"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

author:Xie Wei 1165

Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy, the great Russian critical realist writer of the mid-19th century, whose masterpiece "War and Peace", is an encyclopedic epic that has been put on the screen many times, and today, I have the privilege of catching a six-episode TV series of the same name directed by the famous British director Tom Harper in 2015, which is quite infectious.

Andrei Paulkonsky, the young duke, handsome, masculine and handsome, although the first male protagonist of the film is Pierre Bezukhov played by Paul Dano, in my heart, Andrei is more of a flesh-and-blood life of the bloody young nobles of that era, and he is the well-deserved first protagonist. André, when he first appeared, as a young man, showed his aversion to aristocratic life—"for I am tired of such a life, the parlor, the gossip, the ball, the vanity," he replied when Pierre asked him why he chose to join the army. At that time, he longed for glory and merit, and eagerly hoped to fight on the battlefield in order to escape the aristocratic cage that made him "feel unable to breathe". So he sent his wife, who was about to give birth, to the countryside and threw himself into the battlefield alone. However, he did not know that this seemingly ordinary parting had become an eternal trick when he said goodbye.

Finally arrived at the battlefield of his heart, he fought bravely, he was a pioneer, the blood stained his eyes, he carried the military flag to charge the battle, but the enemy stabbed him hard at the waist.

He fell on the grass, looked at the high-flying white birds and the far-reaching sky, and let out a deep sigh: "How beautiful! He suddenly felt regret: "Why have I never paid attention?" Mosquitoes crawled all over his face, and he realized, "We are nothing, far less than this clear blue, endless sky." This was Andre's first experience of war and the first turning point in his life.

After returning home injured, he faced a death sentence. His wife had difficulty giving birth, and he only had time to see her before he was pushed out of the delivery room, separated from the door. Listening to his wife's painful hoarse voice, he could not help but rush in, but he was still turned away. Agitation, pain, weakness. Finally, a baby's cry made him smile and rekindle hope, but when the doctor came out covered in blood and shook his head, the light in his eyes was instantly extinguished. Pushing the door in, the haggard and pale wife fell asleep quietly, the hem of the white dress stained with blood, a bed of wolf. He approached and kissed her hand, only to find that she would never open her eyes again.

The feeling of this moment is like what he later said in a conversation with Pierre, "I am like staring into the abyss". The wife left little Niguruska and left early. Andre finally understood that no amount of honor and merit could compare to the peace and health of his family, and at this moment, his "only goal is to live for himself" for those who love him, trying to live. He stopped clinging to glory and returned to his own life and took care of his estate. However, he was not happy. Luckily, he visited the house of the Duke of Rostov and met the beautiful, pure, and full of life of Natasha, attracted to her. After clarifying his intentions, he invited her to dance at the ball, and they walked in the woods and kissed in the snow, and he fell deeply in love with her.

In order to obtain his father's consent, Andre had to set up a one-year contract with Natasha, who promised "I will wait for you". However, the young Natasha could not resist the temptation very well, and she had an elopement scandal with Anato Kulakin, which was like a slap in the face for Andrei, who was looking forward to returning from his illness. His pride did not allow him to bow his head and concede defeat, and his dignity did not allow him to marry such a frivolous and prodigal woman. Thus, their relationship came to an end. Napoleon's attack became more and more fierce, and André returned to the battlefield, busy with the war, and rushed several times. Finally, in a fierce battle, he stared at the bomb that fell in front of him, completely unable to hear the cries of his companions to "lie down", and in the loud sound of "boo", blood stained the battlefield. He was carried to a makeshift rescue tent, where doctors cut open his clothes and treated him. At his side was another wounded man, and the doctor was showing him his sawn-off left calf, who was tearing his heart and lungs apart with a roar. Andre heard that it was Anato's voice, and he turned his head and called out to him, and Anato looked back at him and cried, "Pity me, see what they have done to me." Andre held out his hand and took his hand, tightly.

Follow-up treatment is not ideal, they travel all the way, on the way to exile met Natasha's family, Natasha took the initiative to take care of him, they exchanged heartfelt words, mutual understanding. Andre frankly opened his heart, hovering on the brink of life and death, he finally realized: "I have learned that people can love all things." He admitted that he had hurt her: "I cruelly left you, cruelly broke my feelings with you." Perhaps, people's growth always has to experience such and such hidden pains, twice through the battlefield, twice witnessing the cruelty of war, corpses all over the field, blood flowing, on the battlefield by the baptism of blood and fire, Andrei suddenly enlightened. He saw the fragility of life, and in the rapidly changing battlefield, no one could guarantee that he would live to see the sun of tomorrow. Life is so precious, it is a grievance, a dignity and honor, in the face of life, what is it? So he let go, and this time, completely, truly, truly.

