The alternative hero of the bloody cruel battlefield

I was silent for a long time after watching "Blood Battle of Steel Drama Ridge". This film is not only visually and audibly shocking, but what shocked me more is the power of belief.

It was a bit of a surprise to go to the cinema to watch "Blood War on Steel Drama Ridge", because I don't have the habit of going to the cinema to watch war movies. For a Chinese, the films that he has watched the most should be war films, from "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare", "Railway Guerrilla", etc., to various anti-Japanese war dramas (hand torn) Devils, Thousands of Miles Take the Enemy's Head, etc.). So much so that the impression of the Japanese in my mind is that they are very stupid and stupid; the understanding of war is not much different from the killing scenes of martial arts films and police and bandit films. Until I finished watching "Blood Battle of Steel Drama Ridge".

The war scenes in "Blood Battle of Steel Drama Ridge" have an immersive feeling, when the soldiers who just stood up were shot through their heads; when their legs were blown off by shells; when the flame gun scorched those when soldiers. The battlefield scene was full of broken limbs, broken legs, heart, liver, spleen and lungs, as if it were a slaughterhouse. Although I knew in my heart that it was all fake, I couldn't help being nervous and scared. This movie gave me a
new understanding of war, cruelty, killing, brutality, bloodshed... and also understand that peace does not come easily.


When watching the film, the stubbornness and persistence of the protagonist Dawes reminds me of Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump". They all have persistence, stubbornness and love for something, which will make people feel sympathetic and motivated. , sadness, joy. Dawes has always been reluctant to touch the robbery because of his beliefs and was listed as a conscientious objector. He was always seen by his comrades and officers, but it was this unarmed soldier who saved 75 comrades in arms. He expressed it with practical actions. Unyielding, strong and brave. In fact, there is a kind of great love from the core of religious belief, and there can also be alternative heroes in the bloody and cruel battlefield, which is worthy of our respect and memory.
