war

A war about the fate of all mankind and even the entire earth has quietly and absurdly kicked off...

It seems unbelievable that the US Air Force General Jack Ray suspects that the "rotten ideas" of the CPSU are poisoning the "righteous and kind" American people. The cruelty of war is difficult for us in a peaceful age to experience. The film uses a series of contrasts and metaphors to interpret the cruelty of war. The fighters on the front lines are so innocent. The purpose of their existence in the war years is only to give those leaders the realization of their so-called claims. This is really unfair to those innocent people. Such absurd war began at the expense of other people's lives. Fortunately, the film also has a humorous way to show the theme, making the whole tone less monotonous.
