Those that can't disappear

"MMM"-"Mane Emma Tilde".

The MMM engraved on the church bell tower, the MMM engraved on the
lighthouse, the MMM
engraved on the tree in the smoke of the gunpowder, the MMM that
Mathilde engraved in his heart time and time again when looking for Mane...
Cruel wars can be destroyed Everything is lost, but MMM, which symbolizes the love between Mane and Mathilde, can never be destroyed.

Some people say that "Long Engagement" is about the truth of war, not love. I really don't want to agree with this statement.
The albatross in childhood and the "albatross" flying by on the battlefield, the former is love, the latter is war.
One represents hope, and one represents death.

Mathilde clung to the hope in his heart, so death finally revealed its insignificance in the face of perseverance.
If I reach the curve before the car, then Mane will come back alive;
if the train enters the tunnel or the conductor comes to check the ticket before I count to 7, then Mane is not dead;
if the big dog is ahead of the uncle in the room Ask me to eat, then Mane will not die;
if the apple peel remains unbroken, then Mane will not die...
This time and again hypothesis has become a woman's hope for her lover, again and again. She does not give up.

In the face of Mathilde's determination to love, this mankind's most serious and most ridiculous big project-war, is nothing.
Ding Na, a prostitute, implements a revenge plan for her lover who died on the battlefield. She is not afraid of death. This is because of what.

Is this world ugly?
A war may condense all the weaknesses of mankind: selfishness, greed, contradiction, hypocrisy, contention, deception, insidiousness...
and love, but can accommodate all the suffering and vulnerability, and ultimately become the final winner of this struggle.

Mathilde’s actor is my beloved "Angel Emily". If Emily is an angel floating in life, then Mathilde is an elf that settles in life, always full of persistence. The spirit of hope.

In the end, the director did not choose to let Mane die, he chose to forget.
Mane has forgotten all the suffering and parting, and forgotten the harm that the war brought to him, he returned to the original happy time.

A reincarnation.
Beauty has never disappeared.
