power of hope

I thought again and again that Manek must have sacrificed, but I didn't expect the heroine's persistence to let me see the reunion ending. The damage caused by the war is devastating, and people don't even dare to hold on to hope. The heroine is optimistic and firm, and she always believes in it. Therefore, when the news of Manek's death was repeatedly shown, she did not give up or cry. She hinted again and again to give herself strength: "If I get to the corner before the car, Manek will come back alive", "If I count to seven and the train doesn't go into the tunnel or the flight attendant doesn't come in, Manek I won't come back." She is using her inner will to challenge reality.

If the film is only to express the grief caused by the war, then, at the end of the story, Manek should be sacrifice. But in the cruelty of war, the film also reminds us that no matter how painful and difficult it is, we cannot give up. Even if the heroine is crippled, she is limping to challenge reality, carrying hope, this is the positive energy conveyed by the film, as long as there is hope, even a little bit, it can guide us in the vast How to drive in the endless deep sea.

When the female prisoner who killed the officer was executed in the film, the scene could not be said to be like killing an animal, but more like cutting a radish.
