    Why do women shame their families by going prostitutes in order to survive? Why do men who kill for the sake of war be called heroes? This kind of classical patriarchal values ​​is really not worthy of praise and inheritance.

    7.5 When I was a freshman in high school, I hesitated between this film and Moulin Rouge for a long time and then chose to watch the latter. If I had chosen to watch this film at that time, then Vivien Leigh might have replaced Nicole Kidman's position in my heart today. The love story of the squire and the commoner, the La Traviata in the 20th century, is always irresistible to this tragic love story. Although the second female is only a supporting role, her limelight sometimes even overshadows Vivien Leigh. The British Army officer is really leisurely, and he did not forget to flirt with the girl before going to the battlefield. No wonder he was hanged by the German Army. The most ironic thing is that the film was released in mid-May 1940, and the German Army swept Western Europe in the next half month. . Perhaps it is precisely because of the cruelty of the war that the preciousness of love in the very age is highlighted. It must be known that when I was still a second-year middle schooler, I had no idea how many times I had left the train station.