After the ice with Anato and Natasha, his soul was deeply soothed. At this time, how grateful I am to Tom Harper for his kindness in reuniting Andre with his dear sister and son before he was born. He said to his sister, "Don't cry here," and he looked at his beloved son and gave him his final exhortation: "Be happy, Nigurushka." Be my pride. I know you will." Before dying, he seemed to see his deceased wife through the light outside the window, and he chased after the light, trance back to his original love of Natasha, pure and innocent, igniting his life. Finally, after a brief look back, he chased the light away, melting into the orange-red sun.

Andre spent his whole life chasing the light, and at first he thought that glory was his light, so he left his wife who was about to give birth and went to the battlefield alone. When he finally understood that war was not the light he was seeking, his wife had gone before him. He was depressed and full of guilt for his wife. When he meets the innocent and pure Natasha, he can't help but fall in love with her vigorous vitality. She is like a small sun full of enthusiasm, always bringing endless joy to the people around her. Fate tricks people, when he faces Natasha's scandal, suddenly realizes that this is not the light he has been after. His light should be pure and unblemished and untainted. When war came, he paralyzed himself with busy affairs, and when death came, he chose to forgive, because he finally understood that only love is the light that should be chased.

Pierre Bezukhov, a character who runs through the play. Some viewers commented that he was the author's inserted figure, and in order to make him a witness to war and peace, I agreed with this view. At the beginning of the film, I did not like this trivial, sloppy, political news, full of reverence for Napoleon, the fat aristocrat, even in the uniform of high society, he did not look like a real nobleman. He was crazy drunk, and he partyed with a group of fox friends until dawn, with empty ambitions, but cowardly, even if he promised his friend Andrei not to interact with that group of people, he still could not resist the temptation and ran to spend the day and drink. His guardian, The Duke of Kuragin, waited for an opportunity to seize his inheritance of the title, but he was unaware of it. He has a deep crush on Natasha, who grew up with him, but because of his low self-esteem, he cannot open his mouth to express his love to her. His father, Count Bezukhov, had run out of oil after two strokes and begged the Duke of Kurakin to bring him home to see him one last time. However, the distraught Pierre, too timid to see his father, jumped out of the carriage on the way to visit his father and went straight to the residence of the Count of Rostov, for reasons that I thought were ridiculous - "Today is Natasha's naming day". When I saw this, I once thought that Pierre was a stupid boy who had no sense of responsibility and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and his father was critically ill, but he was delayed for such a ridiculous reason on the way to visit! Fortunately, a series of events that followed changed my view of this unassuming little man. His relative, the Duke of Curakin, after unsuccessful attempts to seize his inheritance, took the initiative to the head of Pierre's wife, the Countess. At a gathering of nobles, he joins forces with Mina to introduce his beautiful but misbehaving daughter, Helen, to Pierre.

The simple Pierre soon loses under Helen's pomegranate skirt, which is very good at dealing with men, and the two quickly marry. However, after receiving the title of "Countess", Helen soon revealed her true face, and her flattering attitude towards Pierre before marriage took a sharp turn, and Pierre soon found that the true love he thought was just a hot spot for him. This young aristocrat, who had once admired Napoleon and fantasized about doing something big, was tormented by the unfortunate married life. Even so, his good heart never changed. He invited his friend Dolokov to his house, but Dorokov coveted his beautiful wife, blatantly took food from his plate and said frantically: "It's funny, what other people's bowls are always better." At another aristocratic dinner, when Dorokov took the food from his plate again, he finally couldn't bear to overturn the tableware and issued a battle declaration: "I will duel with you"! In the white snow, the two confronted each other, and Pierre, who could not even use a pistol, was extremely determined at this moment: "But I feel that I must persevere to the end." There was a firm light in his once cloudy eyes, and at this moment, he finally picked up his dignity. When that shot went out, he didn't even think it would hit. His face was full of confusion and confusion, and when he saw Dolokov fall to the ground, his kind disposition prompted him to rush forward and try to help him up. In this duel, he won. Yet there was no joy of victory. After saying "stupid" three times in a row, he turned and staggered away. The cold weather seemed to permeate the bottom of his heart, and he was surrounded by helplessness and felt that life was full of death and lies.

