The sunshine of Italy and the lovely British and beautiful people

I like this group of old ladies who have very different personalities and are all very cute and interesting. The cruelty of the war did not consume their will, they always used their own methods to face everything positively and bravely.

At the end of the film, the Scottish Allies "ordered" the old ladies to leave the front line. Mrs. Hester proudly said, "The Germans and Italians failed to drive us away, and we have no reason to give in to the Scots."

YES! Never surrender to others, always stick to yourself!

There is also Cher in this film. The story line between her and Luca is a beautiful copy of the Sicilian legend. The boy grew up, knows how to consider others, knows how to care for people, and finally saved this beautiful, generous and generous Jewish Women and many other people who suffer from fascism.

Although the whole movie talks about World War II, it does not start from a cruel point of view, but to end the cruelty. It focuses more on the tender mutual help between people and the joy of wartime suffering. The emotional resonance of art.

I believe that the protection of art by the old ladies in the film is also the protection of the beauty of human nature. Fascism is cold, ruthless and evil, but it can never defeat the beautiful human nature that is as brilliant as the Italian sun and art.

    4.5. A very heartwarming and touching group portrait movie. Although it is set in war, it is not at all heavy and preaching. Instead, it is attracted by the characters in it: the elegant and rigorous English Lady, the lovely Italian boy, the unrestrained and the amorous. The collectors of , everyone is remarkable, and many places are very moving. Who would have thought that Cher was already 53 years old when she acted in this movie, and she really had an outstanding temperament and a good look.
