Birdsong: A poignant song of love and war

I only watched American dramas before, but after watching this small drama, I realized that the British ancestors of Americans are the best at acting.
This is a short drama about love and war, one episode is 80 minutes and there are two episodes in total. The director adopts a narrative method of interlude, and the love scene is less than the war scene, but its weight is self-evident. The story has no twists and turns, no majestic war scenes, what really moved me was the performances of the protagonists.
To be honest, the male protagonist has freckles on his face, and the female protagonist can't talk about the allure of the country. But when their eyes met, the flashes of light and flint they wiped out were enough to make the hero escape several times on the bloody battlefield, looking forward to a happy time for the two of them after the war. Choosing to watch this drama was attracted by the poster. The two showed their deep love for each other in their gestures. But it's this that makes me wonder why the hero didn't try to ask the only woman he ever loved in his life why he left him in the six years since the heroine was gone. It wasn't until the heroine's death that her sister revealed the truth. It's unbelievable that it's for their children! their own children! When the two met in 1916, the female protagonist said to the male protagonist, "You were a boy." If the male protagonist was not ready to welcome the child at that time and left the partner who should be with him for life, he could only say The heroine is so foolish! What the two have is just passion and lack of communication. Well, it can only be said that the director wants to show that a boy who has been baptized by war has grown into a man, a man who can be responsible for his family. If you want to see Matthew Goode, the handsome British man, you will be disappointed. He is a soy sauce on the show and was shot in the head by the Germans at the end of the war. Miserable!
"This is not a war, this is just exploring the limits of human depravity." Although the war scene in the film is not grand, the details of the portrayal reflect the ruthlessness of war, a father who lost a child, a filthy and filthy A narrow tunnel, a British soldier hanging on the barbed wire as a target while charging... Every close-up in the war touched my nerves deeply. "When you hesitate, go forward bravely". Go forward and die! ! ! In fact, none of the soldiers on both sides wanted to go to war. When the male protagonist crawled out of the tunnel in disarray and saw two German soldiers, when he heard that the war was over, he couldn't help hugging the Germans. The war is over, may all be well!
