not just love

I think it's one of the few movies I've seen so far that is nearly three hours long in one go. It's also the richest movie I've ever seen.
1. Love
is the focus of this movie. This love seems to come a little too fast, but it can last so long and so thick. The scene where the male and female protagonists are making love always felt a little too hard at first, so hard that I still doubted: If there is no such intense sensuality, can love not be called love?
As the only member in the desert without a wife, as a man who is not used to love, and suddenly parachuting such a beautiful and talented woman, this kind of temptation may not be called love at first - it's like People who have been hungry for too long don't care whether the food is delicious or not - let alone it is so delicious and so tasteful.
I believe Emmashu loves Catherine, but does Catherine really love Emmashu? In the bath, he asked her, what do you love? tell me everything. She said I love my husband. At the bottom of the open-air theater, Catherine resolutely decided to choose her husband instead of the lover beside her who had a slight smile because of her. I couldn't believe how sublime Catherine's love for Emmaus was—even the simplest of giving up could not be given. But I still believe that she loves him, but it's not worth mentioning compared to Emma. When Emma Shu shouted to an official: A woman! my wife! Dying! When I was so shocked, I couldn't believe it myself.
In addition, there are many side-line loves, such as Hannah and Asan, and this kind of love is also a life-and-death relationship.
2. War
I didn't expect that international films in the 1990s seemed to like to make a fuss about World War II.
Regarding the war, the most impressive thing is that at the end of World War II, their carnival and their joy ended abruptly with the explosion of a landmine. Asan's serious attitude towards work really touched me, even if it was a job that could be fatal at any time. No wonder he can be a lieutenant.
3. Marriage
I believe Catherine and her husband are in love. Weeping on his shoulder since he was three years old. The wedding anniversary was painstakingly arranged, and when the plane crashed and perished together, he was still concerned about whether he was seriously injured. In fact, this marriage can be very beautiful, if Miss Catherine can control her heart and her body.
4. Friendship
But as far as Hannah and Jane's friendship is concerned, there are probably only less than 3 minutes in 162 minutes, and this friendship is also memorable: what kind of great friendship will make her run desperately Mine array?
5. Patriotism
Everyone is selfish and vulnerable in the face of war. But when the war broke out, the love for the motherland would expand to the point of surprise. "English Patient", two words are enough.
6. What the actor
has to say is Colin Firth! ! My king, how come you and Ralph are so far apart! ! Should I praise your acting skills or feel sorry for your temperament?
Ralph! ! You look so handsome when your hairline is not high and you have a small beard, why did you become like that in life and death reading! Also, the scarred face the makeup artist drew for you gave you the character of Voldemort, thank him.
Miss Juliette Binoche, you have a point, and it seems to me completely unnecessary.
