Use your life to interrogate justice, just for a sentence of sorry

There is no shortage of films in the long history of film that face history and reflect on World War II. The 1961 "Nuremberg Trial" aimed the protagonist at the judge who carried out the Nazi orders during World War II, using the game of conscience and politics to tell the distortion of the human mind caused by the war. "Schindler's List" in 1993 uses an epic length and borrows from the perspective of the German businessman Schindler to tell the horrific crimes of slaughter of Jews in World War II. "Our Fathers" in 2003 used the fate of five spirited young people in Germany to divide the fate of the east and the west in the torrent of World War II, describing the insignificance of individual lives under the weight of war. It has been more than 70 years since the end of World War II, but the damage caused to mankind by war, and mankind's thinking about war, has never stopped.

Adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name, it originates from real events in history. The original work is so influential that the German President was shocked by the "Koliny Case". The film won the box office championship for six consecutive weeks and directly promoted the revision of relevant laws by the German judicial department. These auras allow the film itself to detach itself from the discussion of the art itself, reveal the core essence of authenticity and reality under the cloak of suspense, build an intertextual effect between reality and history, criticize the catastrophe in human history, and point to the impact of war on human nature. alienation.

The murdered old man Meyer, in Lenin’s eyes, was a generous, generous and righteous old man. Lenin’s father died when he was 2 years old. From then on, Lenin regarded Meyer as the second in his life. A father is regarded as a role model in life and a role model for his parents. Under Meyer's generosity, Lenin was able to complete his studies and become a lawyer. In the eyes of Meyer's granddaughter Hannah, the grandfather was impeccable, and the grandfather assumed the responsibility of taking care of her parents and elder brother. From the perspective of society and public, Meyer is also the recipient of the National Medal of Honor, a well-known entrepreneur who will be reported in the headlines of the newspaper. Glory and wealth are in one body. An old man who makes a great statement has nothing to do with evil.

The magic of war turned ordinary people into demons. During World War II, two German soldiers were killed in an attack by Italian guerrillas. In retaliation, Meyer ordered the lives of twenty Italian civilians to eliminate the lives of two German soldiers. Corinne's father is one of them. More wicked and brutal than shooting, Meyer forcefully forced Corinney, who was still a young son, to look directly at the bloody scene of his father being shot through his head. At this time, Meyer is not only a ruthless murderous demon, but also a demon caster who sows the seeds of hatred and violence on the hearts of future generations. The evil and brutality in the war has created a strong personality contrast with the image of the generous, generous and honorable old man in time and space. These are two different sides of the same person, placed in different positions by fate, and one exists in a peaceful world. , One exists in the troubled times of war.

When Corinne's gun was pointed at Meyer, Meyer knelt and pointed it at the muzzle. This post-war gesture with obvious repentance shows that Meyer was deeply disturbed and fearful after the war. Perhaps he was ashamed of these blood-stained hands for the rest of his life, until Colin When Ni found him, he took the initiative to die, as if he actively prayed for forgiveness and surrender. This result seemed to be what he was waiting for. Only when Corinne pressed this shot could he reach the final settlement of his sins.

Knowing that Laining had the evidence that her grandfather had shot Corinne's father, Hannah ran downstairs to Laining to excuse her grandfather's crimes. She was righteous. Why did her grandfather be guilty? He just obeyed orders. In the face of national wars, the actions of a soldier are just a screw operated by the national ideological machine. Hannah’s refutation is understandable, but the sense of righteousness reveals her coldness and cunning in using rules, and her personal moral and emotional ruthlessness and indifference.

The confrontation between legal principle and reasonableness finally appeared in the peak confrontation between the new lawyer Laining and the star lawyer Martink at the court hearing. Although Martinger has repeatedly emphasized that Meyer’s behavior is only to obey the state's order, for the same reason, his participation in the compilation of the "Derrel Law" that helped countless war criminals escape sanctions was also a task assigned to him by the government. He was only employed by a certain department. . Lenin asked three times, because of this, is this justice? Can this represent justice? Martinger sat in the witness's seat and slowly said no.

Without waiting for the final verdict, Corinne chose to commit suicide after Martine admitted that this was not a just act, and the case was terminated. Legally, the sentence of justice is always absent, but that sentence is no, Corinne won with his own life. Corinne’s suicide led to the absence of the final judgment, like an expression of ideological ventriloquism. One-sided reflection was sublimated to the courage to face history. It represented the heavy and sincere introspective attitude of the German nation towards World War II. Although there is no legal trial, the inner anxiety and guilt are more severe punishments, turning them into the desolate background of a national spirit.

The dead do not want revenge. This is a line in the film. Colinni did not use his life to revenge, he used his life to tell the Nazis who had committed violent crimes. Deep down, you must not feel that this is a righteous act. Losing the criticism of human nature and reflecting on the error is the most incorrigible evil of a nation. This evil is just another way to continue the harm.

The benevolent old man is a chopstick hand with blood; the lawyer who shouts for justice, Zeng Yizheng utterly protects the evil; in the purgatory of bloodbath, crying children are educated to be brave; in the scandal that destroys the strong, lonely The righteous are suffering from group difficulties.

The alienation of human nature by war is the sorrow of war, and the exile of human nature by mankind is a shame to mankind. Law can repair social order, but it cannot repair a riddled heart. This film does not stand on the heights of the law and build a high wall to defend against the mistakes of the nation, but with the courage to face history and the determination to face history squarely. Dormant in the aftermath of the wounds of World War II, conduct a serious and deep analysis of the crimes committed. Inside, there are complex thinking about "evil", lashing expressions on the dark side of human nature, and relentless condemnation and reflection on war, with intensity and warmth.
