First of all, let’s talk about the viewing experience. First of all, it is definitely the best movie I have ever seen about World War II. The story has no war. It only describes the cruelty of the war from the perspective of two children. The flavor can only be seen by brushing more.

The long shot at the beginning of the story is great and intriguing. It leads to the name of the movie. The little boy knows that it is a Jewish symbol and is willing to exchange it for a bag of marbles. Here is a close-up, intriguing.

The first explosion in the story is when the father asks him if he is Jewish, and the slap is very shocking. The next good doctor is when the boy says you know what to do and is willing to save them. When the guards pull them away, he talks to the doctor The staring at each other is shocking, and fleeing in a new place, the boy is madly saving money just to buy a violin for his mother, the background of the mother playing the violin is super beautiful, and the whole family is also intoxicated. In the end, what moved me the most was the liberation of Paris. Now, in order to save the object of his secret love, he chose to stand on the table and shout loudly that he was a Jew. The film uses a bird's-eye view here, which highlights the cruelty of war and the fact that no matter what the circumstances, humanity will not disappear.

The protagonist always holds a marble in his hand. On the one hand, it is in contrast to the bag of marbles that he didn't take before. On the other hand, he finally released the marbles after learning about his father. The marbles here also represent boys. love for father. The father loosened, and the marbles were meaningless.

The two brothers fought wit and courage along the way, wit and courage, and the difference between the front and the back was obvious. At the beginning, they cried and couldn't walk. The elder brother carried it on his back. When he saw that the elder brother couldn't walk, he proposed to carry the elder brother. The timid in the front, the brave in the middle Courageous, courageous, he is really a man of the sky, and finally mature. The secret love scene arranged for the little boy is also very good, reflecting the reality of growth.

The people in the movie are really kind, but in reality it must not be so smooth. War is cruel, but what cannot be wiped out is human nature. I hope that every kind person can be treated as an ordinary person, just like the father in the movie said: When a good person leaves, he will become a star, shining and never clear.

    Based on Joffo's autobiographical novel, it is said to have sold 20 million worldwide, but it is not well known in China. World War II, Jews, Resistance, and the Great Escape from a child's point of view. It can be said to be the children's version of "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth". There are laughter and tears, the enemy and me are both living people, so genre films should be shot like this. I kind of want to read a novel.

    The preface to "Bag of Bullets" reads: "This book is not the work of a historian. It is a memory of my childhood as a ten-year-old, of my adventures during the occupation of France." The adaptation is more faithful to the original, looking at France during World War II and all kinds of people at that time from the perspective of children, retaining the inner activities and true feelings of children, and truly reflecting the social conditions of France during the war from one aspect, and the young actors performed well .
