While we are keen to concoct one after another tool film that shapes fighting heroes and promotes nationalism, the sticks have already begun to reflect on history, and "Highland War" is undoubtedly the best of them.
It is the best, not because it vividly depicts the cruelty of war and the distortion of human nature (there are many such anti-war films), but because it makes a ruthless criticism of the so-called meaning of war in the past, which is righteous and high-sounding: we Why fight? This question is not for the gentlemen sitting at the negotiating table to answer, maybe you can listen to the answer from the front: I have been playing for so long, I have forgotten.
The war in this film is the great War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea in our textbooks. I can’t help but wonder, why is no one filming such a great victory in China?
