A metaphor and a blessing

It's quite unexpected. It turns out that the film that was not made according to the textbook narrative theory is like this.
Avoiding the plastic smell of heroes, I got to know someone and got a glimpse of a period of social class relations in Britain before the First World War.

Personally, the most important thing is a little letter that his wife read to him at the end, about what it means to be alive.
It's worth memorizing.

Z city is not a city. The city has never been rendered too much in the film, but some small fragments are shown as indispensable things in the film.
Z City is a metaphor for the dream hidden in everyone's heart.
The pursuit and burial of Z City, the ordinary life lost during this period, was paid for the life of lover, friend, social status, son's life, and own life-all the necessary and precious things in life, and whether that dream is true Has it been achieved? Also always unknown.

So what?
so what?
Go to recite the little letter from his wife at the end of the credits.

The blessings were given by the Russian witch.
She said'this is your mission'.

I can clearly find my mission, clearly understand that it is above all life needs, and choose it without hesitation at every juncture where a choice needs to be made.
This is great happiness.

All the battles were not handled vigorously. The battlefield is in the ordinary, in the ordinary life, between every small choice.
I hope we can all find our own z city.
Losing in it is also a perfect ending.
