goodbye childhood

A straightforward account of the friendship between a French boy Julian (I don't know if it was Louis Mahler himself) and a Jewish boy Bonnet from Germany in a French boarding school during World War II. The author left a permanent scar on his mind. Louis Mahler said: All my films are about the loss of innocence. But in this film, no children lose their innocence, only people bid farewell to childhood. The death of their partners forced them to face the ruthlessness of the adult world and affected their lives. The war was too cruel, and the director calmly narrated his experience without adding any deliberate sensational elements. One morning in January 1944 was a morning unforgettable by the author. After Taibao left and the iron door was closed, Julian used a voice-over to convey what he had in mind for Louis Mahler. At this time, I realized that this film incorporates the director's personal experience and conveys a touch of true feelings that will not dissipate.

    Why should children who should be innocent and innocent have to bear too much? Jews, Nazis, concentration camps, Gestapo... these words that can never be separated from each other, what kind of sorrowful history.

    Every time I looked at the cover before, I thought it was telling the story of a girls' school! ! ! Also, you can't watch two-step war movies without interruption, especially the abuse described by children, and the tissues are not enough! ! !
