When clinking glasses, it's all the voices of dead teenagers

Tell the story of Germany during World War II. Five good friends made an appointment to see you on Christmas that year before the war, and then two of them joined the army, one became a military doctor, one became a star and the other fled. As a result, the war lasted for 4 years, and the friends were scattered all over the world. When they finally got together, there were not enough people. When the glasses were clinking, it was all the voices of young people dying.

Lots of spoilers below.

Personally, I think the characters selected in this film are too "typical", and the plot is a bit driven by coincidence. A Jew who was persecuted and fled to join the Polish guerrillas, a singer who betrayed her color from saving her boyfriend to seeking fame, and a military doctor, two soldiers from loyalty to doubt and from doubt to numbness to save others. It can be said that it covers most of the groups in the war, or it can be said that the taste of deliberate arrangement is too strong. But just because of this kind of typicality, it is very suitable as an introductory work for friends who don't know the history of that period.

True to the title, "Our Mother, Our Father," this is a film made by future generations reflecting on war. It can be seen that "war brings out the most terrifying side of everyone". In the works, justice is not necessarily achieved. Almost the whole of Europe, including the Nazis, discriminates against Jews, kills and sets fire to gold belts, and those who join the army also get rid of loyalty and honor. The teenager became a numb and indifferent old fritters. Fortunately, there are still some works that correct mistakes, some persist, and some good things are rewarded.

But even so - the last part of the last part of the time when there were only three friends left, clinking glasses to the dead friends in the ashes tavern, complemented by joyful dance music and flashbacks of young people shining in their eyes - it really is Excessive lethality. The world of yesterday, the golden age. Sorrow with joy.

Thinking of some three good friends after the war, the remaining two formed a band named Two-thirds, the dead one scattered in the air, making the two-thirds more than a little less, and the music full and complex literature.

The work is very good, the character transformation can convince me, and it is beautifully shot. It's worth watching it again in a messy world.
