#MOVIE##Birdsong#War and love are evenly divided, but if there is no war, this film will be downgraded immediately and cannot be watched at all. The story uses interspersed methods to connect the time of war and the time of love through the hero's perspective. The love story is very simple. It is about a young man having an affair with the wife of a wealthy businessman. Well, it should be more accurate to say that. Then the businessman found out that the male and female protagonists eloped, and finally the female protagonist left the male protagonist and returned to the wealthy businessman. It was revealed at the end of the story that the reason for leaving was that the female protagonist was pregnant with the male protagonist's child, and the male protagonist first Said not to have children. Such a plot is really old-fashioned. On the other hand, the plot of the war was a bit brilliant. The most impressive thing was the dramatic death of the tunnel engineer and the male protagonist crawling out of the tunnel to meet the Germans. From the initial arrogance to when the Germans said "it's over", the male protagonist hugged the German and lost his voice. sobbing. The people of the two countries killed each other on the battlefield because of the war. They are not feuding, but the two countries have different positions. As an individual, the German people are also victims. The war in the film is not as grand as ordinary war films, but only features close-ups and small action plots to support the tension. For example: in the last battle, the scenes of British soldiers writing letters to their families are interspersed; the first male protagonist Down-to-earth fear is expressed in close-ups of verbal actions and even facial expressions; …. How should I put it, it was with the drizzle that silently showed that explosive power. The eroticism in the film is just right, not even erotic, but it shows the hunger and depression of the male and female protagonists. When an authentic worker was dying, he told the male protagonist that the meaning of life is to love and be loved, which may be the theme of the whole film. I just don't understand why the title is #birdsong#?
