La France. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Fighting the war after the war. Symbolism is there, and it all makes sense as the soldiers of the past disappear, and a veteran emerges from the past after the struggle Camille takes part in to help him become present.
The musical component of the movie seems to pop up from nowhere, but does it? The poetry enveloped within these quirky lyrics probably are apt to be brushed aside as artistic, but tied in with the movies symbolism become a great story of struggle against something other than the enemy soldiers of World War I. Pay close attention as the movie moves on toward the finishing scene, because it is that point that the movie begins again anew once you realize the parallels of what happened on the battlefield, and in Camille's life after war.
