The flower of life in a blizzard is always so tender

The moment when Albrecht sank into the lake was really touching. The distance between dream and reality was so far away, the confusion and confusion made him unbearable, his efforts always seemed so pale, and finally he chose the end of his life in despair. .
Friedrich is equally confused and confused, but he is not as slender and weak as Albrecht. The so-called for the Führer is just an ethereal concept. Albrecht's death has brought him a huge emotional impact, which is not enough for him when he is still underage. It is too heavy to say that I can no longer be myself in the final ring.
Aside from the fascist background of World War II, the whole film feels similar to the Dead Poets Society, which makes people think a lot.

    Originally wanted to mark "the first German film", but suddenly found that "Laura Run" is actually also German. Well, part two. . . i'm so bored

    The taste is too bland. Obviously not enough. After reading it, it takes a lot of effort to recall, what has changed what kind of child. The descriptions of Nazi education were bland, and the events that impacted the minds of young people were lackluster. I think it should have been a process of seeing half of the people "learning" to the "essence" of the Nazis, then ravaging the hearts of the "students", and finally putting the Nazis on fire. The film didn't do it.

Before the Fall quotes

  • Christoph Schneider: Pull yourself together!

    Albrecht Stein: Pull myself together? Do you know what we just did? You shouldn't have shot! You shouldn't have shot!

    Tjaden: I didn't give the order. Your father said they had guns!

    Albrecht Stein: Why are you looking at me like that?

    Friedrich Weimer: I'm not looking at you.

    Albrecht Stein: I know what you're thinking. Don't look at me like that!

  • Albrecht Stein: [reading from his essay] "As childish as it sounds, the winter time and the sight of freshly fallen snow always fill us with inexplicable joy. Perhaps because as children, we associated it with Christmas. I always imagine myself the hero who killed dragons, rescued virgins, and freed the world from evil. As we went out yesterday to find the prisoners, I felt like that little boy who wanted to save the world."

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: But as we returned, I understood that I am part of the evil that I wanted to save us from.

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: Shooting prisoners is wrong. They were not armed, as Governor Stein told us, to incite us. We didn't shoot men, only children.

    Vogler: Out!
