    Four and a half stars, wet eyes by the ending; even if there are flaws, I still want to believe that there is a touch of warm humanity in this desolation; Brecht's words and Beethoven's music make this rigorous and rigid interrogator slowly Melting, this is really a too idealized story, and also a too cruel story; long-term trust is not safe, the sympathy in the dark will be able to shine in the...
