Justice did not triumph

I just finished watching the movie, so I hurried to collect a film review while I was still warm in my heart. This is a very complicated movie. My ability to generalize is not strong, but I have a thought in my head: "Justice does not win." During the Nazi rule, Ellis lived quite decently, at least on the surface, but after the war, he was not only tortured by "just" hooligans, but also "justly" drenched in dung. Even though the whole family was killed and her heart was very sad, she was basically calm and calm, but after receiving the news of Menz's death, she cried and trembled and made no sound. She finally understood that her enemy was not only the Nazis, but the ubiquitous evil, which was invisible and intangible, and could never be defeated. The director is still very compassionate and let Chocolate save Ellis's life so that she can retaliate against the doctor, but I understand very well in my heart that in reality, people like doctors are often the final winners. What is justice and what is evil? The hooligan who drenched Ellis with dung, no matter whether the Nazis were in power or not, they could be their hooligan unharmed. The general’s personal hatred of Menz transcends ideology, and even the occupying forces representing justice must abide by the rules of the game. Hayek said: "In a totalitarian society, the worst people always climb to the pinnacle of power" (to the effect). I think this sentence can't be wrong in any society at any time. The victor of World War II is not justice, but the superpower represented by the United States and the Soviet Union; similarly, the victor of China's civil war is not justice, but XX. All in all, justice has never won. The true winner, in Wu Si's words, is a kind of "hidden rule." A bunch of nonsense that has nothing to do with the movie, welcome to make bricks.

    The director is really addicted to the model of women being insulted and insulted to the limit and then revenge. Compared to Ang Lee's lust, it's so soft and pale, and Tang Wei's acting skills are not worthy of Melisandre's shoes.

    There is a big change in the plot every 10 minutes, which is relatively strong
