      The idyllic scenery of the Russian border is really beautiful, pure original state

      There is no conflict and suspense, it is entirely dependent on the growth and fate of the characters. After a major chaos, the characters disappear and purify.

      The first dance between Andrei and Natasha was amazing. The details were switched and the flashbacks were beautiful.

      Pierre worshipped Napoleon when he appeared, and at the end he wanted to assassinate him.

      This character has grown up beautifully.

      Started with nothing, illegitimate children, drunken life, naked...

      In the face of war, people are nothing but flesh and blood

      A few episodes that moved me: I was in a battlefield where artillery fire was roaring and blood was flying. The leg that was sawed off. The day before, Andrew, who was still arguing with his friends, said that when he saw his rival, he would definitely fight with him, and Andrew extended his hand to the other party. Pierre, who had been pampered since childhood, was captured by the French army and starved and froze for several months. with "my friend, my friend.."

      human nature

      If there are no bad people in this world, good people can be foolishly good people.

      Because there are bad people, and they want to take advantage of others, especially those who easily trust them, that is, those silly good people, so good people should deal with everyone with wisdom.

      Don't let yourself be led by bad people in order to take care of others' face, because they will rationalize their actions to achieve evil's ugly purpose.

      Everyone, no matter how strong, how...

      only love

      The BBC's mini-series of pictures is beautiful and cute. It's cool to watch. It's a bit similar to our parents. Let's dig a little deeper. Compared with you and me who love to love, he is a little too childish even under the shadow of war, but it is understandable. The adaptation is more moving, but the highlight is different. Love is really complicated. Pierre finally Being able to realize the true meaning of life and the meaning of searching from top to bottom is also incredible. Well,...

      look at the scene

      This year, the BBC is really addicted to the remake.
      Personally, I think this casting is a bit of a failure.
      I don’t understand how Lily James became popular. I

      have never been very keen on Soviet and Russian culture
      . I just blame my literary accomplishment for not reaching that level . To
      put it bluntly, I felt bored
      when I read the original book. It's

      still awkward to watch a group of British people play Russian dramas intermittently. The
      key...

      The scenery is beautiful, the mood is still British, the feelings of the fighting nation should be more serious and dignified, and many emotional changes are not enough. It seems reasonable and flimsy to experience life and death in war and finally end up in a fulfilled love life. The narration is as long as there is life, there is happiness, so optimistic. The heroine doesn't have the aura she should...

      Anna Pavlovna Scherer: But mon cher ami, how can you be so calm? This... this monster, Bonaparte - he's crossed into Austria now and... who's to say that Russia won't be next.

    • [last lines]

      Pierre Bezukhov: [voice-over] They say sufferings are misfortunes. But if I was asked, would I stay as I was before I was taken prisoner, or go through it all again? I would say for God's sake, let me be a prisoner again.

      Pierre Bezukhov: Come, let's sit and eat and give thanks for our good fortune.

      Pierre Bezukhov: [voice-over continued] When our lives are knocked off course, we imagine everything in them is lost. But it is only the start of something new and good. As long as there is life, there is happiness. There is a great deal... a great deal still to come.
