Written on day 4 of Russia's "special military campaign" to attack Ukraine.
In the classification of all movies, there is a category of movies called "war movies". The fundamental theme of all war movies is anti-war, but almost all war movies without exception create intense war scenes, aircraft, cannons, and tanks. , fragmented limbs, through these brutal war scenes, people feel the cruelty of war, but the real war does not need such so-called scenes at all.
It can be said that among all the war movies I have seen, none can compare to the documentary "Sniper's War" that I saw today, just because this is not a movie, but something that really happened.
All of this happened and is still happening.
People always have all kinds of memories and imaginations about war. War will always exist along with the existence of human beings, and the wish for eternal peace for mankind can only be a good wish.
In this not-too-long documentary, some memorable scenes are not that outstanding, but they really taught me what war is.
The residents of the Donetsk region who are still on the front line have an old man who keeps pigeons. When the protagonist of the story visited a sniper from Serbia, he told him that when the sniper was able to return home, he would visit him again and he would send him The pigeon was given to the sniper, but the sniper said that his country, Serbia, had just passed a law that volunteers outside the country would not be allowed to return home.
What is the hatred of the country and the family? Who is this a war against and for what?
A few days ago, I also saw the documentary of the battle for the Donetsk airport. The excellent commander of Donbas, Kivi, was at the forefront of the battle against the Ukrainian army, but was finally assassinated by the Ukrainians with rocket launchers during the armistice.
Although these are from the perspective of the Donbass, Ukraine's indiscriminate attacks on the Donbass region, on civilians and on hospitals, schools, churches, are indisputably real. In this sense alone, the Ukrainian military is by no means a just party.
Both sides are accusing each other of being fascists, but those who still use the statue of Lenin as the symbol of the square, those who still maintain reverence for the Soviet Red Army, can't imagine why they are also regarded as Nazis?
Ukraine is willing to be the pawn of NATO and the United States, and the situation it faces now is really self-inflicted.
It is hard to prosper the people, and it is hard to perish the people. The world is not like that.
poor people.
