It is the same theme of World War II, and it is completely different from Schindler's list, but it is equally touching. The three-hour film is long, and the front is slightly longer, starting from the male protagonist's enlistment in the back, the plot arrangement is compact, and the story is not wasted at all. Due to the long time line and large content of the film, the overall expression method draws on literature, and the two people are separated into two places. With the progress of the writing content, the picture uses a montage cut method to show the life of the two sides in a glimmering way. All events can be expressed in a few typical pictures to the audience's understanding, and no further details are needed. Therefore, this film is edited in this way because of the way of expression of the film, but it can extend the rich plot, and can also be adapted into a TV series. There are many handheld shooting parts in the film, but the less particular shooting angle and slightly deformed frame make the film closer to the real heart of the characters. Schindler's list is a direct display of injury, painful and hideous. But this film became lighter because of the death of the male protagonist, the pain became lighter, and the sacred brilliance of death became the holy light illuminating the noble soul. There are often scenes of the sky in the film, from the pure blue sky of the Alps to the gray sky above the high prison walls. The sky is the opposite side of the dirty world. It is the power of nature and the prison. The only palpable guide to hope. The melodious sound of the bell also echoes repeatedly in the film. The sound of the bell is pure and melodious, symbolizing the holiness of religion and the cleansing of people's hearts. fair? The use of church imagery is deconstructed. The church represents God's measurement and judgment of human kindness and justice, but the church here has become a tool for ideology and an authoritative preaching for ignoring the people. It is not difficult to recall the various crimes of the dark church in the Middle Ages. Is history moving forward as politicians say? Has the efforts of hundreds of years of democracy returned to the starting point of the feudal era? Instead of directly expressing the war, it expresses the living conditions of people on the edge of the war, and on the contrary, it can better express the depth of the damage caused by the war itself. The Alpine countryside was originally pure and untainted, like a pure land that was not disturbed by others, but the fascists in World War II extended their sacrifices to this innocent place, and shattered the originally happy family. The film reflects on war, on evil, what is the law, is the law fair, or is it reduced to a tool for ideological manipulation.
However, the reflection is biased towards a single and literary slogan, and the farmers' own ideological awareness may not reach such a high level. They have a vague understanding of the long-distance war, and the repeated questioning slows down the rhythm.
