I didn't expect too much before watching. But after watching it carefully, I realized that this is precisely the best World War II movie ever made.
What this film reflects may be the true portrayal of World War II... a bleak and sad world with cold colors that lie in ambush everywhere. Just like the vast and monotonous desert in the film, in this era, it's like everyone is imprisoned in the desert, confused and unable to find the direction and don't know where is the real support.
In this era, there is no real right or wrong, only an instinctive choice in fate. You can choose to believe in hope, you can choose to believe in love, you can choose to believe in the promise of your lover, you can choose between husband and wife and love. There is no real winner... There is only constant loss and constant remorse in the efforts to go to different destinations, and finally at the last moment of life, calmly and fearlessly let go of everything.
"My darling, I've been waiting for you. How long is a day or a week in the dark? The fire is out, I'm so cold I should have dragged myself outside, but the sun is out. I'm afraid to put the light Wasted on pictures and writing these words. We will die, we will die! We will die full of the love that our lovers and our people have tasted, take our lodging bodies, and finally die as cold as a glacier... …the fear deep inside, like this broken cave. I want it all to be imprinted on me. We are the real kingdom, not a world painted on a map with the names of the powerful, I Knowing you'll come and take me to the House of Winds, that's what I've longed for, with you and my friends. Wander through it, an earth without a map. The lights are out, and I leave my last words in the dark ."
The male protagonist's eyes are cheap and dim, and gradually lose consciousness... In the end, it is as cold as a glacier...
