There are many films depicting war, and "Franz" has a unique way to reflect the evil of war through a tragic love story brought about by war. The male and female protagonists are super high-looking, and the picture is even very beautiful, but the tragedy is to talk about beautiful things broken to show people, how beautiful love is, and how much grief there is.
The main narrative perspective of the film "Franz" is a German woman, Anna.
The story takes place not long after the end of World War I, Franz is a soldier, but he usually likes art and French culture, but he died in France because of the war. Because of his death, his beautiful fiancée Anna and his parents were immersed in deep grief.
One day, Anna went to Franz's grave to pay her respects and saw a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, and not far away stood a mysterious man with a sad look.
The man's name was Rivar, and Rivar actually didn't know Franz and didn't have much intersection, just because of the war, two different camps of people met, and in the emergency moment when the two were armed with guns, Rivar had to shoot before Franz in order to protect himself, and later found that Franz did not load the gun. Rivar felt particularly guilty about this, and with his inner troubles, he went alone to Franz's German home to seek forgiveness from his family.
In front of Franz's tombstone, Anna's misunderstanding gives Rival an excuse and follows Anna to Franz's house.
In a field, In the process of long-term mutual understanding and contact, Rival and Anna slowly accumulated a good feeling for each other, and the two stared at each other in the picture, revealing love in their eyes.
Rivar can't bear to continue to deceive the kind Anna, so he takes this opportunity to tell Anna the truth, although Anna already has a good feeling for Rivar, but the fact that she is in love with the murderer of her fiancé makes Anna unable to forgive the man in front of her.
But she also couldn't bear to tell Franz's parents the truth, so she took it all on her own, so that Franz's parents still trusted Rivar.
Humiliated and afraid to take responsibility, Rival fled back to France, leaving anna with no contact.
Anna gradually lost hope in life, and with the repeated encouragement of Franz's parents, she finally plucked up the courage to go to France alone to find Rival to express her heart. However, during her journey to France to follow Rival's narrative, she found that many things were not as wonderful as he said.
And when he found Rival himself, he learned that he was going to get married next month, which was undoubtedly a big blow to Anna.
Despite this, Anna is as brave and strong as ever. In order to reassure Franz's parents, she also lied that she had found happiness in France, hoping that they would not be concerned.
The truth is that Anna bears everything alone and lives alone in France.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Anna with her choice</h1>
The film is full of Anna's disappointment, and although she tries to challenge it with her own strength, the result is still unsatisfactory. Ben and Franz fall in love, but the other party is killed, thinking that the second spring has arrived, but the other party is a husband-killing enemy, and it is difficult to convince himself to pursue true love, but finds that Rivar already has a fiancée.
The disappointment again and again made this woman discouraged, and it is true that she has been positive enough about life, but she has been deceived by life again and again. Anna never went to war, but she was also a victim of the war.
At the end of the film, Anna makes one last choice: to stay in France.
A thought-provoking scene at the end of the film is when Anna looks at Manet's famous painting "The Suicide Man" and says, "It gave me the courage to live." "
Why did Anna say that? When I first saw "The Suicide Man", many people would think that the injured Anna would eventually choose to commit suicide. But the meaning of this painting here should be new life. The wounded, disappointed Anna was killed, leaving behind a strong, brave Anna, ready to step into a new life.
The first half of Anna's life reflects the cruelty of war, but the warmth of the film lies in leaving hope. Man can be the leader of war or the builder of hope.
