This is a beautiful love story that makes people unable to hold back tears, so hold back your tears before watching this film, otherwise you will not feel the cruelty left by the war. . . .
Starting with the poignant music of Swan Lake, it seems that you have foreseen the tragic ending, but when that moment really comes, you still can't bear the loss caused by the huge gap. . .
In the context of the war years, on a day of air raid warnings, in a tense atmosphere that permeated the entire city, under a sense of pressure from a rapid heartbeat, the hero and the heroine met. It seems that this is a moment to prepare for love. He is a handsome young military officer, and she is a beautiful and intelligent ballerina. He has a pair of charming blue eyes, and so does she. So they fell in love at first sight. He avoided the colonel's banquet and went to see her ballet performance. She didn't listen to the principal's advice and went on a date with him. He asked her to marry him, and she agreed. But the day before the marriage, he received an order to rush to the front. She ignored the performance at night and went to the station to see him off. She was fired as a result. She can only wait for him to come back.
People who have watched this film will certainly not forget the bright eyes of the hero and heroine, which are as clear as a beautiful heart. The film emphatically portrays the expressions of the characters, either affectionate, or joyful, or yearning, or frightened, or sad, or desperate. . . . Their words and deeds, gestures, including every look, are extremely charming. The picture is beautiful and clean, as if depicting a poetic life. For a while, people forget the cruel background of the war. The plot does not leave a little room for maneuver. When you look forward to a happy ending, the situation becomes serious. The harshness of the plot tears the beautiful picture to pieces. This gap gives a strong impact. The movie uses the beautiful love to reveal the ugly war. When you are infinitely sentimental, no doubt a classic has been born.
