Vow of youth

I always feel that this drama lacks something, it is the lack of a clear emotional line and the flaws of the male protagonist. I feel that the male protagonist does not particularly love the female lead, and the image of the male lead at the beginning is not bold and courageous. I don't know why he suddenly appeared so brave and good at performance when the war broke out. And when I see my beloved girl, I am afraid. The performance when returning from the battlefield, I couldn't meet the first one who ran out to accept this task when facing the wire connection. In short, it's a bit abrupt, and it may be too much expectation for the biography of the original book, so there is too much picky about this film. The beauty of regret, the depth of love after suffering, war not only brings pain, but also a touchstone, but also a wake-up call for the world to cherish the beauty of the moment.

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.
