Live happily, or just, live

"Please don't be sad, you must live happily." I happened to read a discussion on Zhihu "The person I loved very much passed away", and none of the answers in it can really live without burdens. Even if happiness is regained, it must be "walked out" with great courage after experiencing pain.

The wounds of war cannot be healed. But the living must continue to live, whether with hope for the future or as a walking dead.

The male protagonist wants to gain inner relief, so he mustered up the courage to come to Germany and hoped to be forgiven by Franz's family. But this kind of courage and cowardice coexist. The confession of some things is to seek inner peace, and the pain is passed on to the other party. Anna is the bravest and strongest person. Use white lies to "deceive" both parties, and carry the burden yourself. But at the end, when she went to the Louvre, the whole thing seemed to bring her into a new realm - the double-sided lie was no longer a burden, but a life-saving straw for everyone, including herself. Her life is still very long.

The doctor's deep and forbidding love for his son was touching. "I love Germany, but I love my son more." At the wine table, when he was questioned by other old German friends, he calmly said that the two sides killed each other's flesh and blood because of each other. Raising a glass to celebrate, not realizing that it was me—the fathers—that sent their sons to battle. But I think out of the responsibility and sense of mission of defending the country, they will still make the same choice even if they have the opportunity to come back. Son, it is more for the country and society to cultivate.

The colorful shots are a glimpse of hopeful fantasy and a moment of joy in reality, while the long black and white is stark reality.
