A very special film, because it is an adaptation of a real event, I feel that it has a special feeling. Many people will compare this one with the wave. But because one is a time of war and the other is a time of peace, I think there is still a big difference.
During the war, everyone has their own plans. Anything for Hitler, for the motherland, blow it. In order to have a bite to eat, the deserters are no longer worried about their fugitive status; in order to quickly clean up the fugitives, the officers should not waste their food and drink; even in the end, the politicians in the court also wanted to "promote" The so-called patriotism is the wrong way to describe a heinous murderous act as patriotism. It's really black and white, it's ridiculous.
Everyone acquiesced to the captain's identity because of their own purposes, so why is the captain himself? It may be the madness at the end of the road, the resentment and revenge for being chased and killed, or the use of violence under the guise of war to vent the pain in his heart after the war. Either way, it is unforgivable.
I don't believe they are born demons, rather, freaks of war machines. The ending is even more terrifying. When these uniformed monsters walk in a modern society, everything is exactly the same as history. How ridiculous, what everyone is afraid of is just a layer of skin. No, but the power behind this layer of skin, absolute authority.
A country that understands deeply and is not afraid of introspection is scary and powerful.
