Call me a professor

The first time I watched an English novel was because of Viggo, and the first time I watched an English movie naked because of Viggo. I can’t help it, I can’t wait!
Professor John Hyde, played by Viggo, is a purely scholar. He never expected that his academic achievements would be used by the Nazis to promote genocide. But John is not such a pure and noble person. He regards the female student as his lover and then becomes his wife. He still ignores his sick mother, and his plea for friends is only vague... But
no matter what. Nor can it be believed that the Nazis would really genocide the Jews until they peeked a telegram. He hurriedly bought a train ticket to Paris for his Jewish friend, but it was too late, and what his wife had done gave him a heavy blow.
Looking at the posture of this film, it is a bit of "Mephiste", but it is far from that depth. It's that the frequent singing scenes are a bit interesting. Although I don't understand what they are singing, I believe that the song is definitely very important to Hyde. The appearance of these fantasy scenes also adds a bit of mystery to the film.
In short, the film is generally good. What's important is that Viggo looks very young and handsome here! When the subtitle version comes out, I will watch it again carefully, ha ha

    This is a story that reflects the difficulty of being a good person. Professor Halder really wanted to be a good son, a good father, a good husband, a good friend, and a good teacher. He wrote several articles that won the appreciation of the Nazi leaders. Involuntarily joined the Nazis, resulting in a series of things that I can't forgive myself. Think of the German Nazis in World War II, where Jews were devastated and tortured, but who would dare to help them blatantly. So under that political background, it was quite difficult to be a good person, to help his mother, and to help his friends. He and his new wife lived fairly well, but his heart was not at peace. In the end, he I finally understand that it is unwise to compromise, and Mr. Hao wouldn't work in that era, so the name of this film is called Hao Man, which has a deep meaning, allowing the audience to think about how to do it in the society under that political background. What about a good guy?

    Just like the "They Think They Are Free" I read before. When people live as individuals in society and relationships, their self-experience will affect some value judgments whether people exist first as human beings or before others. The conflict seems not as strong as I imagined, but it just pushes the male protagonist from different angles to something that has no choice.//The English sound is good, but there are some dramas in this context.//Mortensen is so easy to make me commit a daddyissue

Good quotes

  • [Halder eats the cheesecake that Maurice gave him]

    Maurice: Where are you going to get proper Jewish cheesecake when you've locked up all the Jews, eh? Unless you give a special dispensation to Epstein's.

  • Maurice: We probably met him, you know? When we were at Ypres, October of that year, 16th Bavarian were in the line next to us. He'd have been running dispatches back and forth.

    Halder: You may have sent him on an errand.

    Maurice: "Oi, you! Lance Corporal! Yes, you, short arse. Get over here!"

    Halder: And he'd have saluted you., imagine that.
