How much do you love someone?

Destinee 2022-12-24 23:54:06

Here's a question for you: If you love someone, and I'm talking about the kind of love in love, what would you do for him? How crazy is it?

I don't know myself, because I am a passive person and a relatively selfish person, so it is unlikely that I will do anything earth-shattering.

No matter what you can do, what one person can do probably few can. She's Lena, the heroine of Colony Dignity.

The main reason for choosing this film is that Lena is played by Emma Watson, also known as Hermione. This little magician has grown up long ago without us noticing, and has become an intellectual beauty.


My good impression of her made me click the play button of this film, and while I was attracted by the tense story, I was also moved by Lena's deep affection for her lover.

It turns out that if you love someone, you can love so much and do so much for him.

Chile in 1973, the South American country undergoing a coup. Daniel, a hot-blooded young man from Germany, came here. He fervently supported one side and participated in speeches, rallies, and designing promotional posters.



In order to meet him, his flight attendant girlfriend Lena flew to Chile to give her boyfriend a super surprise.

When she saw him from the car, her eyes started to light up. He turned around to see her in the crowd, and was stunned.

The two exchanged love with their eyes, silent but affectionate.


The two young people love each other and have their own favorite careers, which makes people feel beautiful. They look forward to the future together and speak sweet words that belong to them.

She laughed when she listened to his speeches, when she saw the photos he took, and when she imagined their little days in the future.

Love him to the core, and the smile will bloom naturally.

Happiness is unstoppable, and so is love.



But overnight, the Chilean junta leader and dictator Pinochet came to power, and Daniel was betrayed and captured by the so-called comrades.



After the sudden blow, facing the former warm love nest turned upside down by the searchers, without much time to think about it, Lina must choose between her own safety and the fate of her lover.

The young Lena did not flinch, but resolutely embarked on the road to rescue her boyfriend. The former comrade refused to provide any help to protect herself, and Lena could only rely on herself.

This is her best effort for love, and the best annotation for love.

I asked myself in front of the screen that I didn't have such courage, so I admired it even more.

Lina learned that Daniel was kidnapped by Pinochet's men to a secret base called "Dignity Colony". It was a gathering place built by former German Nazis who fled to Chile, and none of the kidnapped people ever escaped the "colony" alive.

She dressed up, stared at the mirror for a moment, turned and walked forward.

Doesn't she know what the road in front of her is like? Isn't she afraid of the impending danger? I think she knows, at least after being hunted down, being held at gunpoint, someone shot dead in front of her, her boyfriend missing, and so on.

Such an ordinary woman should have never suffered, let alone the experience of war. Human nature is always cowardly, willing to take risks and even fight for life, unless it is supported by something more powerful, such as love, such as huge interests.

And what supports Lena in the play is her love for her boyfriend. The group photo that was put into the cross was the weight that gave her strength.

Knock on the seemingly ordinary blue door and walk into the quiet place surrounded by trees. No one knows if he can get out again. She came to create miracles with love, and to let both of them go out alive.

Lina in front of her seemed to be much older, and she was like a withered rose who was worried about her lover. She could have left this dangerous situation, beautiful, elegant, joyful and free, but because of love, she chose to take it.

Love can really make people infinitely brave.

Faced with a treacherous and cruel female executive, a terrifying Nazi leader, and a heavily policed ​​"colony", Lena takes risks several times. She tasted physical fatigue, spiritual fear, experienced being deceived, hurt others unintentionally, and risked herself in order to create an opportunity to meet her boyfriend.

She was afraid, but her eyes were always stubborn. Despite all the dangers, she still insisted on the original idea: they must run out together. Although she lived a long life and suffered double damages both physically and mentally, she never wavered. Love overwhelmed everything. Looking at the tears in her eyes, it really hurts.




When the horrible days slowly passed, they finally met.

She looked at him, and there were thousands of words in her heart, but when he lightly squeezed his fingers, it turned into a sweet smile.

The male protagonist thought that he was involved in the arrest of the female protagonist, but the female protagonist said that she came in on her own initiative. The tone was calm and relaxed, as if talking about an outing, and the male protagonist was already stunned. What a love this is and how lucky he is!

After a series of twists and turns, several setbacks, the atmosphere became extremely tense. I was in a cold sweat in front of the screen, for fear that this story would be a tragedy. After all, it's all about politics, and politics often leaves people speechless. In the face of the interests of political groups, personal sacrifice is commonplace.

Fortunately, I was not disappointed after all, and love finally won. This is an eye opened by heaven, it is Lina's due return, it is friendship that overcomes power, it is justice that returns to the world.

This ending is a reproduction of real events in history, so it is not fictional, nor is it too exaggerated.

Some people see political struggle in this film, some people see resourcefulness, some people see anti-humanity, but what I see is love.

A weak and beautiful woman bet her freedom with her life for love, and rescued her boyfriend with courage and wisdom. Because of their actions, more people were rescued, sinful people were punished, and small love turned into big love. The power of love is truly amazing.

I'm not Lena, I ask myself that I can't take such a great or extraordinary step, but there are always people in this world who love more deeply and passionately than me. In the most difficult times, there will always be people who choose to persevere and choose to give everything for love. I am not, but I will admire and bless.

If you and your lover are suffering for love, I hope God will open an eye for you, so that you can bathe in the warm sunshine, hold hands and look at each other, and be quiet and peaceful.
