This is the story about a war. A woman waits for her husband. He goes to battlefield. She really worries about her husband. She has nightmare again and again. The nightmares are about husband's fighting. Her husband is killed again and again in her dream. One day, her husband comes back to her. She feels easy. However, she look an ear. That is enemy's one. She was surprised. She think he is not former him.
This story is too difficult for me. However I really think about this movie. Why is she does not want to touch by her husband? It is difficult program. They love each other and she waits for him for a long time and meet him? The war is so sad. The war is makes him that he is not former him. The woman may be sick of mental.
Please watch this movie, and think about this movie and war.

During war time, a woman waits for her husband in a cabin in the deep woods alone. She bears the absence of her husband in front of people, but her heart is torn for her supposedly dead partner, agonizing how he was suffered at his last, and she starts to see nightmares. However, when it turns out that her husband has actually been alive, true nightmare begins to afflict her.
When I watch this film, my first impression was "shocking." It is not any sort of documentary film but it certainly depicts a fear of war. I cannot forget the Japanese soldier's glaring eyes, staring straight at the protagonist. I ultimately shared the same fear as she feels about the war theater and anxiety for her husband's life. During these scenes, my heart beat faster and faster, and the scenes were even intensified by being shot in the darkness, which inflamed terror in me.

The Embers is a serious short movie. A young woman is waiting for her husband who is a soldier coming back from world war. She worries him until her mind become funny. Therefore she watches hallucinations that he is killed by an Asian enemy again and again. She sends uneasy days.
I like this story. This describes change of human mind by the war and the figure of suffering woman from the feelings she can not control. The pictures are very realistic. It tells us the horror of war. However, the pictures are slightly fierce for me. The dishes she uses are good thing but not brand-new. It expresses that era which is not rich at all.
Anybody do not watch this movie without thinking about war. It is a very nice. This movie is very wonderful because this includes that important things in only 12 minutes. I really think that this story is constructed well.

The story is about a wife who lives in remote house in winter, waiting her
husband to return from the World War II. She has a bad dream about her
husband that keep bothering her. But after his return, she has a new fear.
The movie has only three characters, but most of the film focus on the
life of housewife. We can basically understand what is she worrying according
to her hallucinate and the way that the movie try to present her husband's
photos. There is some dialogue at the beginning and around the ending of the
film, which is really hard to understand because of the accent. But it is not that
important to the main plot since most of them are being told by visual story
telling.
I think the main message that the movie want to show is at the end of the
movie, portrait from the real situation after soldier return home after the war.
Most of them have changed. The movie shows concrete situation that may
happen to many household in the war era. Which I think tis is a strong point of
this movie.
There is a woman whose husband went to war. She watches hallucination while she does house work and sleeps. Suddenly, Japanese army appears in front of her and tries to kill her. She is afraid of and strikes him with tea cup. However, he disappears and she gets hurt her hand. After that, her husband came home and he talks about war with her. She picked up bag and open. There are fingers of Japanese army and she is very surprised. However, he talks about them with philosophy. At last, she cried.
First, I couldn't understand this movie's message. Mr.Alec explain about it, I could understand a little. Probably, I think that she found that he changes after coming home. He talks about war with philosophy. If I were him, I will talk about war with wept tears of regret. I think that War made him changed, so I was scared very much.
