Just like the title, the sun’s warmth, the humorous wisdom, the deep love and the love of licking the calf... all these happened under the shadow of war, but this play shows that war is dark, but the protagonist has sunshine in his heart. Life is beautiful, attitude is positive, psychology is optimistic, the picture is bright and colorful, and the plot is comedy. I ran into his princess by accident; pretending to be an inspector to tease his race; in his uncle’s restaurant; walking in the rain with the "princess", and riding a white horse painted with the word "Jewish horse". The princess fled the engagement scene; when the son was older, he said to his son that "Jews and dogs are not allowed" is actually the same as "cockroaches and births are not allowed." After being captured by the Nazis, his wife resolutely said that she was also a Jew, and followed them. Concentration camp, and he created a wonderful and exciting points game for his son. He "translated" the rules of the game from the German military officer. He secretly greeted his princess with his son on the radio, and he found a group of German friends for his son. , He used the restaurant’s gramophone to play the opera they had heard to his wife far away in the women’s camp; the Nazis were about to withdraw from the camp. He told his son that this was the last level of the game and hid it. He risked it. He couldn't find his wife, but he still cared about the female prisoners who had never met; he was caught by the Nazi officer, but he performed exaggerated actions as if performing in the sight of his son, in order to make this lie complete. , Let the son survive... a few shots, we know that Gido was killed, there is no blood, no despair, even calm, like this film has been running through. This kind of love, to the wife, to the son, to the whole world, in the face of death, in the face of war and catastrophe, is so great and so touching.
