First of all, it is worth affirming that this is a well-made film. The level of sophistication in the scenes, costumes and props alone shows the director's sincerity in making the film. This is the lost attitude of filmmakers in this era, and it is worth reflecting on and reflecting on every filmmaker.
Secondly, the story is multi-line, complex but not chaotic. The plot to assassinate Hitler, the arrangement of murdering prostitutes, the desperate love of the general's daughter, the cynical and bizarre situation of the soldiers, the kind-hearted but paranoid prosecutors, and even the efforts and struggles of the French Patriotic Front to liberate the motherland... The context is clearly displayed to the audience,
The third thing to be sure is the interpretation of the characters. Whether it is a general, a soldier, or even a witness who does not appear much, the portrayal is vivid, with a distinct personality, and there is no sense of performance at all. Everyone vividly interprets the personality of the character itself. Gives a strong sense of substitution.
Fourth, the grand background of the times and the setting of the scenes with a lot of investment are a background board for the short story, which reflects the director's generosity and heart. World War II, Hitler's assassination, a world-class event, was taken as a footnote to the murder of a prostitute. This bold setting is admirable.
Fifth, what the director wants to express in the end is still an indictment of the war. This tragic disaster in human history has changed the fate of countless people. Are those three prostitutes miserable? They are just a microcosm of the times, and the perverted generals represent the anti-human and anti-human side of the Nazis.
Perhaps the director still has a lot to express, and this is indeed an intriguing film that is worth chewing over and over again.
