"Fury" -- the hard way

When I was about to write this review, I was in the same mood as Norman - this is not my job. He's just a typist, and I've never written anything but tangled love stories. This kind of bloody, passionate, sweat and tears are infiltrated with men's romantic movies, which seems to be out of my control.
But as Nine Swords said, life is a non-stop battle, so my battlefield came here.
I saw an interesting talk on TED recently, saying that what we see is often not the whole of reality, but more of a disguise of reality. And such camouflage, or visual interface, is actually to meet our own needs. So the teammates saw Don's tough and tenacious side as the captain, and we saw him hiding in the middle of the tank with a distorted expression and crying. You see, after the Nazis were arrested, they knelt down and begged for mercy, took out the photo, and said: Look, I have my wife and children waiting at home—could it be—the soldiers who died at the gunpoint of the Nazis were all alone and did not expect them to go home Are you dear? But where to ask right or wrong on the battlefield, there is a slight hesitation, either you die or I die. What you see is what you need, and the position may just be a refraction of different angles.
And we humans are inherently timid and cowardly. It's not that we all fear death, but we all tend to give in. When Don asked Norman to shoot the Nazi soldiers, Norman said, please, please kill me. At the end, when the German soldiers approached the tank step by step, and they knew that they had no way out, Norman said: I am so scared. I almost want to surrender. We put aside the military, put aside technology, put aside how different the film and history are, there is always one thing that touches me - human nature. The nature and commonality of human beings can easily resonate in any era, making you immerse and understand, rather than dismissing and accusing. The last German soldier who inspected the bottom of the car was the shadow of Norman. When the blood of war has not infected them, and the hatred in their hearts has not grown and spread in the flames, will these children turn into killing machines for no reason - "Machine", does his name represent a kind of praise or not? A sarcasm? However, life is sometimes ironic, it is ironic that we hold fast to what we firmly believe, for example, belief.
The saint named Bible asked the young man, if you believe in God, are you saved? If I were a theist, at that moment, I would have wondered if the life-saving straw that I had held firmly over the years had also betrayed me. When the heaven and the earth are chaotic, whether the inner belief also falls apart. I think the film deliberately brings up such a question, how to find the rebirth of the soul in the fire of war. Just remembered a book I was reading recently, "Don't Give Up, Don't Give In". The protagonist, Louis Zamperini, was also a soldier who experienced World War II. Remember what the book said, many people will be lost for a long time after the war is over. Faith can act as an invisible force in our actions in those days when every day is killing, I think. But at the same time, does this cruel reality that is contrary to the ideal world also bring a greater impact on people's spirit? In growth, shock is inevitable, and it is precisely because of this that everyone grows for such a long time, step by step. However, there are times when life forces you to speed up your growth and keep going, just as Norman has transformed from a typist to a forward fighter - no one is introspected in happy times, only in pain and suffering This is the only way to strongly motivate us to grow, and this is by no means a self-seeking challenge, but completely helpless without a choice. It should be the right attitude not to encourage pain and suffering. To be honest, no one wants to rush you to grow up quickly and be a thankless character if it is nothing. Therefore, sometimes people who feel that they are too cruel to you when they grow up may just tell you that to live better, they must quickly adapt to growth and change. Is this kind of urging and change a spur or a real need? Maybe we all need a seasoned person to pass on the experience.
Speaking of faith, in many previous exchanges with Christians, when they asked how to perceive the existence of God, many people would say, you can't see the wind, but you can feel the existence of the wind; you can't see a person's heart , but you feel the presence of his heart. I just laughed at these metaphors. Didn't Kundera say that metaphors are a very dangerous thing. And the most impressive answer is: God will have different incarnations, and He may bring information to you through different people, things, and things. However, this kind of magical explanation won my heart. Just like I am obsessed with fate, I always feel that there is a mystery in the encounter in the world, not to mention the past five hundred times. And what I want to say is that Don at the end seems to be the embodiment of their beliefs, giving them a stable and strong strength in the end. Sometimes we don't need to talk about our faith all the time, but that doesn't mean we don't have the power in our hearts. Don't all men like such cool things, swallowing their thoughts in their stomachs, it is called the romance of men. I really don't know if this is the director's intention, or it's just a difference in cultural background, so the discussion of beliefs should be stopped because of this, and there is no deeper insight.
Let's respond to the book "Don't Give Up, Don't Give In". When the author returned safely, everyone called him a hero, but he said that the word "hero" is too easy to use in this era, And he believes that the word should be dedicated to those who lost part of their bodies, or their lives, in the war. The survivors are absolutely lucky.
And I only know that I cherish this peaceful era more. At the same time, I hope that those areas that are still at war will calm down the rage and whistling of the war as soon as possible.
