goodbye kids

A very recommended movie. The story takes place in 1944, a boarding mission school in France under German occupation. The whole story does not directly describe the cruelty of the war. The children are in class, wash, eat, fight, bully new students... The Americans are about to land, the war is about to end, and the French in the restaurant automatically defend an elderly Jewish man who is eating Gentlemen, the children are just curious why the Jews are different, although it is deep in the winter, it feels like spring is not far away. The narration of the story is very routine, and it can even be said to be trivial and dull. The occasional sound of explosions and German soldiers will also make the viewers nervous, but the overall experience is relaxed. However, the story ends with the German Gestapo breaking into the school, taking three Jewish students and the priest, the headmaster, who sheltered them. The film ends with two friends staring at each other, and the subtitles show that the taken away died in a concentration camp. At this time, the viewers could not help but burst into tears, for the ravaged nobility, dignity, beauty and hope.
