    One is the winner and the other is a prisoner, but both sides are so polite, tolerant and generous, and respect each other. The nobles salute and bow before slaughtering each other. Sorry, ordinary soldiers are sometimes patriotic and passionate, and sometimes they forget. The position of the home country is conscientious in fighting, but the women who fall in love with the enemy country are out of control. Compared with the confrontation between the two armies, in order to hack and kill each other for nothingness, the friendship, understanding and appreciation between people gradually ascends and becomes dominant. Such an intricate, obscure and polysemous anti-war is truly unique in the films before World War II, and ideologically surpasses countless contemporary films. Not to mention such a concise film language and scene scheduling, as well as the two best actors before the war, Jean Gaben and Strauhen. Look again, Renoir is still the best in my mind.
