    The story of the Spanish Civil War. The production is still good, the costumes and props are more textured, and it should cost a lot of money. In general, it is a story of the powerlessness and struggle of intellectuals in the war. Franco went from being a general to a figure of power, and Franco's wife greatly loved and admired the writer Miguel de Unamuno, who planned to dissuade Franco from radicalizing the army. The writer thought he was really influential, but he was just a pawn for...

    The famous writer Miguel de Unamuno decided to publicly support a military uprising that is expected to clear the country's chaotic situation. He was immediately fired by the Republican government and ceased to serve as president of the University of...

    The highly completed Spanish Civil War stage historical drama background covers the political republic fans/royalists/red elements/junta and international Bolsheviks/Nazis/Masons and other forces influenced Franco is just a shameless African The little fox, nicknamed Paco, took great pains to portray José Millán-Astray. Miguel de Unamuno, as the totem of the old Salamanca University president, has a great symbolic meaning, so he directly denounced the far-right lance team in a national frenzy....

    In the troubled times, it is impossible for intellectuals to curl up in an ivory tower and be calm with "don't talk about national...

    How painful Unamuno is, from doubt to the opposite of doubt. It is not faith that makes the martyrs, but the martyrs make the faith; fantasy produces love, and love disillusioned. His existential skepticism of dualism finally gave him the courage to say no when everyone said it was good. The day he died should be sad, because he knew that there was an authoritarian Franco’s Spain behind him, and neither nationalism nor Stalinism was what he wanted. He thought for a long time, and felt that this...

    The film's two-line narrative, one line, how Franco chose the royalists during his coming to power and won the hearts of the people. In another line, the writer Urmuno went from pro-right to anti-right. The change of Urmuno's mentality requires historical foreshadowing, which I only learned when the family members of the last arrested person scolded him. It may not be a problem for people familiar with Spanish history, but lack of sufficient background knowledge is a problem. Because of this,...

    Changing flags and singing, prolonging chaos, intimidating political enemies, establishing labels, retracing religious extreme populism, and consolidating personal cult; five thousand military expenses, too late to apologize, dissidents and quarrels until sunset, strangers lying next to his deceased wife, we are right because the enemy is worse Reason is no match for slogans... Literary works may be difficult to resist the trend of global left-right divisions. Works that are slightly offensive...

    Thoughts on Watching "War Is Not Over"

    After watching the movie, I think it is necessary to have a look and feel and sort out my emotions. In the process of watching the movie, I have two main feelings. One is the powerless struggle of the protagonist, which is also the movie, which is told most of the time. As a posture, as a...

    I watch "The War Is Not Over"

    Tonight, I watched the 2019 Spanish movie "War Is Not Over". It was nominated for Best Picture at the 43rd Spanish Goya Awards.
