"Bland" war movie

I feel that this film is not the type that everyone will like. Compared with Hollywood war films, there is no such heroic war scene. It is a family's point of view to let the audience experience World War II through the film.
Because the film is based on the memoir, each scene is very real, and it feels real, as if the story is happening around you. The characters' behaviors, dialogues, relationships, and conflicts are not unexpected but very emotional and shocking, allowing the characters to fully express their characters in the story. What strikes me the most is that the film against such a tragic background is not so gloomy, the beginning is brisk, and the whole film is not lost in fairy tales, humorous, and makes the whole development of the story seem so natural, not at all unacceptable or unacceptable. Incomprehensible feeling.
It is rare that the film is very simple, without strong guidance or advocacy, but tells a real story for the audience to experience, judge, understand and recall.
I've always hated watching movies about war, but this one is an exception.

My Boy Jack quotes

  • Caroline Kipling: [crying] I miss him.

    Rudyard Kipling: [bursts into tears] So do I.

    Caroline Kipling: I can feel his head on my chest. I can feel his thick hair under my fingers. I can hear him laugh. I can feel his heat against me.

  • [last lines]

    Rudyard Kipling: Have you news of my boy Jack?/ Not this tide./ When d'you think that he'll come back?/ Not with this wind blowing, and this tide./ Has any one else had word of him?/ Not this tide./ For what is sunk will hardly swim, Not with this wind blowing, and this tide./ Oh, dear, what comfort can I find?/ None this tide,/ Nor any tide,/ Except he did not shame his kind-/ Not even with that wind blowing, and that tide./ Then hold your head up all the more,/ This tide,/ And every tide;/ Because he was the son you bore,/ And gave to that wind blowing and that tide!
