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...

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...

World War I glory
(2009.11.12) Everyone has their dreams. There are very few who can open their minds and move forward boldly. It may be the closure of reality, or it may be the difference of ideology between people. In the age of raging wars, it is a choice whether to live in a comfortable nest at the rear, or to...

[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.