He left home and went to a secluded town to share a hotel with a stranger. The middle-aged man told him, "Child, God is not understood by reason, but through life." In this way, he joined the Freemasonry and, after a long period of thought, decided to forgive his cheating wife. However, Helen still does not change her rotten life, and she always sleeps on the bed with all kinds of men, without remorse. Pierre was still unhappy. He left home again, went to his farm, and decided to do something for Russia. In fact, the audience of "God's Perspective" can clearly see that Pierre does not love Helen, and he has never forgotten Natasha from beginning to end. However, the kindness of his heart made him step by step, and he never spoke of this love. His friend Andre won the favor and came to him to ask for advice. The sweetheart is about to become the fiancée of someone else, and Pierre is undoubtedly bitter and hesitant in his heart. Despite this, he still chose the blessing, encouraging Andre to boldly pursue his love and bury his loss in his heart. In this moment, I really saw that this young man's heart had never changed in kindness. He misses his love because of his inferiority, so he encourages his friend Andre to bravely pursue what he loves, although Natasha is the best girl in the world in his heart, "a precious treasure", and despite his own regrets and loss, he still smiles and sends the best wishes. Because of Anato's seduction, Andrea and Natasha's love affair ended without a hitch. At this time, it was still Pierre, dutifully playing the role of guardian, gently comforting Natasha and saying to her: "I will always be your best friend". His kindness, his gentleness, as always, never changed. As the war continued to simmer, the form in Russia became more and more severe, and finally Pierre rode a horse to the military front where Andre was located. He was still clumsy, making so many jokes along the way that Andre's first reaction when he heard that he was going to go to war was", "We are about to face the most brutal battle, but do I still have to take care of you now?" Pierre may indeed be stupid, but he has been trying to learn to be motivated. He has taken a big step forward from a wandering aristocrat to a soldier willing to step into the battlefield today. Here, he meets an unexpected person, Dolokov, and what is even more surprising is that the first thing he saw when he was a former unruly man who hooked up with a married woman was to shake hands and say: "It is my fault, I beg for your forgiveness." Perhaps it was the cruelty of the war that made this once filthy man realize the preciousness of life and how unbearable his behavior had been.

In this way, Pierre went to the front, riding one man and one horse, alone. He finally saw what war was like, with lots of gunfire, intense tension, severe limbs and broken arms all over the place. He went with an artilleryman to get the bomb, and when he came back a bomb fell from the sky and he flew out. I thoroughly appreciated Director Tom Harper's handling of the details in this place, where Pierre was swept to the ground by the air currents, and everything was silent, the sky was spinning, and there was a sharp tinnitus. He staggered forward, and the soldier who had just run ahead of him was scorched black and no longer breathing. He laid his hands on his forehead, closed his eyes, and wept. At this moment, he deeply felt the fragility and heaviness of life. Back in Moscow, he made a groundbreaking decision - assassinate Napoleon! At night in his mansion, he drank with the soldiers who occupied his house, set out Napoleon's whereabouts, and talked about his heart: "There are many women with whom I have interacted, but I have only loved one woman in my life, and she will never belong to me." Here, I was touched by his singleness, there are so many beautiful scenery in life, but he only loves this one. Awakened in the middle of the night, Pierre decided to put it into action, he went to the table to get a knife, and hurried into Napoleon's palace in the dark of night. In order to help the woman find the lost little girl, he rushed into the burning inner courtyard, hugged the crying girl, and was captured to rescue a Russian woman who was insulted by the French soldiers. During the struggle, the knife he had hidden fell, and he was identified as an "arsonist and assassin" and was taken to the execution ground the next day. One by one, the people in front of him were shot, and Pierre was terrified, and he stared nervously at the fewer and fewer people in front of him, from anxiety to relief, with a sound of "fire", one life after another passed before his eyes. How fortunate it was that after killing the last man in front of Pierre, the French officer said "enough". At this moment, he closed his eyes, and he suddenly realized that just living is precious: "Everything is actually very simple, really. The world wants us to love. It's not hard, it's simple." As a prisoner of war, he had to go out with the army, and fate, after teaching him how to grow, taught him how to live. He met Platon Karataev—a poor captured soldier, a soldier who had been on the battlefield for more than a decade but had never killed a single person, a kind man who was willing to share the last potato with him in such a hungry and cold situation.

