Embers

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.

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.

This story makes me think about horrible war. A woman's dream is so dreadful because an enemy is going to kill her husband. She ends up suffering from mental illness.

I think the movie is difficult for me to understand minutely but when I had understood the content of the story, I thought this movie is good for children who do not experience war because they can know how fearful the war is and it is not right. In addition, an actress' performance is so wonderful because I think her performance has reality that I could not take my eyes off. Also, I fell miserable because people's personality has been changed by surroundings. This man and wife changed a complete about-face. Finally, this image is almost dusky ant it is easy to understand.

I was surprised by the ending because the movie's ending is different compared with almost all movie endings. I think teenagers do not know about war and the times in those days so they should watch and learn about it. this movie is so nice.

This is a story during World War Ⅱ. In New Zealand, a woman lives in a small house in the cold winter. She waits for her husband who have been to the battlefield. She often has a strange dream. The dream is a scene a Japanese soldier tries to kill her husband. It is terrible for her and she comes to worry about her husband more. However, he suddenly comes back to her. I imaged that they would hug each other and be delighted with their reunion, therefore I felt strange. Then she finds a human ear in the his bag, and of course, she is surprised. However, he is calm.

It takes courage for me to watch a movie about war. Because I have never experience war, it is scary for me. This is a short film, however, this expresses the tragedy of war well. I think that there may have been women like this one not only in New Zealand, but also in Japan. This is a sad story, but we should watch such movies.

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.
