Get everything or nothing extreme attitude to face death, Nick, who experienced Russian roulette, completely gets rid of the anxiety of facing death, directly transforms complex feelings into a kind of firmness, and integrates it into realistic struggles and actions, so as to transcend guilt feelings The more painful the shadow, the more it shows the gambling nature of rebirth in death, and the persistence and even the pursuit without hesitation. In the last scene, people who live peacefully ignorantly sing the national anthem. That is the natural barrier between war and peace. Only by experiencing it can we know what war really means.
