It has nothing to do with stolen life

This year’s best foreign language film was given to German films. Last year’s "Eavesdropping Storm", this year’s "Counterfeit Bill Maker", last year was a secret agent in East Germany, and this year was a Jewish genius in a Nazi concentration camp. They all took place in Berlin. The same repressed, the same distorted human nature, and the same history that cannot be erased.
To live or to serve the Nazi war? The story is very fascinating, the Jewish genius who counterfeited money, the inhumane Nazi, the horrible concentration camp, faced with the choice of life and death, protect oneself or sacrifice his life? Everyone has their own choice, no one is right or wrong, and it has nothing to do with surviving.
The rhythm of the film is very fast, the music is also very good, the editing rhythm is very simple and jumpy, a large number of shots are hand-held, there is no shelf, no elevator, no silk paralysis, the style of photography is a bit documentary, and the particles of the screen are also It's very thick, it shouldn't be a problem with the occasional display, it seems very historical, and it's easier to create the depressive atmosphere of a Nazi concentration camp.
The quarrel between Sally, the genius of counterfeiting banknotes, and Burker, who opposed the production of U.S. dollars for the Nazis, seemed to have been severely distracted. The bed that was toppled by Burker was restored by itself in the next shot.
The Nazi concentration camps are very reminiscent of the Nanjing Massacre. There are many classic films about the Nazi massacre of Jews, and there are still no ones about the Nanjing Massacre. I hope that "Children of Yellowstone" and "Nanjing Nanjing" can be added to "Schindler's List". "The Pianist" and this "Counterfeit Banknote Maker" are on the same level, true and delicate and touching but also profound.

    It is another work that reflects the theme of life in the concentration camps of World War II. Different perspectives are naturally different, but it is far from the best in movies with similar themes.

    It's just taking money to hit people! !
