I haven't seen a lot of war movies, neither with full interest nor with much opportunity. If I want to say that the memories are still fresh, I had the honor to enjoy the Beijing Film Festival in October last year. The selected films are "Liberation" Five Parts, "Siege Diary", "Above the Clouds", all related to Tama's war, see more It's not good for ears either. To say how my experience is, it is inseparable from my shallow knowledge. Regarding "Liberation", it shows several important battles of the Soviet Union in World War II, highlighting the strategic deployment and battle scenes, mixed with the stories of several small people. "Siege Diary" focuses on the changes in the fate and the turbulence of the minds of the little people under the war. The interlacing of the past and the present shows the difficulty of peace. "Above the Clouds" is a series of soldiers who walk through the black and white landscape to complete a task that seems to blow up an ammunition depot. My cognition stopped there. They praised the soldiers who dedicated themselves in the war and condemned the trampling of the good life by the war. Either great or peaceful.
It is also worth mentioning that when I returned to my hometown in the first month, I went to the cinema with my little cousin and a group to watch "Water Gate Bridge", which may have been a lively event. The theater was full, and everyone was talking about Yi Yang Qianxi's good acting skills. There are not many scenes in my impression. There are cannonballs going straight through the water pipes, being squashed by tanks in order to blow up the tanks, and Wu Jing being crushed in the ruins. Besides, there seem to be many comedy jokes made by the "stupid" US military. Can't get out of my mind for a long time. The film can also be said to be a big production, with realistic snowfall and indiscriminate bombardment, Wu Jing and Li Chen are also old actors.
Without exception, they all have a victory, that is, the winner of the war, the mayfly shaking a tree, turning a defeat into a victory, or challenging the limits of oneself, all have a shocking ending. "Highland War" has no winners, but it does not lack shock, in many ways.
in truth. The complex relationship between characters is more fully demonstrated across time and space. Kang, Kim, and Shin are soldiers of the Korean Crocodile Squadron, and Hyun and Ersec are soldiers of the Korean People's Army. The two sides are tugging at a highland battle, constantly vying for the sovereignty of the highland. In this tug of war, the relationship between characters who traveled through time and space became complicated and real, which can be reflected in the following three points.
In the beginning, Jiang and Jin were defeated by Xuan many years ago and became prisoners, and they survived at that time. At that time, the young officer Xuan asked, "Do you know why you are so vulnerable? Because you don't know why you are fighting." It seemed that the answer was clear in his mind, maybe it was for the sake of the country, for the sake of dignity, I was wondering. However, at the end of the film, when only one person on both sides survived, he asked Jiang again, hoping that Xuan could give him a favorite answer, so that everything, including the knot in his heart, would come to an end. It’s a pity that , Xuan replied "I used to know, but I forgot now". Yes, in the dozens of changes of ownership of the highlands, in the constant cycle of going up and down the highlands, the war has paralyzed the soldiers, and the soldiers have lost their sense of direction in the machine of the War Madman.
Shen is the squadron captain of the Crocodile Squadron. How did he survive, or how did the former Second Squad become the current Crocodile Squadron? In another battle, many years ago, all the Second Squad was surrounded by the sea. On one side of the sea was a ship that could only hold about 20 people, and on the other side were the ruthless bullets of the enemy. If you can choose one, if you want me, I will choose to pick up the boat without giving up everything. It was true that the boat was full, but the hull of the boat was full of people, and they were pulling the boat, begging for the slightest chance, so the boat could not sail, but the North Korean soldiers had little time left for them. Shen collapsed and panicked, picked up the machine gun and started a sweeping fire, shooting at his own people, his former comrades in arms. The boat finally left the shore, and the people on the boat bowed their heads and cried, not daring to face the grim-faced Shen. It can be said that Korean films, as always, are very slippery about human nature. The current Crocodile Squadron has quite a few soldiers on the ship at that time. One of them was mentally ill. He repeatedly asked Shen, "Where did our Second Squad go? Tell me! Tell me!" He reported them one by one again and again. name. But some people say, "Shen can always make us survive, and his decision is correct." The contradictions that travel through time and space are displayed here, which cannot be avoided or avoided, and it has become a scar.
There is a powerful sniper in the Korean People's Army, nicknamed "Two Seconds". It is said that he can't live for two seconds after being seen. He is a thorn in the crocodile squadron. Dozens of people have died under the two-second gun. This time they plan to dispatch to get rid of two seconds, so as to avoid future troubles. The first time to use radio remote command to bomb snipers in the mountains and forests with long-range artillery shells. The second time he finally got the opportunity, Jin made a plan in an emergency to lock the position for two seconds, but when he aimed at the muzzle, he hesitated, because he recognized the identity of two seconds, who was taken care of by his brother. Korean female soldier. I think there is a reason why the battle for the Highland War can continue and continue without any trouble. I think it lies in the tacit understanding reached by the two sides - helping to send letters to the family. In the letter from the Korean People's Army, there is a letter to the family, saying that they will take good care of their sister, and there is a photo in the letter, showing the appearance of the sister, this photo has been seen by Kim. It is said that this letter was written by my sister in the tone of my brother, and I didn't know until I read it. It was indeed very touching. Jin recognized the two seconds, the person in the photo, and he compromised, at the cost of his own life. Lao She wrote in "The Problem That Does Not Matter", "Noble intellectual decisions are often undermined by a little superficial and lowly feelings." This is the distance between the two mountains, but the relationship between the characters is also clear through the lens.
It's also about position. I don't think this film has a subjective winner's perspective. It's not the director, it's not the camera, it's not Korea, it's the war machine that keeps the whole film going.
Senior officials on both sides negotiated the ownership of the highlands, and the taxis below fearlessly charged and retreated, retreated and charged. A truce is as impractical, unattainable, and absurd as the two sides suddenly start laying down their guns and shaking hands in an indiscriminate bombing. But hope, hope, hope will come one day, when the war machine is tired. It finally came. At a certain moment when the Korean People's Army occupied the highlands, the good news of a truce suddenly came, like a dream. It's a pity that I really saw a joke. The truce is a real thing, but it will be implemented at 10 o'clock in the evening, so I can't stop or give up before, and we must continue to sacrifice. I think, as a human being, there will always be a moment in life when there is an urge to compromise, but War Machine does not, its operation is rigid and unchangeable, and its end is either unknown or certain. . Simply put, Gears of War is no joke. Still have to charge, no matter the crocodile squadron or the People's Army, they have to charge or defend, no joke.
The war is finally over. Only Jiang of the Crocodile Squadron and Xuan of the People's Army survived. In the end, the two of them accidentally came to the hole in the highland with blood and blood, and they all came to the hole in the highland to drink together. As said earlier, Jiang asked the last question, "What are we doing?". This question is not reserved for Xuan, but a question for the world to think about. We have to wait for politicians in the world to really network, add WeChat or Twitter to each other, and call each other once a week. Either every politician hides photos of each other's cheating, drug use, and maybe no one will ask that again.
The real good news came on the radio, the time is up, the official truce! The two laughed in unison, as if the war was a joke.
