"I've given up prayer now. How many people have we killed now, how can we possibly be redeemed?"

- "Do you know why you lost? Because you don't know why you are fighting!"...-"Before you said we didn't know why we were fighting, then tell me why you were fighting?"-"I knew before, but time It was too long, I forgot."

"Thank you for the goggles, it's really nice to have him in the summer!"—"Oh, it's Sing Boy."—"That..."Sing Boy" died...killed by me."—" ... He must have killed many of our comrades too."

War is not a bloody march, especially when it is protracted. It is a monster with a bloody mouth that devours everything.

A commander of the People's Army with ideals and firm beliefs; a sniper who will pull the trigger even in the face of acquaintances; a company employee with a family and a room; a fighting hero who once fought bloody resistance against aggression; The scholar of the cross; the airborne officer who scolded Fang Qiu and prepared to show his skills on the battlefield; the intelligence officer from the spy agency; the underage child singing pop songs... Who left the battlefield alive in the end?

The former Lieutenant Gan Enbiao has died in Elroc Heights, along with everyone else.

The climax of the scene comes at the end, when a repeating, absurd "The armistice goes into effect now, and all hostilities cease immediately," is heard on the radio. It's as if the officers radioed an easy end to a bloodbath. war.

But everyone died, the commander of the People's Army and the lieutenant of the Wehrmacht, the people in the north smoking the cigarettes of the south, and the people in the south drinking the wine of the north. Suddenly, it was discovered that the target of the fight was an acquaintance who had known each other for many years.

On a radio broadcast, the audience was crying, while the two sides in the war had already shed their tears and could only respond with painful laughter.

The end of black humor is endless sadness, just like the Korean War and the DMZ, the scars that no one wants to remember but cannot erase.

Whenever, wherever, and whoever is, the enemy of mankind is war itself. Give up the stupid and crazy idea of ​​"use a war to solve the problem!" As long as you are still human, you will never be willing to stab a sharp knife into the heart of someone you know well.

    It is a good text to attribute war to the desire of every life, fight war to survive, but many scenes seem to be too procrastinated, photography and images in a lot of dialogue scenes have a sense of disharmony like soap operas, but this is still for A very successful war film depicting human nature. Although the technical convenience is a little bit worse, the story is great, it can be regarded as the last Korean war film after [Tai Chi flag flutters]. ★★★★
