There is no positive description of war in the film, but the cruelty of war is revealed everywhere. The film is based on the love between the hero and the heroine as the main line of narrative, but the process of the war is interspersed in the plot, and the final tragic ending of the protagonist of the story is also caused by the war. The fighter planes that appear from time to time in the film, the hero and heroine are involved in the war, the horror witnessed by the hero when he fled in France, the horses shot on the beach when Dunkshire retreated, and the singing soldiers, all revealing the cruelty and confrontation of war. persecution by people. This is a love movie on the surface, but it is actually a war movie.
