Maria is a strong woman, she is smart, persistent, flexible and resilient, and her beauty and temperament extraordinary feminine charm makes all men irresistible. Whether it's an American soldier or a French boss, her response is so skillful and comfortable that she even makes you ignore the tactics and unconsciously think that enjoying an elegant life is a matter of course for this kind of woman. Even considering the purpose of all her choices, life is not easy in the world, and she is under the shackles of a moral marriage. You have to understand such a beautiful and arduous path choice.
The half-day and one-night marriage has created this tragedy from the very beginning, and the nature of doing whatever one wants will eventually fail to meet the barriers of secular etiquette. Maybe you will say that it was not explained before the movie. Since they can get married, it means that they have true love. Isn't the husband charged with murder for her? But there is one thing, the impulse is easy to stick to the hardest. Such a long ordeal, compared to the pure heart and few desires in the iron prison, wandering in this world of drunkenness and sensuality, and to silently stick to that ethereal marriage that doesn't even have a kiss in the bottom of my heart, outside of the madness Why not let people sigh and pity. You must know that even if you are stubborn and conservative like her mother, at the end, she will not turn around and enjoy the beauty of free true love.
But all this was so unfortunate for her, a strong woman with the same name as Our Lady. Standing in hell and looking at heaven, when all the hardships have cleared the clouds, and finally the moon is about to be full, a match will make everything disappear. Valuable things are destroyed in front of our eyes, and the tragedy is such that it is unbearable.
If you pay attention, you will find that cigarettes always haunt before and after this tragedy: the husband returns from the death in Russia and ignores the cuckolded American soldier, but he pounces on the cigarette, and when he returns home from Canada, his wife is eager to light it while he is is still a cigarette. Perhaps this is what Fassbender is alluding to: the reality that the mind is bound by the world is so unbearable. Life is like this, and all the hard work and desires are only a puff of smoke.
