This is a movie intertwined with reality and memories. Reality is a cruel, fierce, life-threatening war, while memories are sweet and warm love. The transition between reality and memory is the close-up or middle shot of the protagonist Weissford. The battlefield is harsh and real, the sceneries where love takes place are soft and beautiful, the interior is magnificent, and the main characters are exquisitely dressed. This shows the extraordinary care of the production staff.
The love between Wesford and Isabella is implicit and passionate in the first half of the film, but suffers a long-term separation due to the child's problem. Isabella passed away alone, Weisford regretted it and faced her biological daughter without a face. Finally, the film uses the mouth of a road digger, Farbris, to point out the essence of love: love and be loved. Wesford suddenly became clear, and mustered the courage to escape the predicament and return home.
In the war part of the film, the fate of the soldiers is impermanent, and the flesh and blood are wiped out in the blink of an eye. The movie highlights Farbris, a digger who was unable to take care of his wife and son due to the war, and eventually lost his life in the war. The cruelty of the war and the astonishing destruction of life revealed the anti-war view of the film.
The whole film tells us that life, love and other beautiful things are vulnerable to war and life, so we should learn to cherish them.
For a while on the boat, the protagonist and heroine were glaring.
