Weekend Braised Pork and Movies

It was a very relaxing weekend. After eating the braised pork, a few people wrapped in thick down jackets, crowded on the sofa to watch a movie, covered with a blanket, and a little sun was turning around to bake. But Lao Hu chose such a film. The title of this film is "Dignity Colony", a story that happened in Chile, South America. Chile? I have heard of it, but I am not familiar with it. It is a long and narrow line on the map. The protagonist of the story is a young man and a woman, German. During the coup d’etat of the Chilean military Pinochet, the hero was imprisoned in a place called “Dignity Colony”. The heroine went in to rescue her lover and witnessed the Everything that was inhuman there, finally escaped. The heroines are Harry Potter's Hermione, Emma Watson, little girls who have grown up under our noses and become real women. She has no makeup, the freckles on her face are clearly visible, and the contours are exquisite, especially the side face, which is simply perfect. What is a "Dignity Colony"? It was the domain of a cult, and the history was real. The cult leader, Schaeffer, is a German, one-eyed, and a missionary. He went to Chile, bought a piece of land, surrounded it with barbed wire, and lived in it with his "subjects". There he is God, who rules everything. Men and women live separately, and the children born are taken away from their mothers for support. The husband and wife do not meet, and the children do not know their parents. And after he and the military Pinochet regime were embarrassed, here is a secret interrogation base and slaughterhouse. History does not move forward all the time. History goes backwards, stops, and repeats. Without the Nazi concentration camps, there would still be colonies of dignity. People can only be helpless broken dolls under the violent machine, and they also act as the screws of violence quite often. Pinochet was another controversial figure, a dictator with blood on his hands, but who made Chile the richest country in South America. A movie turns an easy weekend into a dignified night, but as Lao Hu said: As long as there are people making such a movie, our world will be saved.

    The film tried to show multiple levels, but the failure resulted in a loose structure, and there were many unreasonable plots. Daniel was impressed with his naked apron, the villain played by Nyqvist was very good, and Emma Watson was pleasantly surprised. The photos of real events at the end of the film add a sense of depth to this archived history. 3.5/5

    The last half hour was wonderful, the last hour was a bit boring
