1917 can be divided into three scenes, the first and second scenes are divided into fainting in the stairwell. The first act is a hell on earth, and the second act is that the protagonist is dying and enters the real hell. The ruins are twisted like branches, and the firelight shines in the distance, dyeing half of the sky yellow. The Germans fired flares, tried to find the British in the dark, and hunted down the hero like a hunter. The male protagonist finally ran to the place of fire, a fountain like a cross, and behind it was the city in the fire of hell. He was hunted down by the Germans who set fire to this "heaven" again.
Entering the basement again, the male protagonist is like returning home. For soldiers, the fastest way to go home is death. The hero survives and leaves the basement. It was the first time for the male protagonist and the second time in the film that the clear face of a German soldier appeared. This is a doll soldier, a faceted "human being" in hell, not a silhouette. At first the male protagonist didn't have the heart to kill him, but in desperation he killed him for self-protection. The male protagonist was chased by the "devil" and fell into the river mentioned by the woman. The river gradually slowed down, the cherry blossoms fell, and the male protagonist almost fell asleep. Falling flowers are dead flowers, floating from the shore to the water, the male protagonist wakes up and finds that there is wood in front of him blocking the corpses and petals from hell, and all deaths will be left here.
The male protagonist climbed over the corpse, left hell and death, and was reborn back to shore. Here comes the third act. The song after going ashore is not simply homesickness, look at the first few lines: I am a poor wayfaring stranger, I'm travelling through this world of woe The world, Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger, In that bright land to which I go, I'm going there to see my Father, I'm going there to meet my Father, I'm going there, no more to roam, I'm only going over Jordan, I'm going there, no more to roam m only going over home, I just want to go back home.
The male protagonist is baptized in the river and reborn. At the same time, as I said earlier, for soldiers, death is the fastest way to return home.
