self redemption in hell

Sol thought of himself as just a walking corpse surviving in a concentration camp. Seeing the boy who survived the gas chamber made him think he had witnessed a miracle, and burying the boy in the Jewish rites was as sacred as the disciples secretly burying Jesus, risking his life for it. At the end, when Thor was frustrated by not being able to pull the boy's body to the river bank, he found the young Polish boy standing at the door staring at him, as if his piety had been promised and his self-redemption had been completed, although this was not the case. It was the prelude to the demise of his earthly life.
Suffering and death are a curse on every human being, but even the redemptive desire to find meaning in life in the darkest hell will not die.

This is probably the most cruel and realistic movie I have ever seen showing the suffering of the Jews during World War II! Although it is based on the serious Jewish scars of World War II, the visual and auditory tragedy also shocks the audience, but the movie is not boring and ugly. The director hides his scars out of the depth of field, and the sound effects create a realistic recording sense in the future, allowing the audience to replace the clear visual picture with hearing, and imagine this tragic historical crime in their own minds.

A clever debut, the image style with multiple shots (with long lens + shallow focus) is meaningful but unbearable. There are easy problems with debut works: there is no emotional cohesion on the whole, the story is scattered, and the details are connected. Only trying to use the image style to glue the emotional impact cannot reach the moving level.
