I would like to dedicate this film to all comrades who sacrificed on the hidden front

Originally, I just wanted to post a title as a point of view, because I couldn’t write too much.

But don't get me wrong, this is not an anti-Japanese drama, but it is also a story about occupiers and rebels.

The author seems to want to describe the silent resistance, but he may also think that this kind of narration is too traditional, so in the movie you will follow the perspective of a boy who has experienced the disaster first, and understand the mysterious from his perspective. The resisters.

For the lively audience, this movie seems too dull. I have even been dancing myself, but this movie has a climax, and it is because of this climax that I gave him 4 stars. I should say this. The first half of the movie has been laying the groundwork, in a repressive and seemingly free environment, describing the daily routines of the "pseudo army chief" managing ordinary people and arresting resistance elements after the occupation. I didn't know what was special about the protagonist boy at first (but don't worry, all the hot spots are at the end.)

(Do not watch the spoilers below)

A special resistance organization, the aliens haven't dug them out for nine years. The "Deputy Chief of the Puppet Army" was equally cunning, and he frustrated the resisters' attacks again and again.

Only the person with the highest authority has the opportunity to meet the aliens, and the deputy director does not have that authority.

But things turned around. The aliens unexpectedly stated that they would show up at the opening ceremony of a sports meeting. As expected, the resistance organization acted again. The destructive force was great. Many aliens were killed. This also gave the deputy director a chance. He Following the vines, he not only wiped out the resisters this time, but also accidentally dug up the evidence that the Chief Secretary leaked secrets.

Facing the failure of the resistance organization, the boy was lonely and disappointed, but the deputy director told him, what if the purpose of the plan was to make him fail?

When the truth is revealed, it is cruel, and this is also the mission that the ace must shoulder.

On the one hand, the trump card shouldered everyone's expectations and went to the final battlefield, on the other hand, the boy learned the whole story through the chip.

I think the climax of the whole movie is here. Everyone here will have no regrets. All the depression is released at this moment, like an atomic bomb.

Although the boy finally destroyed the chip according to the working procedure, I don't think this means giving up. Just as the line said, light a match and light a war. As long as you resist, you will have a chance.

I would like to dedicate this film to all comrades who sacrificed their lives on the hidden front for the sake of light, and I pay my highest respect to them.
