Beth was originally a bystander who was completely out of the way. Why bother with the civil war in Spain. She strongly opposed Mia and Gale to participate in the Spanish Revolution. Maybe she knew, maybe she didn't know, there is no right or wrong in war, only victory or defeat, she only If you want to enjoy life at the moment without any external interference, do what you want to do, do it seriously; love whoever you want to love, she is a complete liberal at this moment. But in the end, Mia and Gail were still ignited by the patriotic enthusiasm in their chests and went to participate in this battle. Right and wrong can no longer be judged by simple value standards, just as Gail saw the death of a soldier he killed. Still tightly clutching the necklace with the photo of the lover, they are all the same human beings, with a beautiful life of love and ideals, and disappeared in this Spanish civil war, which was judged by Gaelic to be just. In order to meet Gale, Mia died under the bomb in retaliation. The same beautiful life is gone, if life is equally precious, then how to distinguish right from wrong. In the end, Gale returned to Paris, but the terrible war did not leave. Once again Gale chose the side that was considered righteous and joined the anti-fascist battle.
The look in Beth's eyes and the expression on her face when Gail desperately meets Beth is what I think is the best part of Theron in the whole film. First there was a burst of joy and confirmation, then a little sadness and a helpless decision. Beth didn't expect to see Gale again, confirming that Gale was alive, and at the same time blaming Gale for Mia's death, Beth knew that At this moment they can no longer recognize each other. Gale just thought Beth was sad about Mia's death and didn't want to talk. Then, when the comrades around thought that Beth was with the fascist leader for her own comfort, he did not believe that Beth would be like this, and when he questioned angrily, Beth should be a little sad, because the person she loved still did not Not so trusting and understanding her. And until Beth saved Gail's life, Gail may be relieved, and the lover in his heart is still so pure and beautiful. In my opinion, Beth should have been influenced by Gal and Mia, especially Mia's death to join this battle. Beth did not care about the contemptuous eyes of others and the danger to her life at any time, and became an important "Underground Workers". In this episode, Beth is sincere and proud, and believes in the justice of the war and understands the people in the war, even if others call her a "fascist bitch". And when the war ended, it was also the moment when Beth was abandoned, it was also the end of Beth's life, when Gale's superiors said that Beth was a flexible person, when the warrior of "justice" fought in front of Beth When the head of the fascist leader was exploded, Beth finally woke up and returned to herself, so you can see that Beth was indifferent when the person who finally "victory" picked up the butcher's knife and faced her.
However, the east wind prevails over the west wind, and the west wind prevails over the east wind. On the charge of anti-humanity and anti-freedom, neither side in the war can stay out of it. Fighting for freedom, but the bad roots of human nature - revenge and narrow-mindedness - did not change. So is "fighting for freedom" just a pretense?
When the author couldn't write any important articles recently, I read Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Spirits". It was because of Orwell's influence that I had such an interpretation of this film.
