When I was young, when I saw the end of the movie, Pierre and Natasha, who had experienced hardships, met again on the ruins of the old house of the Rostov family, and when they walked together through the garden where the spring was blooming, they felt that happiness really was like this. forever.

When I read the novel, I found that the young and brave Denisov became a conservative and shrewd landlord after the war; Sofia was still not seen by the old lady Rostov; the innocent and lovely Natasha became a short-haired , and Pierre, our simple and kind Pierre, became a well-behaved, mediocre little civil servant. This is life, not as ideal and perfect as you think it is, nor as bad and hopeless as you fear. Denisov didn't get to be with Sofia in the end, but he still loved Sophie, just as Sophie was willing to become an old girl and stay at the Rostov house for life. Natasha has gradually become as mean-spirited as a little woman, but she is still cherished by her husband Pierre as a young girl; Pierre seems to have forgotten the original ideal of reform, but he still loves and loves Denisov In the debate, insist on the inevitability of the change of the times. Everyone has changed in that war, but they still retain some of the innocence and belief that the novel opens with. Only the dead Andre, forever a symbol of the nobility of a bygone era, living in the memories of his friends who survived the catastrophe, in the dreams of his son.

As Tolstoy's ambitious plan, this novel is not just a description of the love and encounters of a group of noble and ideal young people in the Great Patriotic War of 181, it is an encyclopedia about life, love, friendship, Family affection, sympathy for the weak, the pursuit of justice, and the desire for a better life. Unforgettable

when Andre looked at the lively Natasha at the social dance and said to himself: "The next time she looks back at me and laughs at me, I will marry her."

Ye confessed for the first time to the crying Natasha: "If I could get half of your love, I would be the happiest person in the world." I will never

forget the French lieutenant Le Le who rescued the little girl from the fire with Pierre Hehe said, "We are human too." It is

unforgettable that Dolokhov and Pierre, a pair of enemies who fought for Helen's jealous duel, sat together on the battlefield when they met and reunited, staring at Katya's body in a daze.

Unforgettable dying Andre married Natasha in a dream, but when he opened his eyes, he found Natasha beside him begging for his forgiveness.

It is unforgettable that Pierre found in the church bell that Natasha, who was as lively and light as a deer, had become a gentle and strong woman. . . . .

The hardest but necessary thing to do is to love life, even when suffering. Because life is everything, life is your God, and to love life is to love God.
----------Leo Tolstoy
