In the German concentration camps of World War I, prisoners of war from different races and countries were detained. Director Renoir showed the life of the concentration camps in a realistic way.
Different ideas meet and collide in this camp, they talk about music, poetry, war, they find their own similarities and differences with others, they become friends, even with German officers.
Following the director's lens, we are thinking about the meaning of war, how different races and different countries can live in harmony, why war still occurs, why there is no peace, and why people fight
Mike and Rosenthal managed to escape under the cover of Podio, who was shot in the stomach by a German officer, but we know that the German officer didn't really want to shoot, it was the German officer's responsibility to have to shoot, if not During the war, German officers would become confidants with Podio. The snow was falling outside the window, as if the heart of a German officer was cold.
After Mike and Rosenthal escaped from prison, they met Aishal, a peasant woman in Germany. We learned about the great pain and trauma caused by the war to the German people. The appearance of Mike and Rosenthal made the lonely Aishal. Has a touch of warmth.
In the end, Mike and Rosenthal also escape to Switzerland with the help of the peasant woman.
Why did the war fight, how did people survive in the war-torn era, and what kind of trauma did the war bring to people? Renoir used his lens to show us that era, arousing our reflection
The classic of the film, the humanitarian brilliance displayed, still shines to this day
