The film is shot in the middle of a meeting of reality and history. A member of the Royal Geographical Society, Emma, is shot down in flight and injured so that his face is burned and his memory is lost, and then a field nurse will He moved to a monastery to take care of him, and Amarsh slowly reminisced in his hospital bed. The pain of these memories eventually led him to choose euthanasia.
War hurts everyone's body or mind
There are four people in this dilapidated monastery: the patient Emma, the nurse Hannah, the bomb disposal sergeant Jeep, and the avenger Garner. This time the four were left with their own trauma, physical or psychological handicap as a result of World War II.
Amarsh gets burned in the face and loses a lover in the war; Hannah feels like everyone she touches will die; Jeep blames herself for killing her friend Hardy in a landmine; Garner loses the thumbs of both hands. In fact, the horror and ruthlessness of war have led to all the tragedies. In fact, even if it is not during the war, joys and sorrows will happen, but the degree will continue to deepen. Therefore, people are helpless and magnify their positions and responsibilities into sins. Everyone wants to get rid of themselves. The shackles of the soul, but the death of a loved one makes them feel guilty about letting go.
Their fates were intertwined, and they finally got rid of each other's hatred and shackles. Amarsh voluntarily chose euthanasia. Hannah fulfilled him in pain and read Catherine's suicide note aloud to him. After that, he passed away peacefully, and Hannah also understood Knowing that not everyone around her died because of her; Garner thought that Amarsh was a spy, and after knowing the truth, he put down his hatred; chose to leave for Jeep and set off far away. Everyone, alive or dead, learns to say goodbye to past grief in their own way.
The source of the disaster: is the map is actually greedy Catherine's suicide note reads "We are all dead, in that love that knows no race... Our country is real, not the borders on the map... I just want to walk in heaven with you, with our friends, to a paradise without a map."
At that time, the war was to divide the world, so the military map was particularly important. After Amarsh failed to ask the British for help, he refused to help because he was designated as a German. In desperation, he gave the map to the Germans and filled it with German gasoline. The plane then flew back to the desert to find Katherine. After the Germans got the map and started to invade Cairo, Ghana was also cut off by the soldiers.
A map where the places named by man himself are the source of all disasters, the greed and desire of the rulers at the expense of the lives and happiness of all. As the saying goes, "the strong eat the weak", in fact, sometimes we feel that human civilization is progressing or destroying due to competition?
Staying in office brings reflection and redemption
Emmashu asked Hannah, "Why do you insist on resuscitating me?" Hannah said, "Because I'm a nurse." This reminds me of the fact that Glass was dying after attacking the wild bear in "The Revenant", but the class leader still chose to ask someone to lead him forward in the ice and snow. Sometimes we often have to make choices that seem to have known results: Glass will die, Amarsh will not live long, and the vegetative patients may never wake up. Then, do we still need to spend materials and energy on them?
If it is said that the pain of relatives and friends cannot be given up because of emotions, then for the doctor-patient relationship between Hannah and Emma, the reason for not giving up is that Hannah is firm in her professional ethics, and indeed she will be afraid because she is a " Amarsh died, but her professional sense of responsibility overcame her inner fear, and she chose to stay alone in the monastery to take care of the sick in the chaos of the sick.
The more people are in the dark, the more they need to know how to find the light of reason. Although you don't know the meaning of sticking to them, in fact, this is the same as belief. You always have to find one thing to give you a reason to persist.
The choice of big love and small love should avoid the so-called "focusing on the overall situation"
In order to save Catherine, Amarsh gave the map to the German army, so that the German army could attack Cairo smoothly and quickly. When we say that people are faced with the choice between Xiaoai and Daai, what principles should they use to control them? I am afraid that either answer will be thankless. If you give up your lover for the sake of the country, then you will be grief-stricken all your life, and you will lose the right to choose happiness as a "human" level; if you give up the country for the sake of your lover, then you will lose the lives of thousands of people. , then the question goes back to whether the value of a person's life is related to the quantity? If you don't do that, you shouldn't be criticized.
This reminds me of the women's volleyball team that reached the fourth place in the Olympic Games in Brazil, and then began to praise the cultivator Lang Ping, but I remember being scolded as a foreign team in the last Olympic Games because a foreign team led by Lang Ping won the Chinese team. "White Eyed Wolf". When the ethnic complex is serious, it is a distorted pathological condition. Can people's contributions only be divided by nationality and region? Most of the coaches of the Chinese football team are foreign, but it is rare to see foreigners scolding them. Everyone gives their areas of expertise to the weak, and the overall level of improvement is not the purpose of the Olympic Games "higher, faster and stronger" ?
