Four questions:

1、What’s the main idea and the message or value of the movie that the director is going to convey?

It's about reflections of life, love and sacrifice. How find a new start from endings.

2、Find three points that most touching or what you think is the most important details(conversation、picture or plot).

A/ The three brothers with Susanna happily live together at western. Here is a comparison, the happier they are, the more sadness they will have in the future.

B/ Samuel died in front of Tristan in the war. Tristan took back Samuel's heart to bury. Susanna and Tristan fell in love with each other, but no marriage. Tristan still can not recover from losing Samuel. Facing susanna make him feel even worse. So he left, followed his heart, to some places living with nature. When he was leaving, susanna asked, if i was pregnant, will you stay? Tristan said, no! Susanna really love Tristan. But Tristan is someone you can not totally own him. He belongs to nature.

C/ Tristan healed from sadness and came back with gifts. But suanna married with his big brother Alfred. Tristan married his neighbor, I still remeber when this girl was 12 years old, she said, she will be Tristan's wife when she grow up. Many years passed, she made it! Envy her!

3、What did you learn from the movie?

Listen to your inner voice, what do you want? what kind of person do you wanna be? what kind of life do you wanna have? If you still have choice, don't push yourself to accept what life gives you, work on those you really want! To be a madman or a legend, I don't care. I only care who I am, who I am gonna be.

4、The background of the story.

A retired veteran and his three sons are living in the western on a pasture. One day, the youngest boy Samuel came back with his fiance Susanna. There are complicated relationships between them.