The first time they met, Pradon told him, "Now that you have suffered, you will be blessed, and everything will be fair." In such a dilemma, the optimism and strength he lived out was shocking and greatly shocked Pierre. He taught him the "salt and small bite" method of tasting potatoes, because "who knows if this is the last potato in your life". Loving life and cherishing everything you have in front of you, even if it is just a potato, is undoubtedly the most precious lesson that Pierre has learned in his life. After a long journey and the coldest winter in Moscow, without enough clothes and food, they were hungry and cold, and Pradon soon fell ill. His shoes were damaged, his bare feet were in the snow, and both feet were covered in blood. He coughed incessantly and could not keep up with the march, and Pierre tried to help him accompany him, but was ruthlessly driven away by the officers and soldiers. The moment Pierre looked back and heard the gunshots behind him, he closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. Pradon died in the snow, and at the moment of his death, only his dog, Sashenka, was with him. The vast snow covered the mourning everywhere, pedestrians came and went, no one paid attention to the soldiers who were gradually covered by the wind and snow, Napoleon swept by in a sleigh, behind him, was buried a heavy history. The road seemed to have no end, and neither of them would have imagined that they would meet in such a way when Dolokov had made a plan to kill the Frenchmen stationed there to rescue the prisoners. Pierre called for dolokov's help, and they hugged each other in the snow, and Pierre shouted three times in a row: "My friend." In the wind and snow, the past is no longer important, all they have to do now is to face the future.

Waking up from the warm bed, Pierre was in a trance, "I'm still alive, right?" The bitterness and bitterness along the way are transformed into gratitude in a sentence of "alive". He sat at the table ready to eat, but put it down again at the moment of entrance, cut the potatoes, sprinkled them with salt, and took small sips. He smiled, but his eyes couldn't help but get wet. When the dust settles, I meet the Duke of Kulagin on the road, a cunning man who used to be scheming to get his property, but this moment is full of frost. One of his sons and daughters died. Pierre chose to forgive and helped him take him home. Along the way, Pierre finally grew up, and the only person he loved from beginning to end was the one. After visiting Miss Maria and reuniting with Natasha, after a fierce ideological struggle, he finally decided to confide in Natasha. So, going around, the once cowardly boy finally grew up, and Natasha, who was once frivolous and childish, finally matured. They enter marriage and live happily together.

It turned out that everything was the best arrangement. Don't have to worry hard, don't have to complain, as long as you love life and have a soft heart, we will definitely wait for the end that belongs to us. As Pierre says at the end of the film: "As long as there is life, there will be happiness." There is a lot of happiness waiting for us."

Pierre was undoubtedly lucky, and despite all the suffering, he finally reaped happiness. All the way to growth, all the way to the transformation, but what has not changed is his soft and gentle heart, kind disposition, so that he out of hope in a desperate situation and regain a new life.

Nikolai Rostav, this is a contradictory three-dimensional figure. He and Sonia, who lives in his home, also admits that he loves her and promises her that "I will never give up on you, never."

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

But his true colors were wandering, and he could not guarantee where his heart was. After joining the army, his ugly state was once disgusting: the enemy was outnumbered, and after seeing the decline of the war, he ran away on horseback, accidentally rolled off his horse and ran down his nose, begging the army that came to help "don't kill me, my arm is injured." After returning to the army, he and his friends prostitute himself, betraying his love affair with Sonia. After meeting with Andrei and others, he exaggerates his bravery and fearlessness on the battlefield, appearing hypocritical and eager to make quick gains. Back at home, his sister Natasha shows him how much Sonia loves him, and he says again that "I will never break my word". However, when he slept with other women, he never thought about whether Sonia would be sad. But there is no denying that he does have a good heart. After his friend Dolocf was seriously injured in a duel with Pierre, it was he who took care of Dolochf and paid for his medical expenses. He really regarded Dorokov as his friend, so much so that later, when Dorokov's proposal to Sonia was rejected, he deliberately let himself lose to him in a gamble in order to comfort his friend, for a total of 43,000 rubles. Such a simple child may only be cultivated by such a joyful, enthusiastic, simple and sincere family as Rostov. His love is wobbly, and he once took Sonia's hand and told his parents that he wanted to marry her when the family was gradually declining; but after he met and helped Maria on the battlefield, he fell in love for a long time.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

This man, or boy, he's not mature. He swung left and right between the two women, and even finally when Sonya wrote to tell him that their engagement was canceled, he was greatly relieved and said "thank goodness". He may have only a responsibility to Sonia, the sustenance of the innocent and ignorant youth love of his youth. When he meets his true destiny, he suddenly realizes that he is not good enough. After the war, the family fell, the position was removed, and the man's self-esteem prompted him to start running away. Sonia stepped forward and asked him if it was because of himself, and he confided the truth "because the family was poor", and Sonya said, "She deserves happiness".

