    Mourning bird

    Perhaps people who have not experienced war really cannot understand the trauma and suffering that war will bring to people, not only themselves, but also the people around them. In recent years, there have been many anti-war films, some facing the battlefield and some depicting life after the war....

    A little more space is better

    If there are two kinds of stories. One is a tight structure and a compact plot, which drags the audience to climax all the way. The other may be casual, loose, any point will make you feel suspicious. The protagonist's coming and going are so nihilistic, and the lines are so indistinct. Then this...

    Ben Foster is not like a soldier.

    Shooting heavy themes. Either classic. Or boring. Obviously. This film has a problem with casting, Ben Foster? This guy is thin and weak, and has no military appeal. Of course. Maybe someone said This is true? Don’t forget. The so-called art comes from life, but is higher than life. This is not a...

    Another perspective of war

    The film tells about war from a narrow and unique perspective, presents the impact of war on the original ordinary family, and touches the heart. Ordinary family life is not always happy. But the moment the death messenger arrived, it was the hope of happiness, and the ashes disappeared in a flash....

    The story of two plague gods

    Who said Conan and Mouri Kogoro were plague gods? The two brothers in this film are the real plague gods! Soldiers in the family saw them crying or cursing from far away, or even fainted or vomited. They have to endure the inexplicable sense of guilt, but they will also be infected by the grief of...

    Unusual messenger, different sister and brother love

    As a 10-year Oscar nominated film for best supporting actor, "The Courier" has not received much attention. As a war film without war scenes, it has a different perspective and the story also shows a different color.  In war, there is nothing more cruel than sacrifice. Death is the ugliest thing...

    Cruelty of war

    In war, there is nothing more cruel than sacrifice. Death is the ugliest thing that cannot be avoided in war. War makes people's lives disappear directly, and it also leaves great sorrow and pain for the relatives and friends of the dead. Most war films focus on the scene of the war and use factual...

    Who is more painful

    In the war, who can tell which type of talent is the most painful? Is it a soldier born to death, an innocent civilian who has been ravaged by war, and a family member who has lost a loved one forever? Or soldiers who have no real chance to go to the battlefield or soldiers who have to go to inform...
