It's not difficult to photograph everyday life poetically, but it's really not easy to resist a grim war with humor and poetry.
Renoir is an amazing director.
The film tells the story of a group of returned war criminals who escaped from prison.
The plot is a bit procrastinated, because a lot of songs and dances, poetry, love, and friendship between the enemy and the enemy are interspersed.
The elegance of the prisoners of war, the decency of the supervisor, the sympathy between the enemy and the enemy, and the suddenness of love.
Suddenly I thought of a sentence from the Book of Songs: Happy but not promiscuous, sad but not hurt.
Although there are jokes about race and class in the play, it is more to promote peace that transcends race and class.
At the end of the film, a group of German soldiers looked at the fugitives running in the vast snow and said: They are already in Switzerland, wish them good luck!
Was deeply moved.
One more addition to my wish list in the future: May the world be at peace!
