What impressive foreign movies have you seen?

China filmmakers gave it an exaggerated name "Broken Bridge". This is an American director's work. The original name of the film is Waterloo Bridge, which shows that the story takes place in Britain and is intriguing in itself. As the mainstay of the Allied Group in World War I, Britain has a huge colony and the most powerful state machine in the world. However, judging from the overall situation of world politics, it won World War I by resisting the violent expansion of Germany and Austria-Hungary, but its influence was very positive. Only from this perspective, this work in the shadow of war has some gorgeous ideals of pacifism. However, the main structure of the story does not describe the war, but a typical war victim-love, just like the grand ideas expressed in many Chinese and foreign classic literary works, love can not escape destruction in the war. I think it is through such a means that the most beautiful human emotions and life tragedies can gain more emotional resonance and comfort and transcend nationality and time and space. Even now, after reading this work repeatedly, I still feel flawless and impeccable (I'm not tired of watching it four or five times anyway).

The film premiered at 1940 in May, when the Second World War had just begun. Of course, the main part of the story happened during the First World War. Captain Roy, who was on vacation at home, met the ballerina Mara on the Waterloo Bridge, which was attacked by air. It was an ordinary meeting and parting, but the captain was confident and proud, but sincere and kind. For the possibility of that slim love, he went to the theater to find Mara at all costs. He's not even sure. He thought Mara turned him down, but he took it for granted despite his depression. He was ecstatic when he learned that this was not true and Mara promised to meet him secretly. Of course, Mara worships Roy because he is a hero of the people and charming. I think what is even more frightening is that they also live a depressed and hopeless life under the war, which is the root cause of this crazy love.

Roy will return to the front line of France the day after he meets Mara, and her life and death are uncertain, and Mara will soon go to the United States to perform with the troupe. Under such circumstances, love is hopeless. Their first official date was hard-won. Roy violated the colonel's invitation to a banquet at the expense of her career. After being scolded by the troupe's wife, Mara sneaked out to date the captain all night, and she had a performance the next day. Roy praised Mara unreservedly for being young and beautiful, flirtatious and affectionate when dating! He said that he was never a futurist, and he only enjoyed every minute in front of him. He warmly comforted the beautiful, pessimistic and rational Mara. He invited her to enjoy music and dance together, and they forgot to kiss. It rained cats and dogs the next day, and Mara looked in a trance. She lost Roy forever, and there was no final difference. Of course, the shrewd actress in the troupe knows all this. She gave Mara a final warning, but gave her one last chance to perform. Melancholy Mara fidgeted. She looked out the window in despair. Suddenly, she saw Roy who had been waiting for her in the rain. At this time, her reason was completely lost. Roy told her that she would postpone her departure for two days. What a precious 48 hours! Roy made a stubborn and crazy decision. He wants to seize this fleeting spiritual lifeline. He wants to marry Mara, because after marriage, Mara can go to Scotland to live with his mother until she comes back. Mara was suspicious at first. She didn't consider it because it was too unrealistic. But after Roy took her to the colonel's residence and the duke's church and made every effort to get married at once, she believed all this! She's completely in love with Roy.

Their last setback was that they missed the time of the church wedding, and English laws could never be flexible. Although he can't wait, it doesn't matter, because he still has one day. It happened that he received a military order to start early the next morning. Mara received this notice when she spent all her savings and happily bought a wedding dress. Not only did the wedding not take place, but when Mara arrived at Waterloo Station the next morning, Roy's train had already started. They didn't have time to say goodbye, and after the sweetness, it was followed by the taste of parting.

When Mara returned to her residence, her wife couldn't stand her any longer. She was fired. Good friend Katie stood up and was fired together. They soon encountered a survival dilemma, which was unsustainable. In order to survive, Katie secretly became a prostitute. However, they seem to be waiting for hope in despair. Roy wrote that his mother would come to see her. During the meeting with her future mother-in-law, Mara accidentally read the news of Roy's death in the newspaper, and she was heartbroken.

Mara once again feels grateful and guilty for Katie's contribution. In order to live with Katie, even if it was hopeless, she went to be a prostitute. Fate played a big joke. Mara, who used to solicit business at Waterloo Station, met Roy who came back alive. After a long and painful struggle, with Roy's earnest pleading and persuasion, she decided to give herself one last chance to live in the country with Roy. After all, she couldn't stand the mental torture on herself and sneaked back to London, losing her mind. Roy chased London, too, looking for her everywhere! He found Katie and determined the reason why Mara left.

Mara once again ended her young life in despair. The war brought them an encounter and an unfortunate love tragedy. What hurts me more is that if Mara never knew Roy, or even if she did, Roy didn't pursue her so lightly and enthusiastically, Mara would never die! She may have gone to America, lived a complicated life in a troupe, or met a new lover in a foreign country. But it won't happen again, because she didn't meet Roy properly! Roy destroyed Mara with the fire of love. Can be described as "what is love? Life and death expectations! "

Nearly twenty years later, World War II broke out again, and Roy, whose temples were already white, was going to the battlefield again. He passed the slippery railway bridge again. He stood by the bridge and stared at it affectionately for a long time. All this seems hopeless again. Holding the "lucky dog" left by Mara, he remembered the past and the old friend, and remembered the affectionate and heartbreaking comfort: "I loved you, I have never loved anyone else, and I will never!"
