This crazy history lives like a legacy in the marrow of the only remaining Jewish people. The extremely flat narrative and the absence of any horrific photos and images are shocking. Quarantines are like islands in normal life. There is more than one island in this world. Remember the haunted first half and the second half where the lucidity is getting...

It is said to be 4K restoration, but in fact the picture quality is not good, and the film feeling is very serious. It is no wonder that the introduction is 16mm film at the beginning. It's really lengthy. For more than nine hours, the interviewees narrated their memories and feelings, and there was no scene restoration at all. I think the essence is in the second half, especially the barber shop and the survivors. Lightness of life. The long shots are endless, and the photography is really...

Modernity and the Holocaust. The evasion of moral responsibility on the grounds of "I don't know" under the bureaucratic system, the comparison between the witness's oral and a few strings of numbers on a document is worth pondering. As a documentary, it is indeed not very artistic, but the director did not cut it to make it more "easy to watch". Keeping records of this sort of thing is a...

I have never had such a big fear of a movie. This film mainly tells about the extinction of European Jews during World War II. Through the interviews of reporters, people are more shocked by things other than the film. As a war documentary, the film has no images about the Holocaust. It is almost completed in the form of dialogue from beginning to end. These nine and a half hours are undoubtedly a torture whether you are concerned with the length of the film or the cruel...

Tiexi hasn't finished reading yet, but he finished sleeping this one first. . It is estimated that half of the time is asleep. For those who do not know this history, watching this is a catastrophe, and for the suffering Jews of the year, reading this and recalling it again is also a catastrophe. It is indeed a very heavy subject matter. , Psychology and Eyelids are both 2. "The film presents the often-occurring myth-making process of making and scapegoating, instead of light-hearted fictional...

In the cold winter, a person, nestled in a quilt, took a quarter of a 9-hour video journey, but my heart became colder and colder... My eyes followed the railroad tracks and the train slowly drove towards Auschwitz, fearing , The boundless darkness covers my heart, I don’t know, if such a situation comes, how can I choose to...

Following in Lanzmann's footsteps, he looked back and reconsidered the Holocaust. Perhaps, we really need to show every generation what has happened to humans themselves. We are all too good at...

On 9-1/2, the archival lens language was omitted, and the usual pattern of "re-" witnessing was transformed into a highlight of the theme "catastrophic", which triggered a metaphysical perception-a large number of investigations and interviews presented The testimony above goes back to the root of terror that cannot be forgiven and overcome. Telling a story like Schindler's List to recreate the Holocaust is wrong -- you shouldn't be making icons, Lanzmann said. That's another...

Why is he always smiling? (to a survivor) What else can I do, cry? (Then burst out laughing and crying...) He buried his wife in a cemetery and begged to be killed. The Germans say you are strong and can work. (I can't beg for death) Pure documentary, purely oral interviews with historical figures, tons of material, and the absence of historical images, which requires the audience's subjective participation and imagination. In the face of the interview camera, all the survivors were invariably...

In what capacity should we participate in the pain of "The Catastrophe"?
I planned to finish watching it in several times for 9 hours, but the intense curiosity in the middle of the watching drove it all at once.
If you look at it as an interview, Lanzman’s nearly two decades of hard work has allowed every link in the death production line of the concentration...

The existence of films with far greater value than other meanings is reflected in the length of the film. After reading it in one day, I dozed off twice in the middle. Lanzman fully acknowledges the subjectivity of documentaries and uses them to the extreme. The documentary materials are completely...

Claude Lanzmann: But a ghetto like Warsaw's, in a great capital, in the heart of the city...
Franz Grassler: That was unusual.
Claude Lanzmann: You say you wanted to maintain the ghetto?
Franz Grassler: Our mission wasn't to annihilate the ghetto, but to keep it alive, to maintain it.
Claude Lanzmann: What does "alive" mean in such conditions?
Franz Grassler: That was the problem. That was the whole problem.
Claude Lanzmann: But people were dying in the streets. There were bodies everywhere?
Franz Grassler: Exactly. That was the paradox.
Claude Lanzmann: You see it as a paradox?
Franz Grassler: I'm sure of it.
Claude Lanzmann: Why? Can you explain?
Franz Grassler: No.
Claude Lanzmann: Why not?
Franz Grassler: Explain what? But the fact is... That wasn't maintaining! Jews were being exterminated daily in the ghetto wrote... To maintain it properly we'd have needed more substantial rations and less crowding.
Claude Lanzmann: Why weren't the rations more humane? Why weren't they? That was a German decision wasn't it?
Franz Grassler: There was no real decision to starve the ghetto. The big decision to exterminate came much later.
Claude Lanzmann: That's right, later. In 1942.
Franz Grassler: Precisely.
Claude Lanzmann: A year later.
Franz Grassler: Just so. Our mission, as I recall it, was to manage the ghetto, and naturally with those inadequate rations and the over-crowding, a high, even excessive death rate was inevitable.
Claude Lanzmann: Yes. What does "maintain" the ghetto mean in such conditions, the food, sanitation, etcetera? What could the Jews do against such measures?
Franz Grassler: They couldn't do anything.
Claude Lanzmann: Why did Czerniakow commit suicide?
Franz Grassler: Because he realised there was no future for the ghetto. He probably saw before I did that the Jews would be killed.
-
Claude Lanzmann: Yes, but do you know how many people died in the ghetto each month in 1941?
Franz Grassler: I don't know now, if I ever knew.
Claude Lanzmann: But you did know. There are exact figures.
Franz Grassler: I probably knew...
Claude Lanzmann: Yes. Five thousand a month.
Franz Grassler: Five thousand a month? Yes, well... That's a lot...
