David on the poster is exactly what Sophia said: such serious eyes, such a serious face. He has a heart that is difficult to open to anyone, and he walks alone in this strange land, from Bulgaria to Denmark... This is a film based on Anne Holm's novel of the same name. The English name is I AM DAVID, and these are the first words he says from the plane to his long-lost mother. This is a story about a child growing up. Despite the hardships along the way, I believe he can finally accept this beautiful but cruel world.
He was imprisoned in a concentration camp since he was a child, and he was full of doubts about the world, but more of a fear, because the tragedies around him were scene after scene, and one of his closest uncles stood in front of him for a piece of soap he stole. was shot dead by soldiers. He thinks about more issues, and the one that makes him yearn most is freedom, he believes that "freedom will change some things". An officer in a concentration camp fulfilled his dream of freedom, and handed him a letter, giving him a direction. After a long journey, he needed to go to a faraway country called Denmark and hand over the letter to the local government, And this officer is also the murderer who killed the uncle who helped him bear the crime. While handing the letter to him, the officer told him: "The world outside the camp is also a dangerous place, don't trust anyone"; and the uncle who was killed had told him the night before his death that a man Need help from others. His recollections were of watching his parents being taken away, and he had no way of discerning whether the two methods were correct or not. And when he runs away, he has to learn to discriminate...and learn to smile.
Although he has experienced the cruel and bloody reality of war, when he breathes the fresh air, looks at the blue sea and the beautiful countryside, and looks at the strange and peaceful people, his eyes are full of doubts but can't see a trace Ruthless, he even risked his life to save Maria's life by breaking into the burning hut. He got through time and again by helping others, and the strangers who gave him tips and gifts and reciprocations gave him more reason to smile. He even believed that the picture of Elizabeth with bread in her hands and a halo on her head would bring him good luck, and it was such a picture that he also gave it to Mary, hoping to bless the good Mary Leah family. I can't help but think of the surviving child of "Life is Beautiful". When he started to face the first tank of the Soviet army that rushed into Auschwitz, he should still have hope for life and dreams in the future. . Human nature is inherently good, even if war requires brutal killing, even if sacrifice is required for salvation, the conscience retained in the heart of people will always bless the continuation of the beauty of human beings.
He was lucky enough to meet Sofia, who asked him to open up and get to know himself. In the beautiful and friendly country of Switzerland, amidst the chorus of chants, he faced God and stood beside him a soldier with a gun. This was the first time he got so close to the muzzle after leaving the camp. When he cowardly said "hello", the smiling face of the soldier made him finally understand that the essence of this society is kind, as Sofia said. Most of the people in the world are good, although there are also the cruelty and bloodshed of a few people, but just like the beautiful scenery he has seen everywhere, he will never see the desolate and cruel hell on earth in the concentration camp, even though he still Encountered a conflict during a demonstration. He finally smiled, genuinely and happily...
The film finally gave the letter a happy ending. It turned out that the concentration camp officer was in love with David's mother, and he risked his life to forge a fake identity for her to let her escape from the concentration camp. And she always thought her husband and children had been killed in concentration camps, and after coming to Denmark she wrote a novel based on her own experience. The officer did the same for David again, putting David's identification in the letter and sending him to Denmark so that he could find his mother. At the end of the movie, David got off the plane and greeted his haunted mother. The only words he said were: I AM DAVID. The process of sending letters through thousands of hardships is a process of finding a mother, but also a process of finding oneself, finding life, and finding the truth of society...
Finally, I strongly recommend the ending song, "Cold Water" sung by Damien Rice. Holy
" lord.. can you hear me?
or am i lost?"
