The film is a century-old romantic story made up of a series of white lies.
The story line of the film was once "distracted" to make people feel offensive, but it was not until the last shot that people realized that there was a proposition of human nature behind the seemingly changing theme.
The film is an epoch-making work with extremely rich imagination and sophisticated composition.
The film conveys the strong emotions that have always been in Ou Rong's works, as well as the bondage of friendship and the theme of women's independence. From these aspects, "Franz" is more like a classic drama, and very attractive. However, Ernst Liu Bieqian's film is mainly anti-war, adding elements of romantic love, while Ou Rong's film is just the opposite. This film is a bit more hypocritical than the original 1932 film ("broken lullaby"), and of course, a bit less moving.
