I always feel that writers advocate human nature, and Kipling's deep loyalty to the king makes it difficult for me to understand....

Facts have proved that the British are only good at making literary films. The first half of the story is good from the son's joining the army to the battle. But the family's reaction after the son's death was really contrived, giving people a very unnatural...

After hearing the news of their son's death, the family's mourning expressions alternate with Jack fumbling through his glasses... I really like the poem Not This Tide that Kipling reads at the...

This is just an ordinary war-torn family. The film is light, and the last 30 minutes are uncomfortable. A son who wants to prove that he has left the family, a father who wants his son to realize his ideals. One is too simple and the other is too idealistic. It is a pity that war is not a child's play, and there is always a price to pay. It would be too cruel to say that it was the father who killed the son, and it cannot simply be said that it was the deception of the fathers. Love...

It is often heard that children of British aristocracy have a higher mortality rate than commoners, because they value responsibility and honor far above life. This film is an interpretation of this...

If it was China, there would definitely not be such a film
After watching this film, I kept thinking about a question: if this happened in China, there would be no such film.
In fact, this question first appeared when the line appeared in the film: Is this sacrifice honorable? Until the end, the entire Kipling family fell into endless grief, and the old... -

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders...

[last lines]
Rudyard Kipling: Have you news of my boy Jack?/ Not this tide./ When d'you think that he'll come back?/ Not with this wind blowing, and this tide./ Has any one else had word of him?/ Not this tide./ For what is sunk will hardly swim, Not with this wind blowing, and this tide./ Oh, dear, what comfort can I find?/ None this tide,/ Nor any tide,/ Except he did not shame his kind-/ Not even with that wind blowing, and that tide./ Then hold your head up all the more,/ This tide,/ And every tide;/ Because he was the son you bore,/ And gave to that wind blowing and that tide!

Rudyard Kipling: [on why the British Empire must fight] You see, we have built up a family - a family of nations - and it must be protected. That is why Jack must fight! To protect the family!
Elsie Kipling: [Totally not buying it] You're protecting the wrong family, father.
