Hope and Glory

From a child's point of view, many things will look different in war. For example, the air raid on London by enemy planes will make the children cheer, because then they have earned their vacations and don't have to go to school. The film is directed by British director John. In Baoman's childhood memories, the protagonist is a nine-year-old boy. Because his father went to the front to fight, he was able to enjoy a free life like a wild child, and he also had a very interesting interaction with his sister who was in love with him. Although the whole film does not have a clear storyline, but through the rich and interesting details, it is to let the audience feel the atmosphere of London when the Second World War broke out. It is humorous and delicate. A surprising war movie.

Grandfather George: Ohhh, it's only a house...a ghastly one at that. They should all be burned and bombed and the builder hanged.