After Sonia's admonition, Nikolai finally came to visit, and at this moment, the boy grew up, standing in front of his sweetheart, frankly admitting his mistake: "I used to be too impulsive and reckless, and I should pay for it." Mary's heart never changed, and they were finally together.

Petia Rostav, the younger brother of Nikolai and the youngest son of the Rostav family. When he was a child, he loved to wield his brother's sword, and when the war became more and more fierce and the family moved, he was even more obstinate and insisted on joining the army. This year, at the age of fifteen, he had become a soldier delivering letters to the front. His face was still young, but he had a firm conviction.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

He followed Dolokov in disguise, went deep into the enemy camp, and brilliantly completed the task of spying on the enemy. He still had the softness of a young man, and when he was chatting with the soldiers, he would share with him the raisins he had brought at home, and he would ask the other party to open the blade for him, and it turned out that the sword he was holding was a bladeless sword. At night, he slept with his clothes in the cold snow. This once young child has grown into a brave soldier willing to die for his country. Unfortunately, in the process of blocking the French army, he was hit by a shot from the enemy, and blood splashed on the spot. This young and still young boy dried up the last drop of blood in his young body for the sake of his beloved motherland.

Of the many female characters, I like Sonia the most, followed by Maria, and then Natasha.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

Natasha also has a kind and innocent heart, sympathy for the weak, care for the wounded soldiers, although she was too frivolous at a young age, credulous that others caused irreparable harm to Andre, but through the fire and turmoil, she matured. While caring for Andre, she seriously reflected on her mistakes: "I was like a child, irresponsible for what I did", "My behavior was so bad that I didn't expect to hurt you". Life may be to grow up in constant mistakes and setbacks, and gradually understand that some misses cannot be remedied, but after experiencing these shortcomings, life will be more perfect. After sending Andre away, she was alone and finally grew up.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

After receiving Pierre's confession, she pondered all night. Fortunately, she is finally willing to let go of the past, face the future, accept this new relationship, and understand whose innocent and innocent heart she left behind when she was a teenager.

Maria was the only daughter of the Borconsky family, and her noble status doomed her to a variety of men around her. Just because she was mediocre, she didn't have many suitors, mostly just for the power she represented and her rich dowry. She also longed for love, but after Anato came with his father to propose to her, she completely shattered the idea of marrying.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

In fact, she is a very kind and decisive woman, but because of her father's strength, she overly suppresses herself, and she is inferior and depressed every day. The old duke was patriotic and enthusiastic, and under the impetus of passionate and generous emotions, he insisted on going to the battlefield, and he rode fast but unfortunately suffered a stroke and fell off his horse. The French offensive was fierce and about to occupy Moscow, and in desperation, Maria left home with her seriously injured father. On a farmstead, the old duke died.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

I watched this part three times, and each time I couldn't help but burst into tears. On his deathbed, the old man said to his daughter, who had always been unassuming: "Daughter, forgive me." "Put on your wedding dress, I like it." At this moment, Mary could not cry, she finally understood that her father had always loved himself, and it was because of love that he overly restrained himself, was kind to guests, lost his temper with himself, and no matter what he did, he was not good enough in his eyes. It is precisely because of love that he will play with the people closest to him, and be harsh and harsh on his favorite daughter, because he does not want his daughter to marry and leave him, so he criticizes her for not looking good in a skirt. At this moment, Mary finally understood that this eccentric old man had a deep love for herself, so she let go of the depression and unfairness in her heart for many years, completely abandoned the inferior and weak self in the past, and strongly supported the family.

After a request to evacuate the manor serfs was rejected, she quickly dispatched her maid and housekeeper to the army for assistance. So lucky, when love comes, so unexpected. She meets Nikolai, a good soldier who has grown into a man through war. Nikolai escorted her all the way out, and their interaction was sweet and warm, and even the casual glance was full of strong love.

