People are knives, I am fish

This is a different WWII movie.

During World War II, Estonia was occupied by Germany and the Soviet Union respectively and was involved in the war. Young people in Estonia belonged to two different camps - the German army and the Soviet army. Therefore, Estonia during World War II staged the "Born from the same root, but He Tai. urgent" tragedy.

A small country sandwiched between two big countries has become a chess piece for a big country. It charges for justice that does not belong to itself, and participates in wars that do not belong to itself. The wars are lost and won, and all the people who die are their own compatriots, and they are helpless. How unfortunate this is! As the so-called "people are knives and I am fish".

There are many movies that reflect on war, especially through World War II-themed movies to show the cruelty and brilliance of war, such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List", etc. But this movie is based on the experiences of Estonia itself during World War II. Reflecting on the war is also unique and has a unique perspective. It neither vilifies the fascist camp nor beautifies the anti-fascist camp, but only reflects the sorrow of a small country from its own experience, so as to reflect on the war.

War is always cruel, whether it is a big country or a small country, the war will always bring harm, as the so-called "killing a thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred". So, we oppose war, call for peace, and cherish peace. May the world enjoy peace forever and there will be no more wars!

    Nothing new June 7, 2015. The second brush in May 2020, I didn’t take it seriously at that time, Estonia was repeatedly ravaged by Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II, and the soldiers even hit here and there, and they couldn’t avoid hitting themselves and North Korea in “Day of the Landing”. . The tension of the plot is still not good, I specially know about Estonia, a small country sandwiched in Europe

    It is a work of conscience that sees the big from the small (the first person to thank in this film is Matt Lal, and you can rest assured that he has a historical view). Dual protagonists and dual perspectives, but they both inevitably fall prey.
