      More in this world is Riphagen

      Because it's a real event, it's especially realistic. Of course Riphagen is very heinous, but with such a thick stack of photos and so many lives, if he wanted to kill everyone one by one, he would have no way to avoid nightmares, but once it became a system, everyone involved A little bit, or once you know that these people have already been sentenced to death, does it feel much more reassuring to take their lives? In "The Third Reich in Power", it was written that many people...

      There is no good or evil, only profit

      This is something we have never dared to admit, that is, there is no truth in the world that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. But why such propaganda has continued to this day is because some people need this kind of discourse to brainwash, paralyze, and facilitate their rule. Let those who have been insulted and wounded anesthetize themselves instead of fighting.

      There is an old saying in China, "The golden belt of murder and arson, and the repair of...

      Another banal evil

      Hannah Arendt, speaking about Eichmann's trial, once defined the crimes of their Nazi accomplices as "banal evil". They all looked like ordinary people, no different from our kind, well-behaved, hard-working, breadwinner neighbors. Their only sin seems to be blindly following the orders of their superiors and lacking the ability to self-reflect. The unprecedented political power of the Nazis created a state of invalidation of reflexive judgment in the territories it occupied. In this state,...

      Don't trust the best people

      A scheming state security agent who used desperate Jews, used Germans, used the Communist Party, used his wife, and finally got away with treasure.
      The only righteous man was killed in the end for good intentions.
      Are these people really that stupid? In fact, they are willing to be used, because they can benefit from being used, and there is no one worthy of sympathy except for those Jews who have been defrauded of their wealth and lives. This is a sinful and absurd world. Put away...

      Biopics become hero films

      This film should have been a biopic that honestly reflects history, expanding from the personal experience of a "big traitor" to the distortion of good and evil and human nature in history. The first 30 minutes of the movie did a good job, basically doing all of the above.
             However, since the story of the little hero and male protagonist began to diverge, the focus of the story shifted. The focus of the film jumped from the biography of the great traitor to the feature film "Black...

      This movie reminds me of the famous verse of Bei Dao: "The vile is the passport of the vile, and the noble is the epitaph of the noble." Human nature is actually beyond any religion and doctrine, but most of the time the evil side of it prevailed. The last part of the monastery has a metaphorical meaning. In this story, whether human nature is sublimated or degenerated, the film gives us the...

      The perfect survival manual for the perfect war criminal, so depressing. Justice does not come sooner or later, but is perfectly buried in the hands of ugly humanity and greed for...

      I watched it after I downloaded it, but I found that it was a rare good movie, playing with good people and fooling bad people. This person's heart is too bad... It's just too...

      The movie itself was well done, but when I think of the real thing, I'm half-dead. Murder and set fire to the golden belt, repair bridges and make up roads, and there are no...
