Saving Private Ryan, is it worth?

1. In order not to be overly saddened by the mother who has lost 3 sons on the battlefield, and to appease a broken family in the name of the country and the people, Captain John Miller led 8 soldiers to find Ryan. This special action has to make people admire the American people's emphasis on humanity. But at the same time, we can’t help but ask—is it worth? As Miller said, soldiers sacrificed before, we can comfort ourselves, but one sacrificed for 10, 20, 100 lives, it’s worth ! But now, for a Private Ryan, is it worth sending 9 people to risk their lives to save one person? So someone said <>It tells exactly what happens when the rights and interests of the minority and the public conflict. She is small and Gu Da? Or give up the big and take care of the small? The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, and they are reluctant to part with them. A person's rights are rights, so aren't everyone's rights not rights? Everyone's right is a right, isn't a person's right not a right? Since he entered the battlefield according to the draft requirements, life and death should have been put aside. Everyone has the same obligations and rights, and life and death are already out of their control, so I tend not to save Ryan. If it is to take care of the family, it should be like in ancient China, no old women and children, and at least one young and middle-aged man in the family, so that there will be no Saving Private Ryan situation. What should be done when individual interests conflict with collective interests? The different attitudes of China and the West reflect their different values, ways of thinking and principles of doing things. I am more inclined to take care of the interests of the majority so that more people can benefit.

2. The Interpreter, who knew German and French, was so cowardly to see his comrade killed by the enemy. If he did this because he was too kind and cherished life, including the enemy's, so we have to forgive him, then he watched his companion be killed by the enemy without doing anything, does that also mean that he does not value his companion's life? ? Since one of the two must die, and it is a brutal battle of life and death, do you still need to think about who you want to help and keep whose life? The kindness at this time is not kindness, but cowardice. Because the war is too cruel, many concepts have lost their original meaning in the war. What we should do is to protect ourselves and fight the enemy, otherwise we will die in the end!

3. Ironically, the Interpreter was full of pity on the German prisoner of war, and pushed hard for the prisoner's release, but the prisoner ended up killing Miller. Miller initially agreed to let the prisoners of war go, but didn't he plant a calamity and become his own executioner instead? Everyone's life is precious, but in such a situation, the possibility of the German soldier who was released from escaping the battlefield is extremely small, and if he is released, he will certainly not find the enemy on the anti-fascist front to surrender, On the contrary, he will definitely do whatever it takes to find his own organization, and the result is to continue to fight and kill more enemy troops. To let him go would undoubtedly put his fellow man in danger, and it would be unwise. You talk to him about humanity and respect his life. In turn, will he talk about humanity to you and respect the lives of you and your comrades-in-arms? impossible! Therefore, the controllable prisoners of war can not be killed. Such uncontrollable prisoners of war must not be let go, otherwise 99% of them will bite you back, because he also wants to survive in the war, and he also hopes that he can win, people. It's normal. . The cowardly Interpreter finally killed the German soldier, and the German soldier was the only one he killed, which really symbolized a kind of self-salvation. Interpreter has a more profound understanding of the cruelty of war. He has matured in the war for all to see. At the same time, he also has a more profound understanding of the cruel reality of war. In the face of war, what we need is different courage and strong belief than usual. We must fight for victory, justice, and freedom.

4. People are different after all. Some people seem to be born with fighting genes. They only know how to kill without the slightest sympathy, while others are just the opposite. Most people are in the middle and have to kill, but they still have the heart merciful. Although we have to kill the enemy, I think we should not lose our basic humanity, and we should have some compassion. We are not war machines, killing machines. With humanity, there is hope for mankind.

Of course, we are against wars, we are longing for peace!
