Urban, is it kindness to die?

Watching the entire film, there are too many tears, the only one that makes me angry is Urban.

When John let the German go, I thought everything was normal and completely understandable, the humanitarian psychology of treating prisoners of war.

But along the way, after experiencing so many big gun battles and the murder of your companions, you fell off the chain at a critical moment.

There is no bullet supply, a few steps away, your companion is fighting with the person you just let go, listening to the roar in the house, how can you stand by and see death?

Can this be called kindness? A passer-by knows that the road is uneven and draws a knife to help, not to mention that you have a gun in your hand, a weapon to knock down the enemy!

Because of your cowardice, you may kill more than just a companion.

In a German war film "Our Fathers", Fredham was also a pacifist. He was unwilling to kill people at the beginning and dared not shoot, but the war brought people to a primitive society, where the practice is jungle The rule is that either you die or I die.

He was forced to go against his original intention, obeyed the order to kill the enemy without blinking an eye, and finally held the determination to die, and died on the battlefield if his wish was fulfilled. Even if such a person survived, it would be a great torture.

But Urban, at first it was good to let the fascists go. He waited through the stairs and rushed out after the reinforcements arrived. It was a bit disgusting. Don't say that he represents ordinary people. You think ordinary people are too bad.

a person's worth? The value of eight people? In the trolley problem, there is the same choice problem.

Although they also killed many German soldiers in the process of looking for Ryan, no one can decide the life and death of others.

If you want to stand on the mother's standpoint, the mother who lost three sons and only one son is sad, and the other mothers who lost their sons are not sad?

Yes, for the sake of cohesion in war, sacrifice and obedience must be emphasized, but some sacrifices are too heavy to bear in life.

If I were Ryan, I'd spend the rest of my life in guilt, including his mother, and I'd rather kill the enemy happily.
