I didn't watch "Changjin Lake" on National Day, but watched the Korean movie "Highland War".
The film revolves around the story of the two Koreas competing for a strategic highland at the end of the Korean War. For this so-called strategic highland, the armies of the two sides have changed hands more than 30 times in the past two years, and countless bodies have been buried under the cover.
War can make minors under the age of eighteen have to shoot each other; it can turn a person who would only hide in a trench and hold a cross and say God bless me not to kill me in the beginning of the war to say kill them in the end. Let’s do it; soldiers who can shoot their comrades with machine guns in order to get on the boat in a hurry will have to inject morphine to numb themselves and not think about those past events; they can drive people crazy; they can make people lost in the war. The little girl on the forearm asked my uncle if my arms could grow when I grew up.
The war that soldiers on both sides thought could be stopped in a short period of time has not ended. At the beginning of the movie, the North Korean leader was still mocking the Korean prisoners who lost a battle for not knowing what to fight for, but when the two sides met again at the end, he said, it was clear, but it took too long. , do not remember.
Clearly speaking the same language, the political war forced them to shoot at their own countrymen.
There are also some warm things in the rain of bullets. The soldiers of the South Korean side dug a small dirt pit in the high ground. The original intention was to store things. After the North Korean side discovered it, the small dirt pit became a medium for communication between the two sides. You put a bottle of wine, I will Putting a pack of cigarettes, and even a letter from the soldiers who entered the DPRK to the South Korean side to send to their families, the South Korean soldiers also took the risk of spying to send them one by one. They are enemies, and to some extent, they are also comrades-in-arms, but in fact, they are a family.
As soon as the armistice agreement was signed, I thought that I could finally save the life I finally left behind and go back to see my family. The two sides said goodbye by the stream where they met, "Going well all the way, thanks for your hard work", and at the same time as saying to each other, it seems that they are also saying to themselves. It seems that it is really over. There's still half an hour left for the movie, and it really isn't over. There are still 12 hours before the agreement comes into effect. During this period, the DPRK and the ROK will launch a general offensive in all directions, taking the land finally won by both sides as the boundary. For these lands, I don't know how many people will die. As long as the war lasts for one more day and one hour, many more innocent lives will be taken away. One side echoed the folk songs sung by the other, making the ending even more tragic. "We are not fighting the enemy, we are fighting the war; we are not killed by the enemy, we are killed by the war." War, for what? What has war made us into? There may be bugs, but it's still a good movie. A good war movie is not for us to grit our teeth to hate hatred and establish a dualism of black and white, but to think about peace and not make the world more antagonistic, we are all a community with a shared future for mankind...
