The little boy Joe and his older brother, following their father's orders, fled from Paris to the relatively safe free zone of Nice, before the Nazis began arresting Jews. Along the way, the two brothers suffered one after another, and were constantly redeemed. Lucky for a guide who wasn't a liar to lead down to the free zone.
The family was finally reunited, but the Nazis seemed to be everywhere, and everyone scattered again... Once again, they fled and hid until the Nazis were destroyed. Everyone returned to the barber shop in Paris, but the father was never there.
"A Bag of Marbles" is like a fast-paced running account. By implanting philosophical language, the film exudes the brilliance of humanity. In fact, after watching "Persian Language Lesson", I wanted to sigh with emotion on the subject of the film based on the Nazi abuse of Jews. In terms of screenwriting and rhythm and depth of thought, "Persian Language Lesson" may be even better, because it tells the story of a person who escaped countless disasters through witty planning and finally survived. The 'strategic' Nazi officer cook didn't escape the punishment he deserved...
I have been paying attention to the theme of World War II, thinking that it is the ultimate confrontation between good and evil in human nature. The most incomprehensible thing is that the Jews, who are known as the most intelligent in the world, have always been so "indifferent" to the persecution of the Nazis?
The Jews were collectively deported into concentration camps, subjected to inhuman treatment, and slaughtered in a manner that was close to annihilation... Are they overestimating human nature: thinking that it is impossible for people to do such cruel things; or are they all self-righteous to avoid risks, Caused to be concentrated and perished - anyway, they were all dead, why didn't they resist?
For example, "Schindler's List" is just waiting to be redeemed; "Life is Beautiful" is only brave for his son in the concentration camp... Don't the Jews only have self and family, so won't they stand up for justice and righteousness?
I think there should be some people who are resisting and actively confronting them, even if it is a glorious sacrifice in the end. Like Mel Gibson's Braveheart, why haven't you seen a similar movie story?
