The four who went far away

I didn't understand some plots, so I still need to use novels to clarify the clues.

Witte dared to challenge, question authority, love literature, and have unique ideas. At the beginning of the 20th century, she did what I wanted to do but dared not do a hundred years later, dared to fight for it, and dared to say no. From the perspective of the movie, I think Witte should have fallen in love with Roland since Roland supported her in writing. Besides, Roland is talented and beautiful, but why does Roland and Witte have intermittent contact? When Witte was admitted to Oxford, he didn’t seem to be surprised, and he didn’t tell Witte when he came back from the battlefield, and he was even a little angry with Witte. I didn’t understand these. I don’t deny that he likes Witte, but I’m not sure. He loved Werther in the early days. And victor? Victor jumped out of the lake for fear that a big mouse would scare Witte; and pretended that he had a girlfriend to make Witte feel at ease; after becoming blind, he did not want to drag Witte, and rejected Witte’s marriage proposal. Even I think he might have given up participating in the war. Maybe He wants to accompany Werther. Under the influence and pressure of that kind of public opinion, how many patriots do not want to go to the battlefield? Edward is really a model brother. He persuaded his father to buy a piano, let his sister go to school, and act as his sister's best friend.

This drama is really British style, so that I pay more attention to their costumes than to the cruelty of war.

Testament of Youth quotes

  • Edward Brittain: I'm so glad you were near and saw him so nearly at the end. We share a memory of both of them, dear Vera, that is worth all the rest of the world, and the sun of that memory never sets. And you know that I love you, that I would do anything in the world in my power should you ask it, and that I am your servant as well as your brother.

  • Winifred Holtby: All of us are surrounded by ghosts. Now we need to learn how to live with them.
