I'm going to give a high rating.
why? After watching it, there is a strange feeling, the mood is completely different from watching other films, it is a special heavy feeling and an indescribable sigh.
There are several exclamation points.
Reflections of Germans: The madness and brutality of World War II, the distortion of people's spirits and thoughts, made the government and organization dehumanized, and Hitler brought a worldwide disaster.
In any case, there will be those who are awake: the soldier Franz, who is awake in thought, although hazy, but expresses his own unique views on the madness of Hitlers and the meaning of war, and finally is disgusted, resisted, and is not dying. Change.
Comparable history: such a crazy period, such a crazy and inhumane era, it is hard to imagine how it happened. In fact, it occurs repeatedly. History is often repeated and comparable. Think about whether there was a similar madness and the extinction of humanity decades ago.
The awake are always in the minority: when people are awake, they find it inconceivable, but in it, the awake are in the minority, and the awake who resist are even fewer. Franz is in the minority, although his lucidity is hazy, His resistance behavior is soft, but his heart is strong, and he is able to give up everything that is beautiful. He does not give up his beliefs. He would rather be executed than change his beliefs. It can't be called how great, but it is much harder than many hardships and hardships, and it is more cruel than directly participating in war, even if it is killed in battle.
Expressing the power of love: Franz and his wife have a particularly good relationship when they share a happy time, and Franz's uncooperativeness to the ruler is understood by his wife. After Franz was caught in prison, he took on the responsibility of a rural farmhouse. Everything in the family, taking care of an old man and three children, managing cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs, planting wheat, vegetables and fruit trees, harvesting and processing, ploughing the land, dredging deep wells, and running around for the husband’s affairs, which is even more painful. It is to endure the hatred and insults of the villagers, and to show a strong woman extremely well.
The film's expression is novel: the storyline switches back and forth, without being far-fetched, and the characters' language is concise. Contrast is the main method.
Deeper ideological expression: The whole film is ideological and full of philosophy and philosophy, which makes the viewer think deeply. It has religious beliefs and ethnic characteristics. Although it is sometimes conceptualized, it is basically harmonious.
The German countryside is really beautiful: The film takes the countryside of the Alps as the background, making this open and beautiful place enviable. If the rural life in the German countryside is not for the war or the madness of the government, I don’t know how happy it is. This is a hidden contrast.
Video title: Hidden happy life, but not hidden due to turbulent times, let an anonymous villager who lived quietly and carefree in this hidden village for generations, with social changes, was involved in the tide and escaped. not fall.
"...the goodness of the world increases in part by unsung behavior, and the reason why things around you and me are not so bad is partly due to those who do not seek fame, but live faithfully, and who die without condolences "(George Elliott)
