American director Paul Feige's "Delivering a Letter to Copenhagen" (also translated "I Am David" 2003), adapted from the Danish novel "Northern Freedom", focuses on a realistic interpretation of human nature, a journey of life full of danger and hope .
In the 1940s and 1950s, David, a 12-year-old boy who was working as a slave in a Bulgarian concentration camp, escaped with the help of his inmates and the kind people who controlled them, with a compass, soap, a piece of bread and the most precious letter. After leaving the concentration camp, after passing through numerous checkpoints, he went south through Greece and then crossed the sea to the Apennine Peninsula. From this, he started a bright journey to find freedom to the north.
Although the process was so difficult, the little boy still didn't know that he was already in the free world, and was still scared and uneasy. At this time, after all, what he was facing was flowers and smiles. Finally, with the help of a female painter, he arrived in Switzerland. In a small town, he found that the photo of the heroine in a book was exactly the same as what he saw in Bulgaria, so the old lady asked him to take out the letter. David finally embarked on the journey home and got on the plane to Denmark with a smile. At Copenhagen Airport, he saw this great mother. David suffered bad luck because she went to Bulgaria to participate in sports.
The film is moving and sweet. Whenever David encounters difficulties, there will be the firm expressions and encouraging words of the inmates. Jim Caviezel's performance is really impeccable, as good as his performance in "The Passion", he always gives people a sense of The toughest look in my life.
What needs to be pointed out is that the realism and traditional expression of the film cannot be used to obliterate the part that shocks our souls. Thinking of a 12-year-old child who has to travel across so many countries and so many journeys, this alone is enough for us to sigh, just like the Italian article "From the Apennine Mountains to the Andes Mountains - 6,000 Miles in Search of Mother" touched us. , this film also touches our fragile memories and memories.
