I just want to talk about the part about love.
I always felt that in Roland's heart, the place Vera occupied was only a very small part. Friendship, ambition, and family were bigger than her. He didn't say goodbye well when he left her house. When I joined the army, I told her before I left. After joining the army, Vera was the last to know when she went home for the holidays. She didn't even leave a single last word to her. Vera also showed loss, but Vera really liked him. Edward said to her: "Don't be too infatuated with him." Infatuation, yes, she was very infatuated with him. This emotion was never reflected in Roland, He has always shown a proper liking, but when he was leaving, he said to her, I love you, this is a very weighty promise, not a love story that can be easily said. At that time, Vera seemed to be in his heart. With some weight. The movie depicts the feeling of first love very delicately. After parting, Vera will keep reminiscing when she is alone, trying to remember everything about him in his mind, the corners of his mouth, his arms, his eyes, the look in his eyes when he looks back at her , the touch when he grabbed her arm, the temperature of his fingertips when he held his hand. These details are heartwarming. I've always thought that an actor's eyes are very important, but Kit Harington's performance in the movie is really not very good, his eyes have no content. Although I like the innocent Snow in the ice and fire.
