荣耀三九年

冲着卡司来看的，看之前不知道是什么题材，只知道有托比少爷和DT。一开场发现李爷爷，小雀斑，朱诺坦普尔，bill nighy这么多人把我激动坏了。

好惊悚。英国二战时期的阴谋论。

全程采用很多展现超现实主义的摄影，梦境和现实融合在一起，我都在怀疑这一切都是女主臆想出来的，至少有一部分是假的。

各种各样的巧合不太可能真正发生啊。大胆地猜测一下，女主也许是有精神上的疾病，被家人严加看护，又是战争时期，就在病房里臆想出了这一切。

例如，最后逃出房间看到家人向她温暖召唤，太超现实了吧，我认为是她没逃出来，身体极度虚弱时幻想的。五十年后重逢也可能是她那时对自己未来的幻想和期望。

当然，很大的可能是这一切都真实地发生过，但是真是这样简单的话就浪费了那么牛的摄影。私底下更希望解释成第一种。不知道有没有人有同感。本来想罗列一下“虚幻镜头”，可是通宵看完电影今天已经很晚了，拖到明天写又没感觉(其实我就是懒......)

结尾看得我wtf，不错的一部电影在最后给毁了，女主穿越时空的笑容，我get，so what？导演想通过它说明什么？度过难关的坚强？对家人的宽容？你们这俩兔崽子不把我当家人看但是我现在过得好好的原谅你们把你们当家人，恩。败笔。

英国社文课的一次作业

The main story is set in the year before World War II, drew out by the narration of an old man who is a relative of the heroin Anne and who at that time was a little boy.

Anne was an adopted child of an aristocrat family. She was a popular actress before the War started. Her father Alexander and brother Ralph were all working for the government. The family seems to live a tranquil and idyllic life. However, after the death of an old friend of the family, the peace life was gone forever. Anne accidentally found a record which contained the evidence that Alexander and Ralph were arranging an action to assassinate their political opponents in order to keep Britain out of the war. And she later found out that whoever knew about the existence of this record was killed or commit suicide. Trying to dig out the truth, she met with strong resistance. And eventually, as she was getting closer to the truth, the family grounded her in a country villa. Being secretly released by her mother, Anne chose to leave the family forever.

The movie presents three common attitudes the British people held towards war.

One is represented by the father who had gone through the World War I. They had seen the cruelty of war and chose to do their best to keep the peace, even at the cost of that the Britain might be Nazified although they did not approve Nazism. From today’s perspective, their approach was least inadvisable, but this judgment is based on one premise that we already knew the course of history. Although the policy of appeasement is doomed to fail, this attitude still enjoyed great popularity before the war broke out. Because it not only corresponded to the country’s inherently conservative bias but also met people’s requirements of avoiding mass casualties. No wonder why the father in the movie, together with the whole family, would resort to extreme measures to stop Anne. Objectively speaking, Prime Minister Chamberlain’s appeasement policy was not useless at all for it bought Mr. Chamberlain some time for updating the Air Force and the defense radar system, which set the foundation for the Churchill government.

The second attitude is represented by Anne and Hector in the movie, and Winston Churchill in reality. On the one hand, Anne was driven by her sense of justice that people should never commit atrocity even it is for the interests of the country. On the other hand, she did realize that blindly making compromise to Germany was in vain.

The last one is represented by the mother, an inconspicuous member of the family. Compared to her husband and children, she showed little enthusiasm in politics and stayed out of the whole action towards Anne. Every time she appeared on the scene, she was doing gardening. Let things drift if they do not affect one personally. This is also a feasible way to save oneself during the war time, but it is the most passive method among the three.

I think the director shows clearly in the story which attitude he favors. In the end, all the other family members died. Except Walter and his brother who was just a baby when things happened, Anne was the only one survived, which symbolizes the victory of bravery and justice.
