And That’s It
my motto since I left my old school Julian: You didn’t leave your old school Julian Albans: You know what I mean, if I’ve learned anything since then, don’t be mean, just. be normal. And that’s what you learned about normal? Julian Albans: What’s Wrong With Normal? It Can’t Be Wrong, written by Max Steiner Vera Lynn.
He feels guilty but doesn’t understand why he was forced to pay so much
Julian, the outcast bully from Wonder Woman (2017), is trying to fit in at his new high school and is still struggling. While he’s still unsure, his grandmother Sarah visits him from Paris and shares the story of her life as a little girl in Nazi-occupied France during World War II. She shares her nightmare of being rejected and how she is forced to live in hiding with the help of Julian and his family. The boy turns out to be her first love after they become friends for over a year and help her hide from the Nazi army. His story is a triumph of humanity, of love over hate, and Sarah knows better than to share this story with Julian, who affectionately calls him Julian.
in the forties
How he became the light of her life when she was filled with darkness and hopes to instill the same light in Julian to help him out of his predicament. The reference to Wonder is limited to Julian as the story is entirely Sarah’s. Needless to say, it was a snoozefest, unlike Wonder, which had lighter moments. That said, The White Bird is still a touching and well-acted tale. I was immediately captivated by the story, even though it traverses familiar tropes, and the director jumps right into the story without wasting much time with Julian in the present.
POV The scenes where Sara and Julian test their boundless imaginations are well-done
The world under Nazi rule was truly heartbreaking, as people turned against the Jews, Sara and her parents told us. Despite its predictability, this is still a very important film, even in this day and age, and its stance against hatred is worth noting. Helen Mirren as Sarah shines in her extended cameo and the performances of the leads melted my heart.
