The annihilation of human nature is the cruelest part of war. No matter how lofty the beliefs, how firm the will is, they are no match for the fear of death and the strong desire for life when dying.
There is a scene in the film where two people fight against each other, one of them suppresses the other to the ground, and raises a sharp knife to pierce.
The suppressed party knew that he could not resist and began to beg for mercy: "Wait, please don't do this, slow down."
The eyes of the two were entangled with each other, and the other party still stabbed the bayonet into his chest without hesitation...
This is war, and it can make people who don't know each other draw their swords against each other, because either you die or I die.
The person who naively tried to persuade the other party to let him go may just be cheating, or maybe he just found out that the two of them did not have mortal hatred, and imagined that the two of them could stop fighting and live in peace with each other. But he forgot the most important point, the universal values of reason and morality have long been invalid in war.
The destruction of human beings by war is to expose the ugliest part of human nature to the sun, and regard it as the law of survival.
