Kindness in war

The landmines left over from the World War II era were removed one by one by manpower. Young and innocent German children became victims. I once thought that why the world has been incessant with gunpowder may be human nature. Since ancient times, people have been fighting for more territory and more food.
This film is very detailed in the expression of emotions and the description of the characters, the ruthlessness of the war people, the friendship of small groups, and the family love for those who miss them. The ending is undoubtedly mixed with joy and sorrow, and of course it is a little abrupt.
I think the script does not reflect the individual in a group of people very prominently. The whole team is intertwined and switched. As a movie, I still hope to have the shaping of the main characters, but it does not have to be a hero film.

    Winner takes all, loser for Kou. Denmark, who won World War II, was not much better at POWs than the Germans. The whole time I watched it, I was frightened. I didn't know when it exploded. Those prisoners of war who were smuggled out by the sergeant after finishing the bomb disposal, and they returned to Germany. They may not face the bright, poor boy, the victim of the cruel war.
