German anti-war film. Both the victims and the perpetrators of the war will suffer from the pain caused by the war. In the late World War II, the Germans who participated in the war were basically young people. They were tortured and killed after being captured. These prisoners of war who were still children were used to dig up 2 million residual mines with their flesh and blood and were blown up. It looks really shocking!
This film is about the relationship between Germany and Denmark after World War II. At that time, Denmark had a deep hatred for Germany and sent those German prisoners to Denmark to clear mines. Many of these prisoners of war who were children were treated inhumanly in Denmark. But this movie allows us to see the brilliance of humanity and the nation! Because the two countries are in harmony, face up to the mistakes that our nation once made! In the film, the juvenile prisoners die brutally in demining one after another, which will cause people to think about who is at fault in the war, who is the abuser, and who is the victim
. The Germanic nation went to repay, but it was Germany who dared to face up to that disgraceful history, including several anti-war film and television dramas made by Germany in recent years, and the response was very good! Perhaps it was precisely because Germany had also tasted blood, tears and humiliation in the war, plus the deliberate revenge of the Allied forces headed by the United States. Only after being slapped hard did you know how painful it was to beat people, so Germany reflected on history. So thorough! Let the world admire the attitude and perseverance of the Germans!

    CCTV6 National Edition, adapted from real life. A unique anti-war masterpiece with a unique perspective. After reading it, he was speechless. The "Let's Release" at the end is a stroke of God. Human nature should first be the fear of life. "After the war, more than 2,000 German prisoners of war cleared more than 1.5 million mines on the west coast of Denmark. Half of them died from mines, and most of these prisoners were teenagers." This is the shocking line at the end. An unconventional interpretation. What is commendable is that the film did not stop at the anti-fascist routine with the theme first, but went deeper and farther into the inner world of every German prisoner of war, every demining boy is Three-dimensional and lively independent individuals, like all teenagers, they have love, hatred, helplessness, and various dreams... They do not rigidly stay in the moral judgment of black and white, but from the encounters of a group of young people. (Deeply in desperate situation and forced to atonement) to explore the nature and cruelty of war. In a sense, war does not matter whether it wins or loses. There are only the pale lives that are crushed, trampled, and fooled, just like those young souls who are permanently fixed on the beach and die with the wind.

    Demining tells about the relationship between Germany and Denmark after World War II. At that time, Denmark had a deep hatred of Germany. German captives went to Denmark to clear mines. This was their responsibility. They were also treated inhumanely in Denmark. This is a Danish-German co-production. Both countries dare to face the mistakes they have made. And the death of a child-like prisoner in mine clearance will cause you to think about whose fault was the war. This is a reflection on the war, and the most important point is this.
