live with hope

I haven't read the original work, I thought it would take a long time to read the 6 episodes, but I finished it in one go, and I still have no idea.

The most touching thing is that in the context of the war era, the love, hate, and hatred arising from the flashy life can be forgotten with a smile. Forgiving others is also letting go of oneself. This sentence is simple, but it is so tangled and difficult when it really comes to oneself.

Living is probably really a practice. The life circle of the Russian aristocrats in the early 19th century described in the play was rich or expensive, but everyone had their own troubles and pains. Pierre has a character of inferiority, cowardice and entanglement formed by growing up as an illegitimate child, living in the confusion and pain of love but not being able to marry in reality; James' confusion and impulsiveness when he was young and the remorse of losing his wife, he met after rekindling the fire of love. The hatred and hurt of betrayal; the pain of losing her lover and discrediting her because young Natasha could not bear the temptation; Sonya's lifelong love for Nikolai could not be... The screen is so clear. But everyone is letting go of the past and moving towards the future.

Young people who have not experienced the cruelty of war are eager to make military exploits. After experiencing it, they are true warriors who can go to the battlefield again without hesitation. People who have experienced the war era when their country is about to break down and their family is about to die know how to cherish it even more.

Everyone is growing, living is hope, and world famous books really have a kind of upward force.

    See the truth in troubled times, and experience growth. The final result of the male protagonist is still good.

    Exquisite! I think it still fits the modern aesthetic.

War & Peace quotes

  • [first lines]

    Anna Pavlovna Scherer: But mon cher ami, how can you be so calm? This... this monster, Bonaparte - he's crossed into Austria now and... who's to say that Russia won't be next.

  • [last lines]

    Pierre Bezukhov: [voice-over] They say sufferings are misfortunes. But if I was asked, would I stay as I was before I was taken prisoner, or go through it all again? I would say for God's sake, let me be a prisoner again.

    Pierre Bezukhov: Come, let's sit and eat and give thanks for our good fortune.

    Pierre Bezukhov: [voice-over continued] When our lives are knocked off course, we imagine everything in them is lost. But it is only the start of something new and good. As long as there is life, there is happiness. There is a great deal... a great deal still to come.
