Just the right emotional processing

How to say this movie? World War II theme, not too many war scenes. When expressing the warmth of human nature, there is no large-scale war scene to contrast. In the vast white snowstorm, under extreme living conditions, the two sides who are fighting fiercely in both ideological and practical battles cooperate for the most basic human desire. The desire is to survive.
When human beings were primitive, our ancestors survived by helping and understanding each other in such a terrible environment.
The plot of the movie brings the hostile twins who are participating in modern warfare back into such a survival environment, so that the opposing emotions and confrontation rules gradually become mutual understanding and consideration. Compared with the Hollywood blockbusters that have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in these years, they have destroyed New York, Washington, Los Angeles and even Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai, and thousands of people have died at every turn. Then I will tell you that we need peace. For all kinds of blockbusters, Norwegians With a very small investment, it is a good story that is a little dull at the beginning but has a lot of content in the middle.
Especially in the scene where the German lieutenant returned the lighter, the two sides made eye contact, and the men looked friendly but hesitant to say anything... It can be said that this is the best way to express their feelings in this situation. Not too provocative, but to point a little spark, let it slowly start a prairie in the hearts of the audience.
