The Forgotten Battle is a war film directed by Mathieus van Heingen Jr. and starring Theo Bucklem-Biggs, Tom Felton, Gies Blom, Susan Reddell, Scott Reid, and others. There are two small plots in the film that are memorable and easy to generate some thoughts.
The film is set during World War II, when a hot-blooded Dutch youth holds a camera to photograph the defeated German soldiers who are retreating from the front line, and are discovered by German officers. The officer stepped forward and grabbed his camera and smashed it on the spot. The hot-blooded youth couldn't bear it any longer, picked up a stone and smashed it into the car that was coming towards this side. The stone went through the windshield of the car and hit the driver. The driver caught off guard, causing the car to spiral out of control and killing three young German soldiers. By the time the German soldiers reacted, the hot-blooded youth was already on his way to escape, although he escaped through the rain of bullets and bullets, and let his father and sister defend themselves, but in the end they could not escape the Pursuit of the Germans and were shot. The German officer said to the family of the hot-blooded youth: "My three soldiers are now lying in the cemetery, and they are also young people. From this plot, it is seen that if it were not for the war, the Dutch youth and the German youth would not have been on fire and there would have been no tragic events. But the war took place, and it was a German fascist war, and the dutch-blooded youth openly photographed the retreating German troops, leaving the German officers with no light on their faces. But the German officer did not expect to lose three soldiers in order to drop a camera, and in order to get justice for the three soldiers, he could only lead people to search day and night, capture the Dutch youth, and execute them. So, what makes them so crazy, is it just revenge? Of course not, but the war, especially the unjust war waged by the fascists, caused this tragedy that should not have happened, and four people died. If it weren't for the war, they might have lived and worked at home and might have been good friends, but because of the war, they were inseparable. It is war that destroys humanity, makes people bloodthirsty, becomes machines. This plot can be summarized as a tragedy caused by a camera, but it is incomparably profound, and it also highlights the extinction of human nature and the horror of ideological brainwashing.
At the end of the film, a Dutch woman fights against Germany and is arrested by the Germans during the smuggling process with her companions. Her female companion was sent to the boat by her and escaped. When the German devils retreated, a German officer wanted to shoot her, and the Dutch German soldier in charge of the guard could not see it anymore, so he rushed in with a military stab and stabbed the German officer with a knife, but was shot in the abdomen by the German officer. Even so, he had to fight the dying German officers and save his female compatriots. He was so badly injured that he staggered to sit on a stool outside the door, unable to move. The rescued woman came out, undressed him, examined the wound, blocked the bleeding wound with a clump of cloth, and helped him press it. When the British soldiers called, the wounded Dutch German soldier was dead, and the Dutch woman had to follow the British army. Although the Dutch German soldier was influenced by Nazi ideas, he was Dutch after all, watching the retreating German officers want to shoot their compatriots, the pity in human nature played a role, patriotic enthusiasm was high, he could not bear it, and he stabbed the German officer to death with only one stab, but he also suffered a fatal blow. He exchanged his sacrifice for the freedom of his female compatriots, and at the same time made some contributions to his motherland. But he did not leave a name, and even the rescued woman did not know what his name was, whether he was his own compatriot, only that he was a German soldier. The Dutch German soldiers who sacrificed showed the brilliance of humanity and the feats of heroic sacrifice. And when he stepped forward, he did not think about it at all, did not hesitate, was washing his face, shaving his beard, and when he saw that the German officer was going to shoot and kill his female compatriots, he rushed up. It seems that one side still raises one side of the water and soil, and it is not close to the hometown. His identification with the motherland and his identification with his hometown made him bravely dedicate himself regardless of his life.
The two plots embody the cruelty of the war and the logic of the ideological brainwashing behind the war, but they also embody the brilliance of human nature, especially the second plot, which makes people think deeply and will think of more stories of heroic dedication in one breath, and it is gratifying that those people did not leave any names...
