But again, Joon-sik beats him with kindness. Even when he was subdued and shouted "Kill me, North Korean dog", Jun-sik didn't really kill him. This kind of aura that beat Chenxiong both practically and psychologically had actually changed his heart. In fact, in addition to being moved, that eye drop is also indifferent and unwilling. At this point, Jun Shik established his position as the other half of the battalion boss.
Next is how Zotye betrayed his brother, and how Junzhi taught him a lesson. At this time, Chenxiong was moved by Junzhi's loyalty and kindness. In fact, his inner kindness factor was also quietly awakened. The moment I was awakened was when I saw that my Japanese companion was killed by Zotye, and I couldn't bear it anymore. It's interesting to say, Chenxiong had the courage to kill without blinking in the first half, but at this time, he was already a bit like a person who was resting. After being defeated, he lost his spirit. At this point, Odakiri made the transformation of the characters vividly and vividly. Then, seeing Zotye beating the Japanese Chenxiong, the North Korean Junzhi couldn't just sit back and ignore it. Because he knows the pain of losing his compatriots, he fully understands Chenxiong's anger. Here, the two brothers finally joined forces again after many years.
The trend after the plot is how brothers help each other. On the battlefield, Jun-sik is deaf in order to save Chenxiong. The climax is the scene where they cross the snowy mountain. Junzhi leads the way, and the injured Chenxiong follows. It's very interesting, at the beginning, they kept a considerable distance, not only because of Chenxiong's injury, but also because of Chenxiong's inner guilt. Guilt to the former self. Therefore, Chenxiong and Junzhi were actually a little embarrassed when they spent the night in the cave. Chenxiong also asked, "That day, why didn't you kill me?" But Junzhi didn't answer. I think the answer is clear to everyone. You are my childhood companion, opponent, how can I kill you, and we want to go home alive together.
Next, Chenxiong's injury flares up, and Junzhi's persistence brings the so-called brotherhood to a climax. Here, when Chenxiong called out Junshik's name in excruciating pain, I don't know what he meant? Is it to ask Joon-sik not to abandon himself? I still want to thank Junzhi, how can this extremely pitiful and fragile Chenxiong be compared to Chenxiong who proudly kidnapped Junzhi to his death at the beginning? However, this is the real brotherhood. Just like there is a saying, a man who truly loves you does not show you his strong side, but just shows you his weak side. Chenxiong has changed from a wolf to a man, so he is no longer the one who sees death for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, he is just an ordinary person who wants to live, a person who depends on his brother. His call, or just wanted to say, "Please stay, don't let me die alone, even if it's just to accompany me until I finish the journey of my life." However, Jun-sik prefers that he live, not die. So they were separated again.
Then the encounter three years later can be said to have touched the tears of many people. I have to mention that the moment when Odagiri and Jang Dong Gun met in the sun was really beautiful. This time, I will protect you. Chenxiong, his younger brother, must have thought so in his heart. So, the adventure also wants to find a way to escape. However, in the end, it was his brother's humble identity that saved his life. Chenxiong, who was completely stunned at that moment, was at a loss like his younger brother, he only knew shock and sadness, but Junzhi, the elder brother, knew that his life was not long, but he still calmly changed the brand name to his younger brother. Tell him that if he is Japanese he might be killed and he must go back alive. That was the moment that made me cry the most. The love of life and death that transcends brotherhood. . . . Finally broke out perfectly. Here, there are no Japanese, no Koreans, no people of any country, just two men who are truly brothers.

    Fan Ye was originally just a cameo, but he took the plane gloriously. This film is really legendary. The two protagonists seem to be two super heroes, all the way from North Korea to Normandy. The vitality is ridiculously strong, but it reduces the credibility of the film. I thought it was talking about Japan and South Korea, but later discovered that it was more about the cruelty of war and the alienation of people. At the same time, a demon can also become a Buddha under the inspiration of a saint.
