The works from 16 years ago are still classic

I have always heard of this show, but I have never watched it, because I have only recently started to get in touch with American dramas a lot, from the first season of Prison Break, to Breaking Bad, Westworld, Black Mirror, Super Sense Hunting, to this The great epic war drama really made me feel the cruelty, brutality, darkness, and horror of war so deeply for the first time. No war drama has ever given me such an immersive experience. . In fact, I am a person who rarely watches dramas. Because it takes too much time, the most impressive thing is the domestic "Soldier Assault". It is also because I watched that drama and went to Xinjiang to serve as a soldier for two years. It has been almost seven years since I was discharged from the army in the blink of an eye. , I feel like crying every time I recall those military years, so I can especially appreciate the emotions of those veterans.
The stance of this drama is very neutral, and it did not deliberately provoke hatred against the Germanic nation. The Allies also committed atrocities. I believe that people who can watch this drama will have some new understanding of peace.
I see that many friends have been taking the Japanese as an example. It is true that the Japanese in the past were indeed anti-human, but times are changing, not all Japanese are like this, and now most of the people are anti-war. Hiroshima The two atomic bombs in Nagasaki have already paid a heavy price for this nation. Only a small group of people advocate war. Of course, history will always remember the atrocities committed by the Japanese in China, but their sons should not be allowed to It is up to future generations to bear, unless we can erase Japan from this world, which of course is impossible.
I remember one year during the Spring Festival, I was chatting with a Japanese friend on WeChat, and my nephew, who was only six or seven years old, saw it, and then he ran to his mother in fear and said, "Mom, mom, uncle is actually talking to the Japanese. Chat!!!" I can't laugh or cry, such a small child, in their small heads, the Japanese are just Japanese devils shouting "Baga tearing tearing drop" on TV. I don't know, will this kind of national sentiment cultivated since childhood really evolve into a patriotic act? Or is it just a national hatred?
And these, I think it has nothing to do with the domestic anti-Japanese dramas, such as tearing devils and the like, blindly vilifying the Japanese army, watching too much will make it very fake, but children will take it seriously.
After watching "Band of Brothers", I don't think how ugly and cruel the German army is, how glorious the Allies are, of course, except for the part of the concentration camp, which is really horrific, I only think that the war itself is really cruel, whether it is the victor or the The losing side is the result of countless fresh lives. Behind peace is the shadow of war.
