Analysis of Second World War's picture

pag.513

The photograph represents not only the end of a long conflict, the Second World War, but also the romanticism of a gesture, especially for the historical moment in which it was taken, when there was a desperate need for hope and freedom for a new beginning.

This picture is a symbol of reunification, of happiness and finally of carefreeness for young people who have lived through a difficult period of pain and war.

Together with them you can see many people in the street to show the joy for the end of the war, everyone kisses and embraces each other.

There is not distinction of gender, race and sex: everyone is happy for a war that has come to an end but also for a new period of peace: it is an illustration that symbolizes the end of a nightmare and the resumption of life.

The picture of the kiss is moving for the emotions it is able to arouse, just think that after almost five years of a very hard conflict the enthusiasm is sky-high and, in the general euphoria, many people take to the streets to hug, kiss, sing, scream maybe.
