      rising german cinema

      From this "Our Fathers", we can easily find the shadow of many modern war movies such as "The Destruction of the Empire", "Saving Private Ryan", "The Tai Chi Flag Flying" and so on. For a long time, German films have been subject to the massive exodus of talents to Hollywood, and the ideology of German films has been constrained by political conservatism and thematic content.

      About Charlotte, the war, and their generation

      At first I didn't quite understand C's initiative to have sex with the doctor.

      Later, in combination with C's character, I thought that this was a ritual of devotion.

      Dramatic, too dramatic, if there is no war, where is the darkness in human nature

      Quote two paragraphs at the beginning

      Many people think that war is fighting, but it's not like that, it's just waiting, waiting for the next charge, waiting for the next dinner, waiting for the next dawn. . .

      In September 1943, when we first joined the army, we fought for our motherland. Later, when we had doubts, we fought for our comrades in arms. We didn't give up, but when everyone died, you were the only one left. Now, are you still deceiving yourself? Who else can you...

      After reading it, I suddenly do not know where I am, it is day and night outside. . . It is worth pondering, but there is no answer to this pondering. For some reason, recently, it seems to be more and more pessimistic about human nature or human beings, micro or macro....
