I'm wrong

I was wrong, I shouldn't have seen this movie with tinted glasses in the first place.
A friend recommended this film, so I dragged it down from the emule. Since my friend overemphasized the homosexuality in this film, I watched this film with tinted glasses from the very beginning.
However, it turns out I was wrong. What absolutely fascinates me is the indescribable sadness and helplessness that runs through the entire story.
People have always said that the times create heroes, but on the other hand, the times have also created countless tragedies and the decline of human nature. Albrecht was a victim, but he was not a victim of the Nazis, but a victim of his father's spiritual indoctrination by the Nazis. At that time, the Nazis were not wrong, and neither was his father. The fault was that he was a little white in all black. , the fault is that his father can't accept this whiteness, and he can't stand this blackness.
Now watching Nazi films, sometimes I wonder if G×C×D is doing all this intentionally or unintentionally. I no longer believe in it. I just saw the scene in the film where medals were ordered for dead comrades, and then I looked at the streets around me. 17 big red flags are fluttering, and I really have no confidence in this.
Friedrich was lucky because he left this demon land, and Albrecht was unfortunate because he could not get rid of the entanglement of his destiny as the son of a demon, so he could only choose to end his own destiny by himself.
If a person can't change his own destiny, perhaps it is a relief to end him personally. This is not to bow down to fate, nor to admit defeat to fate. Only those who give up on themselves are to admit defeat. fate can no longer be entangled.
In one detail, Albrecht's father burst into tears after learning of Albrecht's death. These small details may be the things that make this film not so gloomy and give a little hope at the end.

Before the Fall quotes

  • Christoph Schneider: Pull yourself together!

    Albrecht Stein: Pull myself together? Do you know what we just did? You shouldn't have shot! You shouldn't have shot!

    Tjaden: I didn't give the order. Your father said they had guns!

    Albrecht Stein: Why are you looking at me like that?

    Friedrich Weimer: I'm not looking at you.

    Albrecht Stein: I know what you're thinking. Don't look at me like that!

  • Albrecht Stein: [reading from his essay] "As childish as it sounds, the winter time and the sight of freshly fallen snow always fill us with inexplicable joy. Perhaps because as children, we associated it with Christmas. I always imagine myself the hero who killed dragons, rescued virgins, and freed the world from evil. As we went out yesterday to find the prisoners, I felt like that little boy who wanted to save the world."

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: But as we returned, I understood that I am part of the evil that I wanted to save us from.

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: Shooting prisoners is wrong. They were not armed, as Governor Stein told us, to incite us. We didn't shoot men, only children.

    Vogler: Out!
