Ever since I knew there was this movie, I had a desire to watch it, not because of the actors, not because of the preview, or even because of the plot, but just because of the title - the light between the oceans, I was attracted at first sight.
The film is very beautiful, as beautiful as the title. The picture is soft, the framing is very good, and the people watching are very comfortable and quiet. The male and female lead actors are also good. I am not a fan of the male and female protagonists. After watching this film, I want to become a fan. Especially the female lead is very sincere, and the little actors are also very cute. The story is not bad. I haven't read the novel, but I personally feel that the film is relatively compact. There are basically no impatient paragraphs for more than two hours. The final ending is very moving. I'll definitely watch the original if I get a chance.
Although no one wanted to hurt others, everyone was hurt in the end. Who is to blame? In fact, it is all to blame for the villagers who harassed the Germans, but the root cause of all chain reactions should be war, and the theme should be anti-war. Although everyone was injured, everyone was also happy. Although the hero and heroine went to prison, they got the joy of being a parent; the second girl lost her husband, but experienced the happiness of her daughter's loss and recovery; although the daughter lost her adoptive parents, she received the love of her adoptive parents and the love of her biological mother. Get a better education and family environment, should also be happy.
Think of none of them doing anything wrong. There was nothing wrong with the heroine not letting her husband report the shipwreck, because she didn't know that the girl's mother was still alive at the time, so sending the girl to an orphanage would be better than being adopted by the hero and heroine. It's not wrong for the male protagonist to indirectly inform the biological mother. The girl has the right to know her life experience, and the mother also has the right to know that her daughter is still alive. It's not wrong for the biological mother to not let her daughter see her adoptive parents. The daughter is the only one left in the world by the person you love the most. Are you willing to share it with others? There are a few loopholes, why is the heroine willing to live on an uninhabited island? There is no background to explain, is it because of the male coach? The female protagonist is pregnant, why can't she raise the baby in her mother's house, otherwise she won't have two miscarriages. The bones of the Germans can be excavated for autopsy. There is no trauma or poisoning. There is no suspected crime and no murder can be charged.
However, the loopholes do not prevent this film from becoming an underrated classic. I believe that people who are already parents will feel more emotional after watching it.
