It's not great but it's true!

We can find that the protagonist in the play is not an ideal character. He is not as kind as ordinary people and can even be said to be dehumanizing. But isn't this Germany in World War II? Everyone is doing their own work that seems innocent at all, but the combination is horrible Nazism. After the war, those soldiers didn't feel that they had committed any crime. "We are just carrying out the commander's order", what about the commander? , is also constantly carrying out orders from superiors, which really reminds me of the Cultural Revolution in China! Yes, there is nothing wrong with everyone, but no one follows the goodness of the heart! Everyone is wise to protect themselves, so that the "modern mean" has set China back for so many years! I believe that the "moderation" still exists to this day. I wonder if each of us will have the courage to say "No!" if the country experiences that again! ?

    At the beginning, the most amazing thing was that a low-level soldier actually used a uniform to direct and act as a tall senior officer, and successfully deceived everyone's acting skills. After all, some temperaments can't be put on by clothes, just like the shop owner said. : Now the uniform is not good enough. On the other hand, it also makes people marvel at the rigorous military and political system of Germany during World War II. The most regrettable thing is to discover how vulnerable the rule of law is in the face of the rule of man. Sticking a label to the supreme head of state, you can rob and kill arbitrarily. We know that the captain is rampant all the way, even if there is a passerby character who is deeply questioned, nothing will happen. However, because of the obscenity of the head of state, no one dares to check the origin of this person, and more What is terrifying and ridiculous is that the easter egg is a wake-up call to modern and contemporary human society. No passers-by question the rationality of World War II soldiers forcibly robbing contemporary passers-by to resist. Just like the society we live in, there are still liars with various names running rampant. Why? Do they still have room to live? It can be seen that what really needs to be flogged is not the magnified dark desire to kill, but to reflect on the fragility of human society. The social operating mechanism can be recklessly attacked by its own virus.

    C++ / I always feel that the historical reflections of some German films today have fallen into some rigid formulas and have gradually become ineffective. The film was once caught in the exaggerated sketch of the irrational expansion of power, but the final destination has extracted something new: it is not the excessive profligacy that represents the exercise of power, but the power incorporates arrogance into its mechanism. Rationalized to expand and operate more efficiently. But the ending blurs that precision again, perhaps without some dramatic simplification.
