A Very Long Engagement--War and Love

I’ve wanted to watch it since I was a senior in high school, but I didn’t expect it to take so long. When I saw the introduction of the film on TV, I only remembered the scene of Audrey Tautou running desperately in the grass with a limp. And then, he was the protagonist's face. It is indeed full of blood when watching a war movie... Fortunately, her firm eyes are intermittent, and her expression of praying that he is still alive at any moment makes people sad.

Their love is as pure and lasting as two little things. The "MMM" on the lighthouse clock has become a symbol that he is recognized and remembered like a spell, and the "Magnec Etilda" that he shouts while engraving also speaks directly to In his heart, the cruelty of the war. As far as I can imagine, in order to survive or survive, the rest has to be abandoned. The most hateful part is the root cause of those wars! The innocent are only the people at the bottom line, and they also affect countless people around them.

Especially at the end, when he asked "Why are you crying?" with a puzzled face, tears burst like a dyke, and suddenly spewed out... Although this episode of final amnesia is really old-fashioned, she watched him busy doing his own things in that sunshine. As long as he was still there, as long as he was still by her side, as long as she could see him, it was enough, enough happiness! The ugliness of war only highlights the beauty of this love! Never fight!

    The texture of the oil painting is very attractive, and the reflection on human nature and war has brought the film to a higher level

    Emily's style is continued on the camera lens, the color tone is very impactful but it is more eye-catching, and the story is very broken, and the French people's nagging problem is also reflected. There are also male protagonists of the black shop, and Jodie Foster also came to the show. In French, Cotillard has five stars for her as the heroine. I have never liked Pierre Genet's things very much.
