If you only talk about love, don't talk about the plot.

Back then, the first time I watched this film was when I went to the cinema with my family in the fourth grade of elementary school.
At that time, he was still a little kid who didn't know anything. The
deepest memory is that after the male number one was mistaken for hanging up, the male number two and the female protagonist quickly became pregnant with a child.
At that time, it was just a vague memory, feeling how unfaithful the heroine was and how pitiful it was after the male number one came back. (In the eyes of a child, there are only simple good and bad, and I don't think so much.)
Look at it again at this time, it's time last year.
Twelve years have passed. Has now entered the broad road for adults.

Lying on the bed that day and looking at it quietly made me understand the director's thoughts on this arrangement.

In fact, it is very simple, every girl has a heroic dream at first in her heart. The heroes in the dreams are always chivalrous and tender, and shoulder heavy responsibilities. He needs a strong ego and male chauvinism, but also has the right humor and gentleness, of course, this is only for the loved one. This kind of person is a person whom girls admire and admire. His excellence will make you intoxicated and unforgettable. This is RAFE. This kind of person can often leave indelible marks in your life, just like a dream has finally come true.

And danny is like the tenderness and love that a person wants to have after experiencing too much fatigue. Young love, you hope that your partner can realize your dream, you encourage him to travel far, and you are willing to bear the thoughts. However, after a certain period of time, when you are tired, you hope that there will be someone who is willing to pay for you and love you. But this person is not necessarily the one you love the most. You need him because he gives you a sense of security.


The closeness and love of the male second and the heroine, in the final analysis, is the only way for two people to find support and a sense of security after losing their loved ones.
It may be understood that in the turbulent war period, the sadness of losing a lover and a brother can only be understood by each other. The two wanted to rely on each other to slowly get out of this sad atmosphere, but accidentally fell in love.
Because compared to RAFE, DANNY is more willing to give, has a more delicate mind, and takes care of others.
This is what a woman needs most after experiencing a sad first love.
So I can understand why they are together logically.

The female protagonist said to RAFE during the last time the male one and two participated in the battle: "You will always be in my heart, but I can't live up to DANNY."
In fact, this is the right choice for the female protagonist, and
it is also the most realistic choice. The one chosen at the end will not be the one that the girls love most, but the one that can give her the most peace of mind and happiness.
To have a relationship with a hero is too bitter, and it requires too much dedication.
DANNY's willingness to stay for her proved her position in his heart.

Ten years ago, I liked RAFE because of his manhood.
But now it seems that he has the courage and does not have a heart that is willing to consider his lover. He understands that that will make the other person sad, but he gave up the other because he realized his dream.
Now I like DANNY, because every girl in the end hopes to have someone who puts herself in her heart and can give herself a happy and stable life.
But he was destined to be a cannon fodder in this film.

Perhaps as compensation, or as a story that requires perfection and a little imperfection for you to remember and taste, the director finally arranged the male and female numbers to be together as he wished.
After all, this is still a movie.
Not reality.

Another: Kate Beckinsale was so beautiful that CRY back then.
