Stumbled across another HP-Daniel movie over the weekend, a movie with a World War I background, Dan played an 18-year-old army officer, it's strange, I thought so too. But after watching it, I think it's okay.

Adapting a true story about the first British Nobel Prize winner The story of Rudyard Kipling, the great writer of the literary award, who pushed his severely short-sighted son to the battlefield. In fact, the above statement is full of personal emotions, because I feel that the father must bear the inescapable responsibility for this matter: the

son is in the father's Growing up under the influence of warism, he 'enjoyed' the protection of his powerful father from childhood to adulthood. He thought that one day he would break out of his father's shadow, walk his own way, and live his own life. Finally, he met the war zone. Such an opportunity came, he was low-sighted, but he never gave up. He dreamed of becoming a powerful British navy, but he didn't succeed. In the end, he became an army soldier because of his father's connections. He succeeded and joined the army. The army, in order to escape from the home that made him gloomy, from the shadow of his father. He was not fit for war at all, remember what his sister said to his father after he died in battle: he escaped from this home, for this Reason, do you think it is honorable to die in battle? The

movie passed in a dull tone, which is reflected in the poor mother. She did not participate too much in her husband's belligerent theory and her son's participation in the war, she just silently She waited for every letter from her son, until her last sentence: But I miss him. It showed all the misses for her son at once. At that time, I was watching this movie with my mother, and I watched the movie out of the corner of my eye. My mother had tears in her eyes.

As for my father, I finally read the poem not this tide, which still moved me.
