Chapter 356: The War Around You
On the screen, the protagonist's family is in the process of escaping.
Due to too many enemies and too many weapons, the protagonist's mother is killed, his father is captured, and only the three siblings escape. The protagonist is followed by other teenagers and girls in the town, who also escape.
Because they are children and don't get a lot of attention.
The enemy took over the town's police station, arrested the mayor who lived in the town, and ordered the mayor to call out to them to surrender immediately. As the parents of these teenagers and girls, they have a strong persuasive power, and some of them are persuaded to be swayed and want to run out of the city and surrender.
At this time, the protagonist played by Alex naturally played a role and stabilized the morale of the army. But soon there was a scene that made it difficult for them to choose.
The enemy points a gun at the protagonist's father and asks him to make the children surrender.
This father was the sheriff of the town, and if he surrendered, he could indeed help the Soviets and Vietnamese to rule the area more firmly. He stood in the open space and said to the children hiding in the jungle, "If you are here, if you can hear me, then listen......"
"The situation is tense and people are faced with many difficult choices. Some people choose to surrender, some people choose to resist, and I think that's all right, but I want you to know that I love you! ”
When they saw this, people already vaguely knew what was going to happen, and some female viewers had already covered their eyes with their hands, not daring to continue looking.
Anderson was also a little nervous. He wondered, "Is the protagonist's father going to be killed?" Killed in front of your own children! ”
Sure enough, the protagonist's father continues, "What I'm going to ask you to do next may be difficult, but I want the kids to do what I will!" ”
He paused and continued, "I ask you guys to go and stand and stop these bastards......"
Before he finished speaking, "Bang! With a bang, the protagonist's father was shot in the head. The person who killed him was none other than the villain Captain Li played by Shi Jian!
The three siblings of the protagonists who saw this scene with their own eyes were so excited that they wanted to jump out of their hiding places. Fortunately, in the end, the protagonist resisted the sadness in his heart. also forced his younger siblings down without revealing their position.
"I'm going to fight!" Alex said to the people around him, "It's easy for me because I'm used to it!" But for you it is a much more difficult choice. Surrender is simple. Just cover your ears. Eyes blocked. You can turn a blind eye to what is happening around you! ”
"Listen, I'm not going to force you. Because war is ugly, cruel, and hard! But. When you fight in your own backyard, for your family, you feel a little less pain, a little more meaning, and a little more meaning in life! ”
"For them, it's somewhere else, but for us, it's home!"
Encouraged by the protagonist, most of them stayed, with only one or two escaping. Everyone made their own choices, and no one blamed those who fled, but it made their situation more difficult and passive. They had to move their hiding places at all times, always on the lookout for movement around them.
"Obviously, you don't have a chance of going head-to-head with them, but we are the sparks, the lights in the night. A spark can start a prairie fire, so the first thing we have to do is to learn to cooperate, and we must twist everyone's strength into one force! ”
Led by the protagonist, they quickly learn the essence of guerrilla warfare. First sheltered in the surrounding woods, bushes, and then quickly organized a partisan detachment. Inspired by their middle school mascot, they call themselves "Wolverine" and struggle with volunteers in the city to band together and grow.
The fighting is getting fiercer, and more and more people are dying.
After they occupied this place, the Soviets handed it over to the Vietnamese to rule, and the person who managed them happened to be Captain Lai, who was under a lot of pressure from above because the guerrillas led by the protagonist caused them great damage.
Captain Li vowed to use any means to catch the protagonists.
All kinds of burning, killing and looting take place in cities and towns, just like in wartime, and the people in the occupied areas have no human rights to speak of. In order to force them out, Captain Li resorted to the most brutal means of killing all suspicious elements, and did not hesitate to attack those who he believed had contact with the guerrillas.
Even in peacetime, the Vietnamese soldiers would not be merciful to the Americans, and they took the crimes committed by the Americans on Vietnamese soil and redid them to the Americans!
Seeing such a situation, many Americans can't stand it, and some female viewers even quit halfway.
Until now, the audience still has no hope of victory for the protagonist, and the enemy seems to be strong all the time, and there is no possibility of being repulsed. Anderson, who was sitting in the audience, had been numbed by the film, and at first he thought that the American army would quickly drive the enemy out of the city.
However, judging from the various details in the movie, the rule of the Soviets and the Vietnamese is becoming more and more consolidated, and the living space of the guerrillas led by the protagonist is getting smaller and smaller, and sacrifices begin to appear.
Gradually, people understood that this was another "Vietnam battlefield"! It is almost impossible to defeat the enemy, and only by persevering in resistance can it be possible to achieve the final victory.
But until then, the price will be great!
Just when the audience loses confidence and thinks that Alex's film is a tragedy, and everyone guesses that the protagonist will end the movie by dying in an operation, the turning point finally appears!
