But I actually cried when I watched Qilu. The reason was not the dyed images advertised by the producer, nor the so-called newly discovered historical fragments as a selling point. What moved me was only the soundtrack of the film, especially the soundtrack. The ending song makes people find the most authentic feeling of World War II in the grand human history from the music.
It is not difficult to express people's joys, sorrows, and joys with music. It can indeed penetrate deeper into people's souls than words and images, but it seems difficult to express an extraordinary historical feeling, at least not before. A piece of music reminds me of history (including music that advertises it as a historical scene). But I think the Japanese Kenji Kawai did it with music to express World War II.
Apocalypse itself is nothing unusual, the only difference is the soundtrack, which is great!
