What exactly is war. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was the first and last question Lan Li asked Tim in the boot camp.

When the two of them first really talked, Lan Li asked this question, at that time Tim just smiled, did not answer, moved on to other topics, Lan Li could feel it, Tim was reluctant to say more, before leaving San Diego, Lan Li asked the same question again, Tim's expression was very complicated, he did not answer immediately, but did not leave him, but paused for a long time, about half a cigarette, he replied, "I don't know." ”

I do not know.

That's the answer Tim gave him, from a veteran who went to the battlefield twice. During the filming of "Pacific War", Lan Li constantly thought about this question, not only because it was the answer that Eugene was looking for, but also because Lan Li was exploring the doubts.

For some, war is glory. Just like Lan Li and Lamy, being injured is a medal, which represents that they have experienced the baptism of blood and fire, that they have the last laugh in the arduous confrontation, and that they have completed their growth and transformation by washing away the lead.

For some, war is a hero. It's like the phrase in "Band of Brothers", I'm not a hero, but I fight side by side with heroes. The friendship between brothers who support each other and cover each other, struggling to survive on the line of death, won the victory, and makes people's blood boil and follow one another.

For some, war is death. It's like corpses all over the clearing, there are enemy soldiers, friendly soldiers and innocent people, and the living lives are passing away, and finally evolving into a series of numbers, but no one remembers the true meaning behind the numbers, as if life no longer has meaning here, not even alive.

For some, war is a benefit. Just like John Baslon, a real war hero in history, his teammates stayed on the battlefield to fight, and people were dying every hour of every day, while he was singing and dancing on American soil, selling war bonds, and receiving favors from beauties, all of which were just a string of money numbers in the hands of Wall Street.

But why did Tim say, "I don't know"?

He saw the soldier lose his mind because he had killed too many Japanese, and sat in stupor and counted as if all the friendly troops in front of him were enemy soldiers, and he saw the soldiers of the same company in the middle of the night screaming because of the nightmare, gradually losing control, and they had to execute the soldier with their own hands in order to avoid revealing his position, and he fell into a nightmare forever in a deep sleep.

He was almost killed by a Japanese bomb, but after surviving the enemy, he had to fight with his bare hands, and when the dagger pierced into the opponent's abdomen, the hot blood stained his hands; he passed through the rain of bullets and saved his wounded partner on a stretcher, and only halfway through, the detonation of the air raid directly ended the life of the wounded.

He personally captured a Japanese soldier, but it was a teenage child, and he raised his hands in surrender in panic, which made him lower the barrel of his gun, but his friendly friends used the child as a target to bet on who could shoot more accurately, and after watching the innocent people in the area being used as human bombs, he cried "help" and mixed into the ranks, but the Japanese detonated the bomb, causing cascading damage.

So, what the hell is war? Lan Li once thought that he would understand, at least after really experiencing what Eugene was facing, but after a few months, he didn't.

After Lan Li asked that question one last time, Tim told a little story.

A war photographer went to the streets of Baghdad to look for material, and he walked around the living quarters, where daily life was still going on, as if the fighting had not had much of an impact, and had created a moment of peace. At this moment, a little girl of three or four years old quickly crossed the street and ran towards the ruins behind her, and the photographer subconsciously raised the camera in her hand and aimed it at the little girl.

Just such an action made the little girl stop in panic, raise her hands high, and look at the photographer timidly, her dusty face was filled with terror, her dark eyes were quickly covered by tears, and she begged in fear.

The photographer was stunned, he didn't know what was wrong with his actions, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the little girl, but heard her keep muttering in a trembling voice, "Don't kill me." She thought the photographer was holding a gun.

"I used to believe that I was fighting for justice, for glory, for faith, or at least I wanted to believe that. But after seeing that picture...... I don't know, I really don't know. These were the last words of the exchange between Tim and Lan Li, and then he turned to leave, his still straight shoulders with a heavy touch of vicissitudes.

