      "The Oath of Youth": A beautiful and sentimental poem

      Seeing the big from the small, there are many themes that focus on the cruelty of war by small characters. If it weren't for the delicate depiction of emotional development in "The Oath of Youth", and highlighting the splendor and beauty of youth, this is just an ordinary war film. But it really touched me. I have watched movies like "Furious" that face war directly, and movies like "Kumquat" and "Cold Mountain" that highlight the devastating war through the transformation of people and the...

      They walked into the poppy flower sea and never came back|The story of the movie "The Oath of Youth" and the First World War

      The film "Testament of Youth" filmed by BBC Films in 2014 is adapted from the autobiography of the same name written by the female writer Vera Brittain in 1933. With very restrained and beautiful brushwork, it describes the extremely tragic war 100 years ago— -The First World War, and countless young people who died here.



      The story began in the spring of 1914, when everything was still...

      Poor Vera

      I haven't read the original work, based on the small angle of the movie itself.
          When Victor uttered this sentence when revisiting it yesterday, it was when the lightning was raging outside the window.
          The hands that never left scars, because the cut was deep, the scars settled into brown, and the black was white, the surface slowly became smooth, and darkened, but it was painful to the teeth.
          At that time, for her, even before the clothes were cleaned, she jumped into...

      Movie Recommendation Testament of Youth

      The testament of youth tells about a British woman who has experienced World War I, before, during and after the war.



      The protagonist of the story, Vera Britain, met his brother's friend Roland before the war, and the two wrote poetry with each other. With Roland's encouragement and his younger brother's fight from his family, Vera was admitted to Oxford University through self-study.

      At the beginning of Vera and Roland's youth love dream,...

      A war literary film that cannot be more beautiful

      Everything in this movie is very beautiful. Especially the picture is so beautiful. In addition, the cruel description of the war is in place. The war broke up lovers, took away relatives and friends, and caused families to endure unimaginable pain. Yin and Yang are separated, life is separated, and human life is so fragile and vulnerable.

      Alicia Vikander's acting skills are very superb. From the beginning of the characterization of the characters, to gradually change due to the war,...

      129 minutes can't really be reduced to 90 minutes. If you are so unwilling to take every detail and picture, it is more suitable to use the form of a tertiary British drama. As a movie, a pure narrative without ups and downs is like a face from the beginning to the end of the heroine. Wouldn’t it be a waste of the audience’s sense of...

    Movie quotes

    • Vera Brittain: Like no one else... you share that part of my mind that associates itself mostly with ideal things and places... The impression thinking about you gives me is very closely linked with that given me by a lonely hillside or a sunny afternoon... or books that have meant more to me than I can explain... This is grand, but still it isn't enough for this world... The earthly and obvious part of me longs to see and touch you and realise you as tangible.

    • Vera Brittain: I wondered if he was looking up at that same moon, far away, and thinking of me as I was thinking of him." "'I can scarcely bear to think of him ,' I wrote, 'and yet I cannot bear to think of anything else. For the time being all people, all ideas, all interests have set, and sunk below the horizon of my mind; he alone I can contemplate, whom of all things in heaven and earth it hurts to think about most.'" Perhaps... Perhaps some day the sun will shine again, And I shall see that still the skies are blue, And feel one more I do not live in vain, Although bereft of you.

    • Vera Brittain: Her mind was like a spring-tide in full flood; rich, shining, vigorous, and capable of infinite variety.
