for freedom

Siberia->Mongolia->Himalayas->India, without equipment, lack of food and water, all the way to avoid Sud's minions, walking through the most dangerous wasteland on earth, it is probably the most incredible adventure in history. . Struggling nearly 5,000 miles of dangerous Jedi, there is only one goal: freedom!

What kind of strong belief must be in the bottom of my heart to be able to achieve the goal like a muscle? In the desert, Janusz said to Mr. Smith, who had almost given up: No one can forgive you, and you can't forgive yourself (Mr. Smith thinks that he brought his son to Russia that led to his son's persecution and death), I His wife can't forgive herself (Janusz's wife was forced to frame him), only I can help her, I must go back, and you too. When they first thought of fleeing, they had thought of death, but, even if it was such a death, at least it was free. Like the boy with night blindness, even if he trades death for at least a moment of freedom.

The escape route of the 7 people was full of difficulties and obstacles, as well as the death and departure of their companions. In the end, only 3 people actually reached India. It was not so much a physical search for freedom, but a spiritual one. People who have not experienced this kind of persecution, like us, may have a hard time understanding their attachment to freedom. But that persistence will still resonate in your heart.

At the end of the film, those persevering feet have gone through nearly half a century, and finally returned to the place of the dream, which is the house that gave him the strength to persevere when he had to give up countless times. Janusz was finally able to truly push the Open the door, just like many, many years ago, when I was still in high spirits, my young wife was sitting in the same position waiting for me, but now, my wife who used to be smiling is as old as me, and her eyes are full of guilt. The joy of seeing him again, the two old men can finally embrace the real each other.

    oooooooo! The male protagonist in one day! Do you think no one is following him? So handsome! When I was watching this, I almost forgot that there was colin in it~ I just looked at him. Ahem~ Going back to the movie itself, it may be difficult for those who don't know the background of the movie to watch it. It tells the dark history of labor camps in Siberia. The escape process was desperate and full of confusion, but fortunately the end was bright. Otherwise, you won't have to train tonight.
