  • War and Peace focuses on a constant struggle between two opposites: men of war vs. men of peace, idealim vs. deception, innocence vs. bitterness, love vs. death, city vs. country... and representation vs. reality. The film is true to Tolstoi´s universe and very neatly expresses the contrast between the city and the country. The countryside is the place set aside for freedom, happiness and to enjoy the simple things in life. Vidor once again depicts a society torn between happiness as an obligation and obligation as part of the natural order.
