The French take movies very seriously, and many directors regard movies as a kind of literature. Therefore, the film is bound to put a lot of philosophical and literary color into it, and discuss quite a lot of big issues with a serious attitude. The overarching theme of this film is growing up, the memories of adolescence, a theme that appeals to a large audience with nostalgia. Second is the memory of the war, especially the Jewish memory. Again, but at a higher level, the conflict and mutual recognition of different religions, cultures, and countries are discussed. This third point is perhaps where the film is truly immortal. Therefore, this film is difficult to understand, if you don't have some basic understanding of sects and ethnic groups.
Even on a more technical level, the film isn't rough. For example, the music when playing the piano is enough to make people cry, and the music is deeply integrated into the protagonist's mood. Another example is the large number of high and long shots in the action of Mountain Forest Sobao, which are very strange and visually appealing.
The French are artists among the people of the earth. This art does not lie in talent, but in true love and faith, and in the word seriousness.
