The film tells the true story of Franz, an Austrian farmer who would rather die than serve in the Nazi army because of his moral convictions. Various representations of the mass "collective unconscious" under totalitarianism during World War II. (Individual moral adherence under the collective unconscious) Reject the "banality of evil", courage Franz's adherence to individual morality: Confusion - Exploration - Self-examination - Firm that individuals have the right to choose their own initiative, freedom and right to choose A bright soul and a kind heart. If you refuse rational thinking and choose blind obedience, you will eventually become a victim, and you will be the perpetrator of your own victimization.

    What Malik did is: use English to oppose German, use agriculture and villages to oppose military industry and towns, use Heidegger to oppose the misunderstood Nietzsche in the later period, and use looking around-worked daily to oppose all symbolic social identities; Why do these elements that seem to be in line with his usual creative ideas make the film fall into a single exhausting emotion? The key is that the goal of "using secrets against whiteness" has never been truly achieved. The characters no longer settle in unknown encounters, They retreat before leaving home; the natural gods no longer stand in the strange scenery, and they are called by their names without appearing. Since the poetic sayings have been replaced by the rigid preaching, the indoctrinating divine enlightenment There are no scenes hidden underneath, and the work has not been able to open a world-because it has never put the world back in a lock. A film about "secret" itself is exposed to broad daylight, but the dark truth is Expressing the dramatic coercion of the chest, words lose the power of naming: the protagonist sends out an incomprehensible question to the heavens, the earth and the gods, but we know that the reason for the lack of answers is to ask the wrong question.

A Hidden Life quotes

  • Franz Jägerstätter: I don't know everything. A man may do wrong, and he can't get out of it to make his life clear. Maybe he'd like to go back, but he can't. But I have this feeling inside me, that I can't do what I believe is wrong.

    Judge Lueben: Do you have a right to do this?

    Franz Jägerstätter: Do I have a right not to?

  • Fr. Fürthauer: God doesn't care what you say. Only what's in your heart
