      "The Oath of Youth": A beautiful and sentimental poem

      Seeing the big from the small, there are many themes that focus on the cruelty of war by small characters. If it weren't for the delicate depiction of emotional development in "The Oath of Youth", and highlighting the splendor and beauty of youth, this is just an ordinary war film. But it really touched me. I have watched movies like "Furious" that face war directly, and movies like "Kumquat" and "Cold Mountain" that highlight the devastating war through the transformation of people and the...

      They walked into the poppy flower sea and never came back|The story of the movie "The Oath of Youth" and the First World War

      The film "Testament of Youth" filmed by BBC Films in 2014 is adapted from the autobiography of the same name written by the female writer Vera Brittain in 1933. With very restrained and beautiful brushwork, it describes the extremely tragic war 100 years ago— -The First World War, and countless young people who died here.



      The story began in the spring of 1914, when everything was still...

      Poor Vera

      I haven't read the original work, based on the small angle of the movie itself.
          When Victor uttered this sentence when revisiting it yesterday, it was when the lightning was raging outside the window.
          The hands that never left scars, because the cut was deep, the scars settled into brown, and the black was white, the surface slowly became smooth, and darkened, but it was painful to the teeth.
          At that time, for her, even before the clothes were cleaned, she jumped into...

      Movie Recommendation Testament of Youth

      The testament of youth tells about a British woman who has experienced World War I, before, during and after the war.



      The protagonist of the story, Vera Britain, met his brother's friend Roland before the war, and the two wrote poetry with each other. With Roland's encouragement and his younger brother's fight from his family, Vera was admitted to Oxford University through self-study.

      At the beginning of Vera and Roland's youth love dream,...

      A war literary film that cannot be more beautiful

      Everything in this movie is very beautiful. Especially the picture is so beautiful. In addition, the cruel description of the war is in place. The war broke up lovers, took away relatives and friends, and caused families to endure unimaginable pain. Yin and Yang are separated, life is separated, and human life is so fragile and vulnerable.

      Alicia Vikander's acting skills are very superb. From the beginning of the characterization of the characters, to gradually change due to the war,...

      129 minutes can't really be reduced to 90 minutes. If you are so unwilling to take every detail and picture, it is more suitable to use the form of a tertiary British drama. As a movie, a pure narrative without ups and downs is like a face from the beginning to the end of the heroine. Wouldn’t it be a waste of the audience’s sense of...

    Movie quotes

    • Roland Leighton: Down the long white road we walked together. Down between the grey hills and the heather. You seemed all brown and soft, just like linnet. Your errant hair had shadowed sunbeams in it. And there shone all April in your eyes.

    • Vera Brittain: Please don't keep things back from me, Roland, with an idea of sparing my feelings. I shall never be afraid to confront the real. The imagined holds far greater terror for me.

    • Edward Brittain: I'm so glad you were near and saw him so nearly at the end. We share a memory of both of them, dear Vera, that is worth all the rest of the world, and the sun of that memory never sets. And you know that I love you, that I would do anything in the world in my power should you ask it, and that I am your servant as well as your brother.
