The most striking thing in the film is the battlefield scene of World War I. The camera shows the pain and blood of the war before the eyes of the audience. The director Renei uses the most realistic details to show the cruelty and craziness of the battle. The romantic description in the film has changed from the habitual method of hot, Audrey Tautou has become the only warmth element in this cold film, and even her short hair style has been carefully thought out. A lame woman, persistently looking for a love dream shattered by war, Audrey Totu, with her bright eyes, successfully portrayed an intelligent, affectionate and war-weary female image. It is also worth mentioning that the film’s strong visual contrast, the peaceful pastoral life and the bloody battlefield, the picturesque Paris in 1920 and the life-eating Somme front, and the contrast between the first half and the second half of the film The themes of the screen all show the cruelty of war even more
.
The absurdity shown in the film is not only in content, but also in form. At the beginning of the chapter, the director quickly outlined the image of each character in the almost comic way he used to draw, and it also revealed a sense of humor unique to the French. This way of expression presents a sense of warmth and lightness in " Amelie ", while in the film it highlights a French-style black humor. And this "black" effect and form coincides with the theme of the film's expressing the absurdity of war. Not only that, the director also intertwined the quiet and peaceful European life with the bloody and fierce Somme front, the heroine's persistence in the face of love, and the cruelty of human nature on the battlefield, forming a very strong visual contrast. The rationality of the existence of life is demonstrated to the greatest extent, and the absurdity of war is also fully revealed.)
