A movie full of hope.

the best years of our lives.

After a certain period of time is lost, it is never too late to start again. Don't be attached to the past. It is most important to start again with new hope.

Take Fred as an example. It was painful and dangerous to be in the Air Force, but that was the most beautiful time in his life, with high salaries and many honors (in exchange for his life). But once the war is over, these soldiers are no longer useful. Their lives have to start again. No amount of honor can help them find a decent job. Because they don’t have a skill or work experience, they have His subordinates became his current leader.

Al Ken loaned to veterans who did not have any guarantees. This is a rare tenderness in the film. He saw hope in the eyes of others. Doesn't our future depend on whether we have hope or not?

Another warmth of the film is the homer's wedding at the end. When the best times are gone, I suddenly become a useless person.

But the honor of the past will remain in the past forever. As long as there is hope, there will be another golden age in the future, and our best age will always be in the future.

Isn’t the motivation to live just one hope after another?

    It's a very good story. It's a little bit ingenious to make a commercial film like this, but it's not difficult to make a literary film with existing characters. The directors and actors of the golden age were too meticulous about the rhythm of the performance. The performance of Al's performance in which he took the opportunity to drink when his daughter's fake boyfriend came to the door was very well designed, not inferior to Billy Wilder's "Passionate". Let Jack Lemmon dance the sand hammer.

The Best Years of Our Lives quotes

  • Wilma Cameron: You wrote me that when you got home, you and I were going to be married. If you wrote that once, you wrote it a hundred times. Isn't that true?

    Homer Parrish: Yes, but things are different now.

    Wilma Cameron: Have you changed your mind?

    Homer Parrish: Have I said anything about changing my mind?

    Wilma Cameron: No. That's just it. You haven't said anything about anything... I don't know what to think, Homer. All I know is, I was in love with you when you left and I'm in love with you now. Other things may have changed but that hasn't.

  • Fred Derry: I dreamed I was gonna have my own home. Just a nice little house for my wife and me out in the country... in the suburbs anyway. That's the cock-eyed kind of dream you have when you're overseas.

    Peggy Stephenson: You don't have to be overseas to have dreams like that.

    Fred Derry: Yeah. You can get crazy ideas right here at home.
