most of other reaction by subscriber to this service be very apt and although that some find it slow or ambiguous puzzle me . rather than ambiguous and it be complex and multi layer in it meaning . one can see it a anti war and because of the opening and closing scene and and the folly of pretended grandeur and a how wonderful the cavalry men look a they prepare for the great charge at eylau and contrast with it so horrible and disturbing conclusion and when we see the bloody uniform and the boyish dead and etc but chiefly and i see the film a about a moral man in an immoral society . at the end chabert choose retreat from the corrupt post napoleonic french world and opts for the simple pleasure provide by derville ( who himself be save by his recognition of chabert basic decency and the morality of his choice of renunciation ) white bread and cheese and some wine and tobacco over the rich he leave to his wife and and her and society dishonor . in her case and we can see the film a also feminist and in the position of woman at that time and in which the only weapon mme chabert have be her charm and beauty and wile and and ultimately and money .
