昨日、「硫黄島からの手紙」という映画を見たんだ。
すごく感動しましたよ(ﾟｰÅ)
確かに戦闘で軍人の命がくだらなくなるけど...
それならじゃ
軍人たちは自分の生きるために戦うなのか？
いや、いつか家族に戻れるあの小さな希望のためだろう？
「Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes」
I got this quote from X-men. Weird, huh, because I don't look like I watch X-men at all. People can be deceived and have their vision limited to a tiny spectrum, but they'll still fiercely hold onto what they see as the truth. Is there no better way to determine what's real and what's not?
Most of the time, can we even see what's right and what's wrong in the first place?
I got that same feeling when I watched Iwojima. The way the soldiers accepted everything they were told to do, and believed everything that they were convinced into believing; just how strong and how weak are our minds actually?
With the prospect of death looming over them, to what extent are people going to go against morality just to survive?
Were they wrong to do so?
It's the same with us actually, we'd think of others as savages and tyrants, just because they are a threat to our existence. But how many of us stop and think: did they choose this out of their own free will?
How many of them have families waiting for them back at home, just like us, being literally used as hostages?
It's not like I'm asking people to blame themselves or anything, because desperation breeds irrational thinking, and that I understand. Nor am I in a position to comment anyway - I'm just another spoilt brat of the 21st century.
But one thing we shouldn't forget is that, for every soldier who gives his life in a war, they'll be yet another family who goes into mourning in this world.
Is there really no way humans can co-exist without conflicts?
