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.

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.

A woman waits for her husband to return from the war, alone and heartbroken, and also being hunted by the ghost of the same war.

The short certainly knows how to grab the viewer's attention. It starts with a slow pace, which is maintained throughout the entire short, but just when the viewer thinks that they are going to get bored, there's an incident that hook us right in. The strangeness and the surrealism of the situation let us see just how much the woman is suffering by the absence of her husband, no dialogue needed.

The placing of the setting is amazingly good, too. Without truly mentioning out loud, we know-- by the silence of the women, the state of the house, and the sad feeling of it-- that there's a war going on, and that the main character has been left waiting, and waiting.

Despite its good points, the ending is a little anticlimatic. There's no resolution for the woman, and the incident that hooked the spectator in isn't explained at all. Even when the short manages to grab our attention and have us patiently waiting through its slow pace for a resolution, it fails to deliver a satisfying explanation for just what the story is really about.

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.

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.
