After the mines under the sand are dug, the hatred in my heart cannot be eliminated

The war starts with profit and ends with winning or losing. Whether it is the winner or loser, the righteous and the evil, the most terrifying ending is not the ruins left behind, nor the tragic state of ruined homes and dead bodies, but the planting of the dead. A fruit of hatred. The 2 million landmines on the coast of Denmark will always be dug one day, but the hatred of the Danes against Germany will never be eliminated.

Profits and losses are basically separated at the moment the war ends, but the hatred left behind, as well as the sins and tragedies caused by this hatred, spread like protracted side effects, or the retribution of the present world is on the body and mind of the exhausted young soul after the war. Or be used by the next military and political needs. The film Minefield puts the perspective on the encounter of a group of young German prisoners of war left in Denmark at the end of World War II, showing what the cost of war is from a very unique perspective.

Kindness from human nature and hatred from war have been in fierce confrontation in the heart of the sergeant major. The beginning of the story and the death of the dog in the middle made the hidden hatred for Germany temporarily defeat the kindness of human nature. He was violent and abusive, to vent his hatred of Germany, but human nature still makes him make good decisions most of the time.

Although we deliberately ignored a lot of deep excavations and had obvious sensational plots, the childish faces and pure hearts of the German teenagers also made us temporarily ignore their hideous faces in the concentration camps, and they killed half of them and released them. Half of this ending that takes care of the audience's feelings, although it has injected hope, seems to have lost a shocking ending. All in all, it is still a very good anti-war work. Three and a half!
