The performances of the male and female protagonists were excellent. Recalling that China was occupied for a longer period of time during World War II, there are actually many stories that can be...

    I'll never die, deep, depressing and ordinary, Melville's best movie, the part where the Germans are shooting the machine gun seems to really want to kill him, the opening scene where the Germans lined up on the Arc de Triomphe is so...

    The complete freedom of individual action that any reckless man would vehemently defend, according to his own consciousness, has been denied by historians and thinkers of all times, and even by some of the more profound religious teachings, This inescapable fate comes from the hell of the structure, the abyss of the organization, and the meaninglessness of the individual turns into a trembling loneliness in the bleak poetry.
