When Max asked Marianne "when you wouldn't use a Sten gun", I started to guess that Marianne must be a German spy and that the mission must go wrong. I think at that time, if I were the male lead, I would definitely shoot without hesitation. But the opposite was true, they completed their mission exceptionally well and went to England. After that, they got married, gave birth to a child in the air raid, and told the love in the plain.
That's when I started selectively forgetting what happened before and focusing on the dullness of the moment. I thought, maybe it's fine without the front-line battle scene, and that's fine. Later, when it was first mentioned that the V branch was looking for Max, I thought it was finally time to go to the front line. Unexpectedly, I learned that Marianne may really be a German spy, and the reason for suspicion is very reasonable. At this point, I started to worry that if it were, I might have to close my eyes to pull the trigger. But Max, like me, was reluctant to believe until there was solid evidence. So, the male protagonist began to investigate privately. At the party, a friend told him that the V branch might test him. Hearing this, I knew in my heart that it was unlikely, but I saw a glimmer of hope. And after seeing the owner of the jewelry store, it was like being poured cold water. The boss's behavior is too natural, and as a businessman, he would never say goodbye and leave so directly at such a time. The husband came up to ask questions is a good opportunity to vigorously sell. You must know that almost all men who can pay during the war are men, but the owner of the jewelry store is not very active. And Max was obviously also suspicious, and finally he decided to go to verify it in person.
The plane landed and raided the detention center at night. Finally found maybe the only person who still knew the real Marianne, blue eyes, energizing balls, and beautiful watercolors. These were all in line with Max's wife, but then the words dashed all my hopes. When my wife told the truth, I had the same reaction as Max - anger, then sadness, fear. At this time, I thought of what "Marianne" said at the beginning: "People are in this situation not because they are angry with each other, but because they are sincere." Every frame after that is torment, the silence in front of the jewelry store, the sound of the plane's engine not firing. At this time, I know everything in my heart, but I don't want to believe the truth. After the movie ended, I began to reflect on what changed me: from planning to kill her without hesitation, to knowing the truth but not believing it. It was that dull time that made me feel the beauty of being in love. If there is not such a long foreshadowing, there will be no empathy at the end. The whole film can be said that the foreshadowing is obvious, and the identity of the spy can be expected. But that long climax turned everything around.
