Childish Idiocy
An idiotic film about a very foolish couple. I wonder at the nonsense written in various reviews. "Chafing at the oppressive bonds of the military and the expectations of 19-century high society....pressures from the world they left behind inextricably push them toward a tragic decision." They both made irresponsible choices & their fate was the consequence of those choices & NOT in any way society's fault. The choices they made leading to their death were childish & the result of their wrong choices was due only to those wrong choices. "....facing persecution until death would unite them in the afterlife." What nonsense! It wasn't persecution they faced but the consequence of their stupidity. And the afterlife? What idiocy! What "afterlife" is the writer talking about? Certainly not the heaven described in the Bible. I could with more certainty I think state that in the aftelife they would experience eternal separation from each other.....