After the war, she moved back to Moscow to visit the now-de-depressed Rostav family. She was kind, generous, warm and gentle, and invited Natasha and her mother to come and live with her. Nikolai, frustrated by his poverty and career, was unable to face Mary. Thankfully, under the persuasion of Sonia, he finally recognized his own intentions, stood in front of Maria, admitted his past recklessness, and showed his heart. Mary didn't care what other people thought, she had been waiting for Nikolai, the lovers who had grown up in the war, and finally became a family member and married.

Sonia's view of love is what I admire the most, and it is what I think true love should look like. Faithful and single-minded, unswerving to death.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

She grew up in the Rostav family, is Nikolai's cousin, green plum bamboo horse, two small unsuspecting, deeply rooted in Nikolai's love. She and Nikolai kissed in the flower room, and they were very affectionate. She said to Natasha, "All I know is that I will always love Nikolai, and no matter what happens to me or him, I will love him for the rest of my life." Her love for Nikolai never changed because of the shift in time and space, even though Nikolai promised her when she was young, "I will never give up on you" and "I will marry you", but she never had the luxury of being able to marry him.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

She is strong, independent, intelligent and capable, and when the naïve and ignorant Natasha is about to elope with Anato, she hits the nail on the head and tries to dissuade "what if he just wants to seduce you"? Natasha was deceived, did not listen to advice, and even used harsh words to hurt people, saying to her: "You go out, I hate you". However, she remained adamant in maintaining the friendship and denounced the Countess, so that the elopement plan eventually collapsed. At the end of the Great Patriotic War and the decline of the Rostav family, Nikolai met Maria, who clearly felt unwelcome in the family. Nikolai's hesitant retreat pained her, so she chose to withdraw voluntarily and wrote to him: "Dear Nikolai, I have decided to dissolve the marriage contract between us." The sun was shining outside the house, everything seemed to be light and cloudy, and only she knew how much her heart ached when she wrote this letter. Maybe this is true love, for his happiness, even if he is in pain, he must choose to let go.

She encourages Nikolai to pursue Maria, and Nikolai asks her, "How can you make such a sacrifice?" She just whispered, "That's because I'm used to it." Accustomed to forbearance, accustomed to wronging themselves, accustomed to perfecting others. However, such a habit is not love? Just because I want you to be happy, I'm used to taking it for myself. At the end of the film, everyone has their own home, but Sonia is always alone.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

She watched Nikolai and Mary's ears grinding, the children in pairs, and the smiles of happiness on her face, and she should be relieved in her heart. As long as Nikolai could be happy, even if she could only watch from a distance, it was enough.

Helen Kulakin, one of the most repulsive female characters in the whole series. Wandering skeletons, watery poplar flowers, lust for riches, and eventually self-destruction. She has a radiant beauty, but no good heart to match.

"War and Peace": The flames of war have been extinguished, and the love is still on fire

She hates politics, but in order to mess with young and handsome men, she lies about how interested she is in politics. She tried her best to seduce Pierre, and immediately abandoned the countess after receiving the name of the countess and the inexhaustible wealth. She seduces all kinds of men, but she doesn't know that in the hearts of these people she is just a plaything. Eventually, after messing with an officer, she became pregnant and her belly grew larger, and she wrote to Pierre hoping for a divorce, however, Pierre was still a prisoner of the French army, and she could not receive her letter when she went forward with the army. She was terrified, lest she become the laughing stock of high society. She asked the doctor to dispense her own medicine, one drop a day. Her worst fears finally happened, and when she attended the banquet, the men and women who had been friends in the past had no one to take care of her, and she was driven out by the organizers and staggered back to her empty house. In the darkness, she roared, roared, and hysterically. Eventually, she rushed into the bedroom and poured the bottle of abortion pills down.

At dawn the next day, the sun was just right, sprinkling her miserable white body, and the lower body of the white dress was soaked with scarlet blood. This debauched and absurd woman finally paid the price of her life for her indulgence.

War, smoke, youth, love. The Great Patriotic War brought to Russia not only the war, but also this group of young people who were flourishing and prosperous, who had grown up through the war, and had harvested beautiful love. The classic will always be passed on, and the film and television version of "War and Peace" can bring such a big shock to people, which is not difficult to understand why Tolstoy's "War and Peace" is a famous book.
