This small German village brings together the surging undercurrents of the whole Europe and the whole world. Class contradictions, patriarchal oppression, and physical collapse all erupted on the day of the assassination of the Grand Duke of Austria-Hungary. In the coming war, everyone's oppression are released, and each person's crime will eventually lead to his own tragedy. The perpetrators are both rebels and perpetrators, just as they were motivated to join the Nazis more than a decade later, suppressing human nature will only make the darkest part of human nature stronger. It is only a spark to get out of hand.

    A film with a lot of space for thinking and discussion, the atmosphere is very successful. Archives 2014.7.19.4pm The relationship between many characters in the village is set very clearly, the suspense is beautifully created, and the ending is neat and tidy. Seeing it on the big screen produced a completely different impression, and it felt so wonderful that it was a bit Hollywood-style deliberate.

    Haneke's masterpiece, 09 Cannes Palme d'Or. 1. It is not only a black fairy tale-like Nazi history, but also a cold outline of collective terrorism. 2. Black and white pictures, long shots, zero soundtrack, cold violence, memories interspersed with unverifiable truths, restraining repression but hitting people's hearts directly. 3. Bird-scissors-cross, the ultimate compromise of patriarchy. 4. The abuse after closing the door, the space outside the painting and the delay, thinking about Antonioni. 5. The metaphor of the doctor and the midwife. (9.5/10)
