At the negotiating table, the parties of China, the United States, South Korea and North Korea are scheming, and they have been arguing for more than two years. The strange thing is that the fire did not stop during the negotiation, and the war is still going on. The power has also changed hands countless times in the past two years, just because the control of this highland may be used as the basis for the division of the border between North Korea and South Korea.
By the end of the war, both sides were exhausted, and no one could tell when the truce would officially cease, but no one could stop the fact that the war was still going on. So if you hear the order to fight, fight if you should, and sacrifice if you need to sacrifice, no one knows what will happen in the end. The cruel details of the crocodile squadron's retreat from Pohang are interspersed in the middle. It turns out that the young captain was still a first-class soldier. In order to retreat, he took a machine gun to shoot his comrades who wanted to board the ship and even had to lie on the ship. Finally, he saved his life from Pohang. All fallen comrades were described as "heroic resistance and sacrifice". There are not many human scenes added. Because the control of the highland changes frequently, the two sides actually began to exchange items through the bunker tunnel. There are letters, food, drinks, and photos. The foreshadowing buried here is absolutely flying~ Another branch line And because of the stupid boss, the heavy weapon fell into the hands of the enemy, and then the fighter was delayed, which almost led to the annihilation of the entire army. In the last resort, Kim Soo Hyuk shot the stupid boss and shot the head, and then began to lead the brothers to retreat . It turns out that many unnecessary sacrifices were caused by stupid bosses who didn't know the battle situation were sent to the front line, and then made a series of wrong decisions, and many innocent soldiers were killed for these mistakes. This kind of proposition has been tried and tested in war movies, but it broke the boss directly. This is the first time I have seen it.
At the end of the fight, the news of the armistice finally came, and both sides cheered, because no one wanted to continue to increase unnecessary sacrifices. Just when the armistice reached the front line, Kim Soo Hyuk almost became the last person who died before the end of the war, the one who took his life, the bull sniper who they called "two seconds" was actually a girl; and He didn't know until his death that this girl was the girl who had left pictures in the tunnel, and he also took a fancy to the "chocolate" he wanted to marry as his wife.
Of course, if the film ends like this, I will give 4 stars at most, so in the end it is the wonderful part of 5 stars! After the armistice agreement was signed, it did not take effect immediately, but gave both parties 12 hours. One sentence and one clause on the negotiating table means how many lives will be sacrificed. Maybe no one cares. Both sides thought that the war was over, and happily celebrated that they had survived the war, played and played in the stream, and even arranged such an encounter that was actually quite deliberate, in order to let everyone in the final Before the fight, they met each other and became familiar with each other, and "two seconds" also learned that the person who was sniping from a distance was Kim Soo Hyuk who got her photo in the tunnel.
The final tragic rendering is extraordinarily tragic. Although neither side was willing to fight anymore, both sides knew that they were soldiers and had to obey orders, no matter how absurd and fucked the order was. So in the fog the two sides actually sang to each other - the soul-soothing song hummed for the last victim, the soul-soothing song hummed for themselves. After the fog dissipated, the bayonet on both sides saw red, and it was life and death. The drama of the People's Volunteer Army is deliberately downplayed here, because we all know that the Volunteer Army is not a kind-hearted existence on the entire Korean Peninsula, and we wishful thinking that it was to "save" them. In addition, the allies on the South Korean side are also deliberately portrayed as "pig teammates". They have never been seen in a positional battle, and they are only still bombed in the sky; after a round of positional battles, they were still alive when the front lines were intertwined. Carry out another round of bombing, and it is not clear whether the bombing is an enemy or a friend.
Then everything was as normal, those who thought they had survived were all sacrificed at the end, just before the dawn of the dawn, just before the deadline for the additional 12 hours, only Kang Eun Biao survived. . Before that, even I felt that he was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality: what kind of red elements, some internal collaborators, and willing to fabricate lies for them when they saw children's hands being blown off, it's just sanctimonious. Having experienced the baptism of war, he will no longer care about these things, because survival is the profound meaning of the whole war. And these people who died on the top of a mountain in front of them may not even understand what they are fighting for. At the beginning, Kim Soo Hyuk's words made sense. The key is to survive the war. The enemy at the beginning is the war itself.
So in the end, in fact, the reflection on anti-war thinking is very thorough, and it is another Korean war movie that is brilliantly shot.
