This film is not about the love it tells, but about the hatred it is filming. After the end of World War I, the deep-seated mutual hatred between France and Germany made it absolutely impossible for Adrian and Anna to get together. No matter whether they choose to live in Germany or France, the film also No third option is provided, which shows that their love is far from that step, not to mention that they each have parents who cannot give up.

There are two clues in the film: the bright line and the dark line. The bright line is Anna's feelings for Adrian, and the dark line is Adrian's atonement for Franz. There was no atonement on the battlefield, but when he met a mama boy like Adrian, Fragile and artistic, this story happened; according to his original intention, he wanted to get the forgiveness of Franz's whole family. Anna knew that it was impossible, so she sacrificed herself, lied to both Adrian and her in-laws, and took all the burden alone. Sad, just don't know: how long can this play last? Or is it really necessary for her to hide the truth from her in-laws and make Adrian mistakenly think that she is innocent? Moreover, she clearly knew that Adrian's problem was necessary for his mother to protect their mother and son, but didn't she know at all? If these answers are all "yes", then the story is Anna's one-sided love for Adrian, and this love is very strange, her attitude towards Adrian would be impossible if it wasn't for her mother's protection of her son, this is coming from afar He took away his fiancé's son, so the film was well done. The interaction between the two languages ​​and the poetry, music, and art of the two countries was very skillful, but the credibility of the story was not necessarily high.

    Maybe you will be like me. Until the end of the film, you were surprised that the director didn't insert any surprising passages; but in retrospect, it makes sense to do so, because the whole story of the film is supposed to be the simplest and purest. Things: love. Looking at the emotional ups and downs and helplessness between the two protagonists, you and me, one can't help but sigh: perhaps the most colorful things in this world are only memories and lies.

    Ou Rong's type is not just a kind of LGBTQ human love, let alone that this is not a typical Ou Rong. Delicate, sincere, and twists and turns, this is a typical Ou Rong. But too slow, not deep enough, and stuck to a certain tone, this is really not the best Ou Rong. Several renderings from black and white to color light up the emotional level. The old theme of war and love, this film provides a nostalgic and careful interpretation.
