Losing the desire to speak is not because of the powerlessness of words, but because of the abandonment of life. However, I struggled to say something, because only by saying it would I know where I had come, and perhaps only then would I know where I was going.
A Finnish-speaking sniper, a Russian-speaking Red Army soldier, a Saami-speaking minority woman; a young college student who hated war but was forced to side with the German army; a hobbyist who wrote poetry and was told by his peers for divorce twice A veteran, a young woman who has not been in contact with a man and a group of deer for four years living by the lake; a battlefield filled with iron blood and hatred, a natural residence with a harmonious and tranquil lake and mountains, a log cabin full of love, warmth and mystery...
3 Personal lives come together, each speaks a language that the other does not understand, the two men on both sides of the war from hostility and estrangement to intimacy and mutual assistance, everything is completed under the guidance of the natural heart and love of the young Saami woman Anne. War is not an eternal hatred. People need to be reborn from nature, and they also need to learn the real way of survival from nature.
Humans once wanted to build a tower of Babel that reached the sky, so that people could go to heaven and see God. God did not directly punish the human beings who are always arrogant to the gods, but let the people who built the tower of Babel start talking about each other. The incomprehensible language divided the builders and caused the Tower of Babel to collapse. Humanity has never worked together since then, and in the gaps of strife and hatred, peace and tranquility existed briefly, and then disappeared immediately. The sixty years after World War II were only a short moment in the long history, and this moment was not really peaceful, and the death caused by the war never really stopped for a day.
The three languages in "The Cuckoo" also prevented them from establishing a harmonious relationship, but under the influence of Anne, they communicated with each other through love. Love is the only common communication thing left by human beings. In the wonderful natural environment of the 3rd person, love became their working language in rebuilding the three-person Tower of Babel. At the end of the film, the two men dragged their military uniforms to wear the animal skin and left Annie. One day a few years later, Annie, who was still living by the lake, told two children named after the two men. The story that brought them into the world - in my opinion, the child is the next angel from heaven after the tower of Babel was built.
There is nothing anti-war in the film, but it makes war ugly and superficial. Iron and blood seem so incompatible in the face of a clean and peaceful natural environment, and the hatred and hatred in human nature may only be buried deep in the heart after they are far away from the world. I don't know what happened to the two men when they returned to the crowd they were familiar with. I don't want to think about it, because just thinking about it makes me very pessimistic. In fact, from the moment they left Anne, I had abandoned them from the bottom of my heart. At that moment, the Tower of Babel collapsed again. They still chose to return from heaven to hell. Originally, people are farther from hell than heaven. .
