    Shot for shot a scene from Saving Private Ryan iirc. A Nazi and an American soldier fight to the death with knives. Another American freezes up, and as the Nazi is walking away they just look at each other but for whatever reason the Nazi walks past. It's been centuries since I saw it but I remember it being a pretty powerful, idk, "look how fucked up this is that we're murdering each other and it really isn't even for anything. We could have just not done this." Like, you step back from the war, from all the great conflicts, from capitalism and fascism, from all the greed and tyranny, and, what you've got is two eighteen year old boys sticking knives in each other in a bombed out attic in france for no goddamn reason that has anything to do with either of them.

    We gotta save the Nazis, too. Because they were kids once. No one just becomes a Nazi. We gotta save those kids, even if it's too late to save the people they became.
