When a war is happening around us, both sides of the war hold different positions and different political views, and infiltrate and spread among our relatives, friends, and neighbors. At this point, you must consider choosing one of the sides and choose to draw the line! Because I don't know when, some people began to be killed inexplicably! Maybe it was just inadvertently expressing different opinions incorrectly, or maybe it was accidentally the object of venting on both sides. Judging from the situation on the spot, everyone is in danger!
At this time, you have to learn how to protect yourself. Maybe you really don't know how to choose a position, can't tell right from wrong, but with your best friend's father being brutally killed, or your aunt's brother. Believe that hatred will put you on the other side of the confrontation! You will support your good friends and brothers without hesitation, or avenge your loved ones! As the war gets worse and the scope expands, you are used to killing the opponent or being killed by the opponent! Often you are cruel, the enemy is more cruel than you! - These are the rules of the game! You can't go back, those close to you will be hanged by the enemy, and even those who have spoken to you will not be spared! Of course, it is not difficult for you to understand how your comrades in arms brutally kill unarmed honest people who just gave the enemy a bowl of water to drink.
The vicious circle of war goes on like this, you will see the people around you fall one after another, and death is the real relief for you! In this process, some people will have their souls twisted in the endless fighting, become addicted to murder, and become manic because of fear, as if they are attached to the body by the devil... This is Ang Lee's "Ride with the Devil"- — (Text: Returning to the Field)
