It can be considered that I have watched a lot of war movies, and I like this kind of unpopular movies more and more. Although three hours long, the story is also very bland, but it has a full sense of substitution.
In the film, there is no militaristic celebration of war, nor the depiction of the great battle from the perspective of God. Some are more about the panic on the faces of the soldiers as they advanced, and the details of the war such as gags during the truce.
Whether it's an encounter in the jungle or a day-by-day waiting in the trenches, one after another has come forward, shedding blood and sweat for various things. In retrospect, it seems that they were not for medals and glory, but in a tormented environment, the only way in front of them was to be killed or to destroy the enemy.
War is never a huge abstract concept, but a real pain, a pain inflicted on everyone. Here, the originally silent mountains and quiet snowfields no longer highlight the beautiful side, but instead release their own coldness. In the heart-wrenching battles, the soldiers died silently, without magnificent music or heart-wrenching pain, just dying.
When you pull the trigger, the soul dies.
