While listening to "No War on the West Front", I burst into tears more than once, and I secretly thanked more than once that I lived in a peaceful era. My grandfather, father, brother, my son, don't have to participate in the war or shed unnecessary blood.
Later, I read Jiang Yi's version of "No War on the West Front" on kindle, and watched the 3rd Academy Awards best film "No War on the West Front" on Tencent APP. The novel text and movie shots each have their own charm, and no one can replace anyone.
The author uses a humanitarian attitude, humorous and simple language to describe the difficult life of ordinary German soldiers on the front line of World War I, revealing the cruelty and absurdity of the war.
Even if you are lucky enough to not destroy your body and take your life by war, the war still ruins the lives and destiny of this generation.
The novel begins with a description of the soldiers who issued double supplies. Just as I was happy for the soldiers, I turned around and told the truth about the double supply: It turned out that there were 150 people in the entire company, and only 80 people came back. The humorous and witty language further highlights the impermanence of war, making people feel unbearable.
The description of the first dead Bem before his death was so stinging. It is just a simple word, a plain tone, as if talking homely words, but vividly outlines a scammering picture, which makes people feel uneasy. There is nothing more lonely and helpless than being thrown on the ray of death! There are many such pictures. War is a killing machine, and this machine is manipulated by politicians. What rights do they have to decide that so many people have bleed and sacrificed? !
The description of Murray's death before his death is probably only those who have experienced it personally can describe it in such a detailed description. Experience is the source of material, and writers can only extract material from their own experiences. Your own experience is a unique amount of wealth that others cannot take away.
As the author calls for, it should really bring those who advocate war in the world to the front line and experience what a real war is. People who have never experienced war always idealize and beautify war, and always associate greatness, heroes, immortality... just like young people are full of unrealistic fantasies about society. Don’t beautify ugly things, and don’t let innocent people, especially young people, get involved in dark political conspiracies.
There are too many hypocritical people in the world who think that they are doing good things, but in fact they are pushing others into the abyss of death without knowing it. Losing the so-called "authority" of human nature will eventually lead to self-respect. Only people in the same situation can understand each other. It’s hard to empathize without the same experience! Different locations and identities will not have the same view on a thing. It is indeed difficult to think from the perspective of others.
People must learn to observe, listen to their inner voices, respect their feelings, and not be blinded by the so-called "authority" and the so-called "mainstream"! Otherwise, you will become the leek that others can harvest the benefits.
War, probably like everything, only those who have never experienced it will yearn for it. Only ordinary soldiers on the front line know the cruelty and inhumane nature of war, and have the most right to comment. War is the advocacy of politicians, and ordinary people are deceived.
saw too many movies and TV series that praised the grand justice of war, but this is the first time that the essence of war is clearly seen from the perspective of an ordinary soldier. Is it because of the personal will of some politicians that thousands of young people pay the price of maiming and death? I sincerely hope that there will be no more wars of killing each other on Earth! Human beings live peacefully, develop together, and share the achievements of scientific and technological progress! Everyone has the right to live!
No matter how much pressure I feel in survival, can I surpass those frontline soldiers closest to death? Perhaps the people closest to Death can feel the beauty of life the most! And those who are far away from death do not cherish time and ignore the beauty in life!
Young, youth, make everything beautiful! War makes all simple and ordinary details of life desirable. Even sleeping on the front line has become a luxury. In difficult situations, humor is even more needed. Humor is the embodiment of inner strength, the flash of wisdom, and optimism and confidence.In the face of humor, all difficulties seem to turn into ashes that can be easily dusted away.
A truly vital novel is not only a description of details, but also a reflection on the times, a reflection on destiny, and a question of greater issues.
