I finally finished watching it with tears in my eyes. From last year to now, the last episode really wanted to cry, but when I calmed down, I couldn’t help but ask myself: Did the film reflect the war, or did the war create this film. From the perspective of civilians, it tells the life of five young people based on the self-report of his brother Wilham as a clue. My favorite is my brother Friedham. The war has changed him, making him gradually cold-blooded and ruthless. Because of this, he will return to the battlefield, but this time without the protection of his brother. He could have survived, but he used his death to tell the soldiers who were still children how cruel the war was. On the scene, they were all just animals in the pigsty. He also saved them and fulfilled his last wish. They become like him, which is distressing. The love between Wilham and Charlotte is heart-wrenching, and there is no room for love in the face of history and war, so Ham will let Charlotte give up. Victor was Jewish, and his perspective was representative of the entire Jewish community at the time. He was kind, so he took the risk to save the dying Jews on the train, because he had escaped from there. Greta wants to be a singer, but is taken advantage of. When she finally completed the redemption, she died on the eve of victory. Why use a montage at the end of the last episode? Actually, this is Ham's memory. On that night four years ago, five people made an agreement that Christmas would still be here, but some people will never come back. Because it was shot in Germany, there is no deliberate ugliness or beautification, and there is no class or national perspective. There are only young people surrounded by history and war. They used to be high-spirited, but individuals are after all humble in front of the times. Years later, they can tell future generations about the brutal wars they have endured in such a way that they can do everything in their power to keep the peace and the happiness of their people.
