Sigh about German WWII-themed movies

Because "Our Fathers" went to Tom Schilling's pit, this movie was made by Schilling when he was young, and he really won't be disappointed if he goes for his looks. The boys who appeared one after another in the movie were more handsome than the other, and the audience was dazzled. But I only love the literary style of the little angel, and a military uniform can't hide the sadness in the light blue pupils. The background of the film is still World War II Germany attacking the Soviet Union (?) is similar to the background of the parents. Schilling's role in the two film and television dramas has a strong sense of sympathy and compassion for the innocent people in the war. I think this kind of role is the most suitable for him. This movie saw Germany brainwashing teenagers and glorifying their aggressive behavior by building the Führer School for the invasion of the Soviet Union. And the children with conscience gradually lost their sympathy and the basics of life under the orders of the officers. The first half of the movie is mostly about the friendship between Friedrich and Albrecht, and it also sets the stage for Friedrich's heartache after Albrecht's death. I smell the taste of love (I don't like same-sex themes), maybe there is a relationship between them. A little bit beyond friendship.

Any glorification of war is shameful. This film dares to shoot and kill unarmed Soviet prisoners of war is indeed worthy of admiration.

Ah, once again the young Tom Schilling!

    The childhood, the Nazi military school, the same-sex friendship, the tragedy of the times, the undercurrents of human struggle, this is simply the theme rhythm of the best foreign language film of the Oscar, it is a pity that the tepid narrative style of the German is too literary, but it makes the two It is a pity that the innocent homosexual friendship of Mei Yan Zhengtai weakens the theme of truth, goodness and beauty in the context of the great era.

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!
