Albert had to flee, Edward had to die

The soldiers who were blown up, the soldiers buried alive in the sand, the soldiers who were blown to pieces... And these soldiers were discussing that the war was coming to an end a few minutes ago, and the enemy on the opposite side was unwilling to open fire.

Some of them are painting pictures for their comrades in arms, some are writing letters to their lovers, and everyone is dreaming of a good life after the war. At this time, the companion died, the war started, and the red eye was killed. In an instant, many people became cannon fodder.

Bombs are flying everywhere, corpses, stumps, and blood are flying everywhere. The director uses real and terrifying footage to break the rare peace and tear the dream of soldiers to shreds.

From the beginning, the object of revenge is Lieutenant Pradel, whose lust for profit caused many people to sacrifice in vain.

The further back in the story, the more obscure and huge the object of revenge is, "the person holding the dagger is wounded by the dagger", and the avengers are also submerged in the end.

Edward lost half of his face and lived like a ghost. He was addicted to morphine and missed his mother's tender love, but loved him and admired his mother's death. His father was indifferent, speechless, and did not understand him. He treated him like a dictator. He rebelled against his father to join the army, and eventually lost half of his face and could only live under a mask. His father was not a warm place for him.

What supported Edward's survival was his crazy revenge plan, and revenge gave him strong creativity. Those thirty-eight exquisite masks were Edward's elegy.

Edward wants revenge, he doesn't care anymore, he also goes to make a fortune in war, to make money from dead comrades.

But he also clearly knew which people were reactionary to the war, and at the same time those people were making money from dead people and war. The absurd scene of Edward's bash at the club satirizes the French dignitaries enough.

There are two lines of revenge, one is revenge on the lieutenant, and the other is revenge on the entire society, on the upper classes.

Albert said he couldn't have killed the lieutenant, and he tried to save him, ironically saving Albert's horse but not the lieutenant.

Albert was arrested for killing the lieutenant, and those who sent him to the battlefield sent him to the court.

Without the carefully designed coincidence, Albert would not be able to leave, and he would not even have a chance to escape.

The director also hoped for a little more warmth. He asked the little girl and the maid to go abroad to find Albert, so that Albert's exiled life seemed hopeful.

Did Albert and Edward get their revenge?

The lieutenant who sent them directly to the last war was dead, but the upper-class society that sent them tens of thousands of companions into the battlefield, crushed into cannon fodder, continued to operate, still feasting, and people still coming and going.

So Albert had to flee, and Edward had to die.
