brutally real

I shivered for some reason just now.

I watched the 306-minute version for 5 hours, and the feeling when I watched it, especially when they were in the submarine, felt boring, boring, empty, and even felt meaningless, when there was no battle, I hope that the battle will start soon, the battle will begin Well, hope it ends soon.

Does the director want to make it shorter, but he can't, don't the soldiers in the submarine feel the same way as I do? Before getting off the submarine, they went down with clean and tidy faces, and when they came back, the beards on their faces could hold birds.

The narrow and suffocating space, the activity space is even smaller than the prison cell, 50 people share a small toilet, their world is all in this small space, and life is also here.

It's really depressing to watch, and now there is still a dark cloud in my heart that I can't spit out. Under the beautiful, grand and empty slogans, these people joined the army, and the old captains who have experienced wars heard these radio programs in the submarine. , I have been impatient to listen to it, and ordered someone to turn it off. All he cares about is how to bring these people back alive.

The depressing space makes people uncomfortable, worry about being crushed by water after diving, worry about the depth charge of the destroyer, the sonar sound of drip, drip, drip, like a devil, like a ghost, like a volley sword hanging on the head, more than The fear is even more fearful of knowing that it is there, but not knowing when it will happen, and the accompanying reporters have no desire to take pictures.

To avoid the destroyer, they dived too deep, the water pressure was too high, and the submarine was crushed. They repaired, and they were bombed. The real war really has no drama, no story, and no heroism. It is with a lot of fear, a little bit, are they brave, no, only have to do it, horror, death is like air, also want this small submarine to surround them, waiting for a long time, just like these 5 The hour-long movie is hard to bear, when will it end, and what is the motivation to live? It's to go back to see the fiancée, to see the child who is about to be born, and people who have been in combat can give people a nervous breakdown. The film opens with a group of sailors urinating on the officer's jeep, whoever you are. Splash at banquets, whatever the occasion, and the officers let them vent, they know what they've been through.

They were bombed several times, flooded into the submarine, and were destroyed in many places. I thought they were finished, but I didn’t expect them to repair the submarine tenaciously. Call them heroes. From the captain's expression, I can feel why he thinks, we are fighting to the death just for this to eat, to be regarded as a hero, how painful and contradictory he is in his heart.

In the end, his men risked their lives to cross the Strait of Gibraltar and arrived at his military base. Unexpectedly, his men were all shot to death by a sudden air attack. Together with the submarine that had been with him for a long time, he completely collapsed. , passed out.

What is the price of all this?


In stark contrast to the depressing, suffocating, dirty, cramped, dangerous, lonely, empty, disgusting, maddening, and contradictory atmosphere in the submarine was the happy, noisy, and neat atmosphere of the German Army's gala dinner ashore. It makes people imagine the beauty of war, instills a sense of heroism and pride, and brings you hope, which will also destroy your hope of being a person.

I remember Wang Shuo talking on Phoenix TV's Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang's threesome program that generals are not belligerent, they know what war is, and those who are really belligerent are often those generals who have never experienced war, and those who put patriotism first. gangster.

It also reminds me of a retired American five-star general who put all his honorary medals in the army in a small box and never showed them to his family and friends. Now I know why.
