To die awake can you be reborn awake.

I'm glad that finally the protagonist wakes up, no matter how much candy the people in power give you, people can't live under power, everyone needs a strong and free mind. I don't know how many teenagers who were blinded by power and so-called authority during World War II. They became insensitive, cruel and turned into war machines. And the awakening of one teenager awakened another, and in the end they all understood that they, or human beings, should not live in such a world. Isn't the father of the suicidal teenager in the lake the saddest person? His incredible look at the protagonist at the end of the credits shows that he never woke up to the end. Perhaps, he will never be free in his life, nor will he have a beautiful, free and vast soul.
It's a tragedy to live in those war times. However, living deceived by power, selfishly believing that only violence can solve the problem, and arrogantly yearning for victory is a kind of unspeakable sadness. Only by dying consciously can you be reborn consciously.

    The film as a whole is very powerful, the meaning is deep enough, and there are many shadows of the Celestial Dynasty in it. But it's not very good to talk about boxing in it. Competitive sports is not a family game. It only makes sense to win or lose. Moreover, why are there so many ambiguous eyes and hugs in this film, there are no good dramas?

    A story that can guess the outcome. Brainwashing elite education is contrary to human nature no matter when and where. PS: Christoph is beautiful. Albrecht walked beautifully. I love watching German movies lately. . .

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!
