An anti-war film with a wasted theme

At the beginning of the movie, the two parties who were in strong conflict were placed in a narrow space, which gave me a little more anticipation and excitement. The beginning of the plot is OK, and the front stage is also well done! But suddenly, the plot collapsed when Natalie asked the hero! Many of the highlights buried before are unfinished in the end! The story line between the heroine and the little German girl was good material, but it didn't start! Have to add a romantic drama so bluntly, what about the love of the male protagonist for his ex-wife? It has only been a few months since the bombing! All anti-war thinking stopped here abruptly, which is really a pity!

    Two and a half stars. Art, music, scenery, and acting are all excellent, I really don't want to give two stars, but the plot is not only unclear but also slightly bloody. The change in the relationship between the three protagonists in the film is illogical, giving the audience a feeling that it is entirely out of the needs of the plot. The core issue of the film is to explore how to deal with the pain of losing a loved one and how to get along with others in a relatively hostile background. Looking at the whole film, the answers given on how to solve these two problems are not clear. Too much space is used to show the triangular relationship between the protagonists, but this treatment is only superficial, and fails to connect the breaking of the emotional relationship between individuals with the background of the larger environment, which causes the whole story to change. It becomes an empty shell carrying deep propositions but only superficial content. The teenage Nazi plot line is also not sufficiently connected to the main line to make any sense. In the end, the choice of the heroine adds a touch of dog blood. What a waste of good actors and exquisite costumes.
