I watched "The Fake Captain" from the beginning, and jumped to watch it because the atmosphere of the film was too depressing the first time. From the second time, it can be seen that although Germany was at the end of its stranglehold, its local legal system still existed, such as: military police specialize in Caught soldiers who committed various crimes, such as theft, rape, robbery, etc., and implemented centralized detention, and when the fake captain wanted to execute these people, it was still a lot of trouble. There were checks and balances between various power agencies, and finally the military police raided The inspection allowed the counterfeit to pass through, and the processing behind the film is not available for comment here.

    The ending is meaningful. Many people criticize the evil of human nature, but the evil of human nature is only inevitable in such an environment, you and I cannot escape. How many people can kill themselves with a gun? But how to reflect on and resist the evil of the system, and how to avoid the trend of totalitarianism that makes human nature fall into the quagmire step by step? Will history repeat itself? Will it be a few years later, many people will be as puzzled as they look back on the rise of the Nazis, confused and how people watched this huge country fall into the mud.

    A film full of evil, driven by the evil of dictatorship, the evil of inflammation, the evil of rabble, and the evil of mediocrity, the unintentional lies full of loopholes have evolved into a historical tragedy. The Wehrmacht, the SS, the Gestapo, the military police, the administration, and the judiciary all came on stage, and there were no dead eggs, let alone innocent people, and it was chilling. The so-called hero is nothing more than independent thinking, not subservient to authority and situation, not smeared, and not evading responsibility.
