Unfortunate war, endless life

I haven't seen a few films with World War II as the background. From the perspective of a "great man", "Schindler's List" tells about the heart and struggle, material and human nature, and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" expounds from the perspective of self-rewarding The cruelty of war, "A Bag of Marbles", an ordinary family reacts to the pain and struggle. The three films are about redemption, sorrow and struggle in the context of war. There are three scenes that impressed me the most in the film. First, my father slapped Joseph and told Joseph not to admit that he was a Jew anyway. Second, Joseph and his brother said that Paris was free, and their eyes were shining, but they were so relieved to let go of the burden of oppressing their lives and hearts. Third, Joseph shouted that I was a Jew to save the bookstore family. On the one hand, the hatred between people could be relieved, and on the other hand, he could finally affirm his national identity, and his nationality and belief were innocent. The ending of the film is fortunate but sad. Fortunately, a family of six can save five people under the cruel war. The sons are firm and loving. The sad thing is that the father, the soul of the family, cannot escape. You must know that the father has always been Joseph. "If I can follow through, so can my father".

In Russia, my grandfather could not escape bad luck, and in France, my father could not escape bad luck, but a family is still alive and well. The war is unfortunate, and it cannot resist the flow of life and the advancement of history.

I have always liked the bland narrative method, bland does not mean boring, bland does not mean procrastination, in bland stories, I can't understand the struggle and panic of the Joseph family all the time. The film is not without problems, and some plots are still a little weak, but as a small family sees major events, the cruelty of the war is vividly felt.

I always wondered why it was called a bag of marbles, and even gave a few close-ups, Joseph has always been holding the broken marble. What I understand is that every child has countless dreams, reflecting the brilliance in the sun, disasters come, life is limited, and the tatters are still alive, just like a little boy taking a bag of marbles when he parted. , The final choice is to break the marbles, and the life-saving in the war environment is limited. I have saved a marble, don't forget to hold on to hope, and finally have another bag of marbles~
