Alicia Vikander as Vera Brittain
Testament of Youth (2014)
[Vera Brittain to the crowd at a debate against how to punish Germany for the war]
Our grief is the grief of hundreds and thousands of German women and men. I speak to those of us who were left behind. The mothers, sister, women, we sent our men to war. I fought my father to let my brother go. Because we think it's the right thing, the honourable thing. But all I can do is stand here and ask you, is it? Was I right? Can I find the courage to accept there might be another way? Perhaps their deaths have meaning only if we stand together now and say, "No!" No to killing. No to war. No to the endless cycle of revenge. I say no more of it.

Would who she was, who she really was, be enough? There was no magic to help her this time. This is perhaps the greatest risk that any of us will take. To be seen as we truly are.
