Excellent Counterfeiters, it is impossible to make "one-sided counterfeit" blunder
- view "The Counterfeiters," felt

before "The Counterfeiters," Look, I expected a write a Feedback, but when I When I finished reading it, I still couldn't make up my mind to hit the keyboard.
Suddenly I have a strange idea. When a paper counterfeit banknote is placed in front of you, if it has only one realistic side and a blank with no pattern on the other side, anyone with normal behavior ability can recognize the truth. Fake. If a counterfeit banknote has patterns on both sides, and it is almost inaccurate, it is often regarded as "real" if it is not a professional. I put this weird idea into the logic of filming. If the characters in the movie are just blindly good or bad, just playing the one element of the binary opposition, then the film looks "fake", and if the movie is The characters of the characters are mixed, sometimes cunning, hateful and even cold-blooded, sometimes naive and kind, and even tearful, so we generally think that such characters are plump and true in the movie. But just like counterfeit money is counterfeit money after all, and movies still need to be fictional, they still can't get rid of their respective "fake" destiny. However, kind-hearted movie viewers still have to be moved by this “pseudo” and show real emotions, because movie viewers have found their true social self in the movie, or found the darkness hidden deep in their hearts.
Because they were able to print counterfeit banknotes for the Nazis and impact the financial systems of allied countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, the "enemy" was at a disadvantage in the war. These "Jewish pigs" have soft pillows and white sheets in the "golden cage". They can shower, Washing up, even playing table tennis on weekends, and living a life no less than ordinary SS treatment. Of course, freedom and life are still under the strictest control of the Nazis, at best they are "white-collar workers" among slaves.
"White-collar workers" lose everything except their lives. The only value of living is to print counterfeit banknotes for the Nazis, and the hostile countries are their own liberators and saviors. What the slaves did was to delay the liberator's coming to their side and to destroy their own hope of life; it was a dead end to stop cooperating with the Nazis and to stop helping the abuser. The only difference is that the former is chronic suicide, and the latter may cause life to evaporate immediately! Under such a dilemma, one can imagine the inner suffering, and the spiritual struggle tortures himself like a hot body.
The communist who was distributing anti-fascist leaflets with his wife on the street was still hopefully looking forward to the occurrence of the "prison revolution" in the "golden cage", but this idealist bound the lives of other inmates to On the chariot of his revolutionary ideal, the only rotten life of the inmate was almost destroyed by his fiery passionate fire. He has the right to preserve the enthusiasm in his heart, but he cannot allow innocent people to make innocent sacrifices. When I saw the plot here, I naturally thought of the ridiculous sentence: Shout your own slogan and let others sacrifice! That is to say, no matter how great a person’s ideals are, no matter how good the reasons are, one should not treat others’ Life is tied to his own slogan!
Sally, the counterfeit money maker who lived a sensual life before the war, was cunning, sophistic, and even wretched, because he was a Jew with no pure Aryan descent, and was caught by the Nazis after the war began. Unambiguously caught in the concentration camp, relying on his barely fooling the Nazi officers' painting talents, he died in prison, and because he was a master of counterfeiting money, he was valued by the Nazi officers by virtue of his skill and transferred to the "golden cage". ", and entrusted with the important task of becoming the person in charge of the counterfeit banknote manufacturing factory. This rank has received the verbal promise of "life preservation" from the Nazi officers. For this alone, it is not excessive to give him the title of "golden-collar slave". Before he went to prison, Sally was rebellious. After he was in prison, he seemed to be desperately working for the Nazis in order to linger. In fact, Sally's humility to the Nazis was really helpless. If not, Sally and his "workers" are both. Will be put to death. Sally can’t be like that idealist who only has doctrine and no problem. In Sally’s view, how to successfully produce counterfeit money and protect the lives of dozens of “workers” is a real problem. What other “isms” are. "Revolution" is bullshit in the face of living human lives! The reason is very simple. Only when there is a continuation of life, the ideal can be continued and realized.
Just like the weird idea at the beginning of my article, is it true that Sally will only survive without any dignity? A good director will not make such a low-level "single-sided counterfeit bill" mistake. When Sally was wiping the floor in the toilet and was insulted by the Nazi officer's urinary head, Sally became annoyed, and even collapsed and destroyed the sink while washing away the filth. I think he must have thought of the idealists before. A mockery and advice to him: What is the meaning of a life without dignity? Live just to make counterfeit money for the Nazis! What is even more ironic is that such words were also uttered from the officer who poured his head in urine. I think it was the officer’s words that angered Sally, because the inmates said this. There is also a layer of advice wrapped up in the words of Sally, and the Nazis who Sally had been forced to serve were the purest humiliation and disdain. Sally took the risk to make a deal with Nazi officers and exchanged medicines for the young inmate who had tuberculosis. But when he got the medicine, the young inmate was discovered by the Nazis to prevent infection and ended easily. He only lived 20. Over the past few years of his life, Sally saw all this secretly and cried bitterly while holding the medicine.
That idealist is also not a "single-sided counterfeit bill", nor is it just a cold-blooded person with only doctrine and inhumanity. Because of his passive and sabotage, the domestically produced term is "to fight the reactionaries wisely in prison", which prevented the counterfeit dollar bills from flowing smoothly into the financial markets of the Allies, resulting in no major fluctuations in the exchange rate, thus indirectly helping the liberators. The war was in a state of superiority until they liberated themselves. This can be regarded as a small realization of the idealist's "ideal". The director is still flesh and blood, so the characters are also very full.
This movie is full of contradictions, struggles, inner conflicts and impulses. This is a true portrayal of human nature. I like this movie because there are too many cases of "single-sided counterfeit banknotes" in China.
