Last Monday afternoon I was feeling so lazy
after lunch that I started channel-hopping until I found "War and Peace",
a film based on the novel by Tolstoy that relates the French invasion
of Russia by the Napoleonic army.
It was beginning in that moment and I
stopped because I wanted to watch it since I watched the movie "The Last
Station" some days before, which tells the story of this famous author. I
liked the film and I wanted to watch "Ana Karenina" and "War and
Peace" because they were his best novels.
The story is seen through the eyes of
five Russian aristocratic families. The film is very long and there
happen different love stories, but the principal is Natasha and Andréi's one.
They fall in love with each other but he
wants to respect his father's will: not to marry her yet, leave for war and
stay there for a year (his father real intention is make him forget her because
he doesn't like her). The couple know that it will be hard but both accept.
A year is such a long time and the History
continues with its troubles...
I will tell no more so I don't spoil the
story, but let me say it's a good film (although I would say it's not a film,
but a mini-serial...what a extremely long film it is!) and there are fantastic
actors. It's very moving too, I couldn't stop crying at the end of the film! I
like how the characters evolve along the story too. They change so much!
In closing, I leave you a quote I liked
from the movie:
"Life
can bring you where you would never dare to go with your imagination"
And here's the trailer: (it's 9 minutes
long, but bear in mind that the film has four parts of 100 minutes
each one)
