The 2003 film "Cold Mountain" allowed fans all over the world to see the sturdy side of Nicole Kidman, a glamorous beauty. After a lapse of 5 years, she took on the film again, which required her to show a strong personality. Like "Cold Mountain", the background of this time is still the war years, but it has changed from the American Civil War to World War II, and the location has also been changed from the northern frontier of the United States to her own hometown of Australia. And the most important thing to watch in the film is the eternal theme - love, love in the midst of war, the man who made Nicole worry about also changed, Jude Law fell in the "Cold Mountain" ice and snow, and the other was the same The macho from Australia continued to write a steadfast love story with Nicole in the troubled times. He is Wolverine - Hugh Jackman.

It can also be seen from this movie how much influence World War II had, and how abominable little Japan was. Far away from the earth, Australia on the other side was not able to escape this largest war in human history. Invasion, the calm and beautiful mainland of Australia has also been poisoned by the Japanese devils.

The story still takes place on a farm. The war has made Nicole, who came to Australia from the UK to inherit the farm, hard all the way, and along the way, she and Hugh Jackman played the rude shepherd. Although the beginning of emotion was very bumpy along the way, the director also fully demonstrated the magnificent scenery of the Australian mainland through this journey. While narrating a love story, it also shows the disaster the war has brought to individuals, families and even the entire country. In front of the ruthless invaders, all compromises can only condone their arrogance. Only resistance can solve the problem. You can't be polite to the little Japan that treats dog days.

While appreciating this beautiful love story, think about the current situation. Little Japan, a vicious dog raised by the Americans, has once again barked its teeth at us. If we cannot give a head-on attack at this time, it will surely repeat the 19th century China. Clan tragedy. I really don't understand why the current state leaders are so afraid, have they really reached the point where they don't even have the courage to "bright sword"?
