As a classic of anti-war movies, "The Secret Game" is very special. The film does not face the war directly. It only explains the background of the "World War II" in the first five or six minutes. The rest of the space is like a country-style painting, as simple as a nuanced description of the game of two children, mixed with the families of two poor neighbors. The grudges, the soothing music, and the beautiful pictures make people almost forget the war. But in such trivial daily life, as children’s games deepen, the film presents many deep-seated human issues such as wars, religious beliefs, childhood emotions, lies and trust. The shadow of war is omnipresent and integrated with the story. Excellent screenwriting art and profound ideological connotation have created an outstanding black and white film

The children gave the cross to the animal. "The cockroach can only be buried when it is dead. Give it a cross." This satirizes the war. Children play in the world of the cross. They don’t fear death and don’t care about morality, because they are pure and unconscious; while the adult world believes in the cross and is morally conscious but struggling with each other. It’s so distinctive. Now they can finally understand this. The contrast is very subtle.