Lan Li was a little confused, a little struggling, more numb and dazed, he didn't even have the energy to investigate and think, just continuing to hold on to this land had already consumed all his energy. Sometimes, he doesn't think about whether it will be easier if he dies like this, and if he dies like this, and he will be gone, and life will become a kind of torture, with no end in sight, no meaning, no hope, and even faith will begin to fall apart.

Alive, they just fight to stay alive. Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong, because maybe "living" doesn't mean anything in itself.

Rami could feel the subtle changes in Lan Li's mood, but he couldn't say why. Since he returned from injury, Lan Li has started to get more and more strange.

It's not that he affected the shooting, on the contrary, Lan Li's filming went very smoothly, and his wonderful performances often won the full house of the crew, not only David, but also several other directors who were filmed afterwards were also full of praise for Lan Li, but outside of filming, when there was no gag, he sat quietly on the side, and the silent and suppressed aura on Lan Li's body made the sun dim, but every time he asked him, he returned to normalcy and continued to joke with them idlely.

Several times, Rami wanted to talk to Lan Li, but Lan Li cleverly avoided it, did not give him a chance to continue to go deeper, and lightly brushed it off. This made Rami even more worried.

"Rookie, rookie. Rami called twice in a row, but there was no response, he had to pat Lan Li's shoulder, and then he saw Lan Li come back to his senses, his eyebrows gently raised up, indicating that he heard, Rami pointed in the direction where the director was, "They asked, are you ready?"

Lan Li nodded, made an "ok" gesture in the direction of the director, and then showed a shallow smile at Rammy, "What about you? Are you ready? This scene is not easy." ”

Rami collected the worries in her heart and pulled the corners of her mouth, "You are the protagonist of this scene, you are ready, I will be fine." ”

Now they are filming a major scene, the filming of "Pacific War" is nearing the end, and all the weight of the scene has accumulated on Lan Li.

Eugene's soul is transformed after a series of battles and events, not only cold, ruthless, but hard-hearted, filmed five days earlier, in which Eugene first goes mad and tries to kill a Japanese prisoner of war against them, being warned by the army, and then condescendingly kills the last enemy soldier who resisted stubbornly by way of execution - when the commander has ordered a ceasefire.

Today's scene is the pinnacle of all emotional outbursts.

After a long and arduous battle on the island of Okinawa, the U.S. military finally won, but there are still some remnants of small forces that are stubbornly resisting, so they need to explore slowly and eliminate all the last resistance forces. During their search, Eugene and Merrill hear the cry of a baby coming from a dilapidated house on the side of the road, and they cautiously walk inside, where they find the surviving baby of a local family, all of whom have died in the house.

Here, Eugene, who went mad and had a heart like stagnant water, was touched again. The final sublimation of the entire series of "War in the Pacific" depends on this.

Lan Li retracted his gaze and quietly looked at the corpses in front of him like a hill, he knew that these were extras, and he knew that those plasma and intestines were props. But at this point, they all entered the state of performance motionlessly, as if they were real corpses. This made Lan Li's mood settle down and quiet, just standing quietly in place, time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Death, he had seen so much death, he was so accustomed to it that he received a letter from home saying that Deacon was dead, but he was indifferent, just sat there blankly, thinking about what "Deacon is dead" meant, but did not find any answer, as if death no longer had any meaning, but was just a state. What is even more ironic is that his body and face are covered in blood, and even he himself cannot calculate how many lives have ended in his own hands, and he himself is a geist crawling out of the pile of corpses.

However, looking at the crying baby in front of him, he was a little stunned.

The connection between birth and death constitutes a reincarnation, the crisp and loud cry with a hint of anxiety, but without fear, just anxious, whining, crying, calling for someone to change his diaper, or calling for someone to fill his hungry stomach, so simple, so natural, so simple, surrounded by death, but pregnant with hope. The cycle of life is playing out right now.

"Let's shoot!" the director's voice came from the distant edge of the sky, as if God had commanded it.
