The film does not deliberately show the life of an ordinary small village before the First World War. The doctor who shoulders the responsibility of curing diseases and saving people, commits adultery, incest, and has no respect for his mistress. One day, he was plotted against and fell off his horse. The priest who shoulders the moral code is extremely strict with his children. As the supreme ruler of the village, the duke regarded everything in the village as his own, and the residents' clothing, food, shelter, and transportation all came from his gifts, and his reluctance to leave the village was probably because he was unwilling to give up this sense of dignity. As a family of farmers representing the common class, the parents kept telling their children to be grateful and forbearance, and finally chose suicide to escape after the whole family was fired. It is a pity that these people have children, and I don't know one of them, they are all children in their teens. Children in this age group have not yet formed a healthy and good mental system, and there is no suitable person to do emotional counseling. Therefore, after being subjected to unreasonable corporal punishment, they choose to use violence to transfer, of course, they have no ability to transfer to violence. Therefore, it is transferred to the weaker bearers. This is the so-called transfer of violence. In the end, the bearers of violence will always be the weakest people, because the tendency of the perpetrators is getting weaker and weaker. And their parents, after discovering that the perpetrators were their own children, were unwilling to face it or solve it, saying that they wanted to protect their children, and the more likely reason was that they were unwilling to admit that the ultimate root cause was caused by themselves. Therefore, these seemingly well-behaved and disciplined, but in fact violent and murderous children grew up under the protection of their elders, but unfortunately, when they grew up, there happened to be an Austrian who ran to Germany campaigned and declared the establishment of the Third Reich. One can imagine what such a leader would do with such a group of people under his command. Therefore, the state of Germany before the war was: 1. Emphasis on discipline and obedience. 2. The unity of the king and the father. of peace and tranquility

#Film Archive# Screenwriter: Haneke's book is four and a half hours long. He couldn't get the investment to make such a long film. So he turned to screenwriter Carrell, and Carrell pointed to two places where the length of the story could be shortened. The main suggestion was to cut out the scenes where the children in the village were left alone. With those parts removed, the viewer doesn't immediately associate the children as the perpetrators of these random acts of violence in the story. "In Haneke's script, it was obvious after 20 minutes that all the bad things in the village were actually done by the children," Carrell said. There's no need to be explicit about who did it." Haneke agreed, and the final film was cryptic and disturbing. Much of the original script was removed. The screenwriter, Carell, said that I didn't make up the story, and I didn't make up the characters. It was in the original script. What I did was like an editor, I just picked one scene out of three.

Powerful metaphor. Baron: the dying Junker aristocracy, who thinks he is in control of everything, but in fact has already betrayed himself; Priest: the pioneer of totalitarian ideology, good at mind control, but his daughter is young; Peasant: mediocre, the enforcer of violence, can be used; doctor : Fallen, who fulfilled the imagination of the Jewish genocide in the future; Teacher: Intellectual, who sees through everything, but is weak and does not help. The whistle of the baron's son: at last it was the whistle of the Führer's broadcast and the Stuka, by which the Deutschland was summoned, rumbling to the end of destruction.
