A light story, a light wound

I was lucky enough to watch this film when it was almost 6 years after its release. It can be a sin for fans of fake movies.
After watching this film, I was troubled by a faint thought. Perhaps war and love are always pursued and never tire of topics. For me, there are always some extravagances - it turns out that war is so cruel, and love makes people's beliefs so firm. Jude Law has the heaviest role in the play, but his performance looks so natural and complements the plot of the whole film, which has to admire the director's picky about character selection. Nicole's performance is not the best, but the beautiful appearance also completely hides some of the shortcomings in the role. More often, men will only notice the number of times this stunning beauty smiles in the play.
The clue of the whole story is very simple, love is the main thread. Interspersed with war and survival, the whole play has distinct layers, and the audience saves their minds and will directly tune into the sweetness of this love. This reminds me of some domestic blockbusters in recent years. The plots are always so complicated: the stories are always so weird and bizarre: the characters are always so pale and weak, and the whole film is so boring after watching it. Until today, the few characters that survived in my mind can't tell which drama they were in, and who did what and what love. It is not that I blindly promote the shoddy production of domestic films and praise foreign films. "Cold Mountain" responded with facts. In fact, the story is very simple, but it can still be deeply remembered by fans.
In Chinese words: This love story is quite harmonious. From the first meeting of the two to the dying of the hero at the end, the two people appeared at the same time no more than 7 times. So we have to believe in the cuteness of "one love". It can strengthen a person's belief, which surpasses the pursuit of life, and can change a person's survival value. Labor is the last word.
The story begins in the hazy night, and the constantly interspersed memories make the story more intense. In the storyline of the Jewish betrayal of Inman, the woman's desire for a man, Inman being rescued by Indians on the road and being slept with by a single woman all reflect the character's loneliness. If you put such a scene in a modern setting, I think the audience will think the director is crazy. Of course this is just my assumption.
As for the whole film, it gives me the feeling that it is light, and it really has an aftertaste. Such a feeling cannot be influenced and assimilated by other films for a long time. The so-called: light story, light injury.

    The destruction and damage of human nature by war is better than that of burning love. In my impression, Nicole always has the aura of a queen, and there are few times when such a girl is shy or even stupid. I value acting more than looks, so I think Jude Law's performance in this film is much better than Wilde's. Maybe it's a problem with the characters in the script. This pair is as unfortunate as the pair in Atonement, love in troubled times