They inadvertently captured a strange contingent of people claiming to be soldiers of the New American Republic, the remnants of the defeated American army and government. According to the leader of this team, the Americans did not give up resistance and continued to fight back.
"You mean. Has the new U.S. government retreated to Canada and Gasvegas? The protagonist asks.
"Yes, but we're always ready to come back with a counterattack!"
"And how many troops and weapons do you have?" The protagonist continues to ask, he thinks for a moment and says, "What about nuclear weapons?" Our government should have nuclear weapons, right? ”
The members of the team looked at each other, and finally their leader told the protagonist the truth, it turned out that the U.S. government was hastily attacked, found that the nuclear weapons could not be launched, and lost control of the nuclear weapons in the process of evacuation. Now they're back to regain control of nuclear weapons that they had lost.
"That's a nuclear code box with a backup in a secret military base in Nevada! That's exactly what we wanted to do this time to get to that secret military base and get that crate from inside. In this way, the US government has once again mastered the power of nuclear weapons! ”
"Did you get the box?"
"Yes. We've got the box! I'm heading back, I'm attacked by the enemy, I've lost a lot of people, and I'm trapped here! ”
The other man paused. continued: "Still. You also know the way. In this case, it is difficult to traverse the enemy's controlled area and it is impossible to send the crate back. ”
The protagonist only then learns about the road. It turned out that the opponent wanted the "Wolverine" guerrillas to take the initiative to attack, attract the enemy's attention, and create a gap for these people to pass through the enemy's defense.
There was a lot of controversy in their ranks, and some people believed that these unidentified people were sent by the enemy, and deliberately led them into a trap in order to solve the "Wolverine" guerrillas once and for all. Others believe that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if it is missed, the United States will never be able to turn around.
The fierce arguments caused a great deal of contradiction, and almost split the partisan group.
At the end of the day, everyone looked at Alex and wanted him to make the final decision. They leave judgment to the protagonist and let him decide the future of this team, and even the future of the entire United States.
When they saw this, all the audience were silent, and they wondered what decisions they would make if they were the protagonists and were in the position of the protagonists.
One possibility is a trap, and the other possibility is the hope of the United States!
Is anyone willing to trade their lives for an illusory hope? You must know that whether it is a trap or not, once you take the initiative to attract the attention of the enemy, it is almost like looking for death.
At the end of the day, the protagonist decides to split his troops into two ways, and those who are willing to stay and continue the fight will join him to attract the attention of the enemy. Those who think this is a trap follow that team, and if they find out that they have been deceived, these people can also avenge the sacrifice. If it's not a scam, it can help the team send back the nuclear code box.
In a tragic atmosphere, the protagonist is separated from his younger siblings, and he has to lead a death squad to the city to attract the attention of the enemy.
He did not allow his younger siblings to follow him to death, but left the hope of survival to them.
The life and death of the protagonist is not answered in the film, but left to the audience to choose. In the following shots, people see the panic after the enemy is attacked, the resistance of the oppressed American people, and the protagonist's younger siblings embarking on a new path.
After the movie ended, not a single audience member got up and left. One reason is that they are still thinking about the meaning of the film and the life and death of the protagonist. Another reason is because they all know that Alex likes to place easter eggs at the end of the film. They want to see the easter eggs of this movie, hoping to get a little inspiration from the easter eggs.
However, the screen went dark and didn't light up for more than ten seconds.
This made many viewers feel a little uneasy, is this the ending? The protagonist is not a servant, whether the most one is a trap or not, the US government still has not risen up! Isn't there a hint at all, and there's no possibility of continuing to make a sequel?
Just when the audience was losing hope in their hearts, suddenly a woman's voice sounded: "Who is this?" ”
"This is our hero!"
The light gradually brightened, and people saw a room full of science fiction, as if it was a research institute and as if it were a hospital. Everywhere there are glass jars filled with culture fluids, in which various organisms or human bodies float.
"Heroes?"
"Yes, without him, there would be no new America! You've probably heard of the legend of the wolf-filled guerrillas, right? ”
"Huh? It turned out to be him? But isn't he dead? ”
"If he dies, you won't see him here anymore! Actually, he's missing, to be exact! ”
"Where did they find it?"
"Under the ruins of the building, it was already a vegetative state. Thankfully, our decade of war has allowed medical technology to develop rapidly, and he will soon be able to regain consciousness and fight for people again! ”
The originally somewhat blurry picture becomes clearer and clearer, and at this point the audience understands that they are looking at the surrounding scenery through the eyes of the protagonist.
The protagonist is sober!
Immediately after, the easter eggs are gone, and the movie is really over! However, the last clip left a deep impression on the audience. That is, the protagonist is not dead, and the second is that the United States has stood up again and has been reborn in the flames of war. Also, the war is still going on and not over. (To be continued......)
