Irvine, a prominent three-star general, did not deliberately want to oppose the warden, but the two kinds of people had completely different attitudes toward human nature, which led to the final major conflict. The general finally used his life to return to the prison inmates. Freedom and dignity have also been exchanged for their highest dignity as a general.
(Shortly after the beginning of the movie) When visiting the warden’s military collection, the general replied to the guards with a charming sentence: “Anyone who has collected such collections is a person who has never been on the battlefield. Take this Sharo as an example. Seeing this, one will recall the painful war". At this time, the warden was looking for a book with a picture of the general on the back cover and wanted him to sign it, but when he heard this, he immediately changed his face. From here, he became hostile to the general. The narrow-mindedness and indifference to the human nature of the military prisoner only led to his pitiful ending step by step.
Every time the general fouled, his intention was to help the prisoner regain the confidence and dignity of the soldier, but it was regarded by the warden as an affront to his authority. The warden could not tolerate it even more.
After a military prisoner was shot in order to defend his dignity, the general could not bear such a cruel warden, and finally began a smart counterattack. Of course, the purpose of the counterattack was not for other people, but to overthrow the warden. Of course the price is painful, but it is also respectable, because even these military criminals have made mistakes (many military criminals are small mistakes, and perhaps five years of military career will be ruined in five seconds) , But they still have a trace of military dignity deep in their hearts, and they are finally carried forward under the encouragement of the general. We are humans and we are soldiers. We should have the courage to maintain our dignity even if we sacrifice our lives. In the end, the general didn't really hang the flag upside down, it was just a lie in his plan to overthrow the warden. A real soldier will never make any jokes about his dignity, the respect of a soldier, and the dignity of the country.
I understand what a real soldier is. Even if they are not on the real battlefield, they still have the blood that will never admit defeat. Maybe they are no longer a real soldier at the moment, but they can’t be so useless when they are alive. People trampled.
Maybe the general can leave the prison smoothly and play dominoes with his grandson, but he doesn’t. This is not in line with his personality. He can endure the prosaic life of the second half of his life, but he can’t stand his dignity being trampled on. He chose Take back the dignity of everyone and yourself.
Every expression and action of the general reveals a calm and calm temperament that has experienced the stormy sea. I admire the general’s wisdom and the general’s personality. Perhaps only the battlefield of life or death can truly understand what human nature is. And friendship.
PS: It’s been a long time since I watched an inspiring movie like this. It feels a bit like the Oscar classic "Brave Heart", shouting for freedom, and shouting for dignity here.
Similarly, the generals are like the protagonists of "The Redemption of Shawshank" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". Real men have experienced strong winds and waves, calm and wise.
The two-hour movie is really short. In contrast, our 100-year life is only a moment of smoke. There are really many things we can’t experience, but the movie gives us a short spiritual experience. Maybe it’s nothing, but at least there is This belief will stay in my heart.
There are not many shadows, the most important is the essence, the life is not long, but the thick!
