live for what?

"We are soldiers and our duty is to fight and kill."

"I keep thinking, is there anything more important to live than to make ends meet?"

When an Indian woman hurried home after feeding her white child with her own milk to pick up her wailing son, but fed him opium;

When a girl in the Mood for Love is forced to marry a lord who is gray-haired, old and infirm, but is to be buried with him when he dies;

When Indian soldiers were tricked into biting bullets coated with lard and tallow;

When Indian soldiers attacked the innocent villagers who lost their land;

When young girls like flowers and jade can only be sold to brothels to serve white soldiers;

...

Manka finally raised his fist in anger.

The prostitute said, "We only sell our bodies, and the soldiers sell their souls."

William was a humanitarian white British officer, he rescued Shati who was about to be buried, but he could not change the behavior of the white people, and he could not change the religion and customs of India.

Mangka asked: Is there anything more important to live than to make ends meet?

Everyone works so hard, so fearful and so humble, just to live.

However, the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?

When people resist to survive, fight for freedom and dignity, and fight for their faith, what can hold them back?

William and Manka's friendship is dead!

Mangka's heart of resistance was ignited by fire.

...

If the movie can only make us perceive the past, then it is not a good movie.

What a good movie makes us think about is now: Is our soul still alive? Why live?

The world has never been fair. But have you ever fought for fairness?

Although I have always felt that there is no such thing as perfection, and that no film is perfect, I am not shy to give this film full marks.
