The perfect combination of love and war.
A war hero who has experienced war, because he killed a child soldier in the war, he has a conscience, and he was wounded and evacuated from the battlefield and fled the battlefield. Worked in the logistics department due to the doctor's evidence of mental trauma and neurasthenia. He fell in love with the nurse who cared for him during his recovery. In the first half of the film, the charming scenery of Canada makes people appreciate the style of the paradise. The second half of the movie returns to the battlefield. It was raining, the roads were muddy, and war was imminent. David (the younger brother of the hero Mann's girlfriend), who was tricked into the battlefield, rushed into the enemy's position hysterically on the battlefield, and was captured and hung on a cross to show the public. In order to fulfill the promise he made to his girlfriend to bring her brother back, Mann risked being shot dead by gunfire and rushed up to get back David's body. At this time, there was a harmonious scene similar to that there was no war on the Western Front, and the two sides stopped the exchange of fire involuntarily. At this time, the bright sunlight shone on the battlefield full of corpses and gunpowder smoke. The golden sunlight and the dark battlefield form a strong aesthetic contrast. Mann returned to his position with the cross on which David's body was tied. Mann finally fulfilled his promise to his girlfriend.
Most war films rarely touch upon the subject of World War I. The film is based on a major battle in World War I. The protagonist does not die in the film. At the end, the protagonists came to the mountains to sweep the graves of the dead soldiers. Numerous tombstones are neatly arranged and extended into the distance. In the distance, a horse stands alone on the top of the mountain, giving people a feeling of loneliness and loneliness.
