"The real light is never the time when there is never darkness, but it is never covered by darkness. A true hero is never never without a humble sentiment, but never be succumbed to a humble sentiment... So, before you have to overcome Before the enemy from outside, you must first defeat your inner enemy; you don’t have to be afraid of sinking and falling, as long as you can constantly extricate yourself and renew yourself."
————Fu Lei wrote for his translation of "John Christopher" Dedication

If you read that in 1996 the Ministry of great film "the English patient", you will find the same feeling in the movie, although one is sand, is a Cold Mountain, but the humane care and anti-war sentiment But there is something in common. Director Anthony Minghella used his unique epic romantic shooting technique to shoot this work depicting the American Civil War with poignancy, exquisiteness, and soul-stirring. The film is completely in line with the tone of the novel of the same name, coupled with the luxurious star lineup, has created this majestic and compassionate classic film. Although there are not many war scenes in the film, the bone pain caused by the war is more convincing. , To sublimate the theme of anti-war, it is a yearning for life and a yearning for a better life, whether it is Inman struggling on the front line, or Ada who is struggling in his hometown, or all kinds of things that appear in the film. figure.

"Cold Mountain" tells about the troubled journey of a soldier returning home for his love at the end of the civil war. The great love story merges with the lonely and miserable long distance. "Cold Mountain" takes the local history as the background and is based on the family story passed down from generation to generation from the author’s great grandfather. In the southern land of the stubble, return to the story of his sweetheart Ada before the war. At the same time, Ada is working hard to revive the farm left by her father with the help of the brave and tenacious young girl Ruby. Inman's "Odyssey" and Ada's struggles are intertwined with each other. Their long-term isolated lives are about to converge as the war approaches the end. The two face the huge challenges of an unrecognizable world.

War is the extreme cruelty of mankind. Life perishes in war and humanity is wiped out in war. Even Inman, who has a firm desire, when he returns to his lover after experiencing many hardships, he feels unbearable to look back and feel that the former British Man is already dead, and now he is just an empty shell, and his soul has long been torn apart by the demon of war. Yes, there is no more grief than death. A young man who was once kind and longing for love has experienced the cruelty of war. He faces killing and being killed all day long. In order to win or survive, he personally kills a living of his kind. Can the character not be destroyed? When he returns to his dream hometown, can he forget the bloody scenes and the extremely painful faces before his death? He is no longer Inman, and the cruelty of war lies here, not only destroying the dead, but also destroying the still alive.

Similarly, after separating from Inman, Ida also experienced reborn painful changes. First, her father died and she was alone. Second, everyone had no experience in survival because of her daughter’s background. Then she was threatened by bullies at any time. There is no news from my sweetheart, and suffering from these painful tortures is really unbearable for a weak woman. Fortunately, a lower-level helper RUBI has arrived. Although both are women, RUBI, who is a working people, has strong survivability. Over a man. The two women depend on each other, enduring the hardships of life and dealing with cruel bullies. When meeting Inman after all kinds of hard work, the lady who was once elegant and lovely disappeared. Standing in front of him was a strong woman. It's really hard to ask, endless things, without saying... ..

The whole tone of the film is gray, but the eyes and tails are full of green and vibrant, which seems to indicate that life is originally beautiful, and the trauma of war will eventually be replaced by the continuation of life. Everything happens around Lengshan. The land of Lengshan is ruthless, witnessing what is happening here, and the people on this land are strong, green is the symbol of life, and the two new lives sitting under the big green tree are for the future Of incentives.

This is a film that makes me feel infinitely emotional. I think this is a classic blockbuster. The reason why a blockbuster film is so big is not only because of the gathering of big names, fierce action, and amazing investment, but also the magnificence that can reflect an era. The magnificence reflects the heroism and romantic sentiments of the typical characters of this era, and leaves room for the audience to think. Through their stories, they can see the light of beautiful things of human nature, which is the light of warm life.
