Buried under the peony is not the corporal's stump but the beauty of human nature

On the surface, a distressed corporal stirred up the girls' school, each with his own thoughts. What I see is the lack of security of ordinary people in the war-torn era, which has become cruel and cold-blooded over time. You can give up the ability to love in order to survive. I feel sorry for the young schoolgirls. What I learned from Christian teachers in cold times is not love, and fear is with them all their lives. Also pity the corporal, the survival record on the battlefield made him used to win the life by chance. Due to cause and effect, his cleverness killed him. He didn't expect that the steel cannon bullets on the front line did not take his life, but he died in the pollution-free girls' school in the rear of the war. The metaphor in the film is just right, such as the corporal tidying up the garden and sitting in the yard in the afternoon, this is a quiet spider's web, just like the corporal quietly waiting for them to come forward to chat up in the yard, one by one women throw themselves into the net. .

What I find most intriguing about the film is the evolving emotional context of each individual. I haven't been in close contact with a man for a long time, and I'm so physically motivated that I want to get it, and even if I don't get it, it will be destroyed in revenge.

That’s why I concluded that the same thing that kills people as war is human nature. If people in the world don’t love, tolerate, and fulfill themselves, even in the era of peace, the world is full of murderous intentions and rotten breath. Believe in Christ and God can’t save them. you.

    Edwina: That wasn't very brave of you to run.

    John McBurney: Maybe not. But, it was smart, I think.

    Edwina: Because you're alive?

    John McBurney: And now I've met you.

  • Martha Farnsworth: I hope the girls weren't telling stories.

    John McBurney: What do you care what they say about you?

    Martha Farnsworth: I don't. I didn't want you to get the wrong impression.

    John McBurney: Then, you do care what I think about you?

    Martha Farnsworth: You're a stranger here. That's all.
