I understand but I can't do anything

I see. But I can't do anything.
Even if I could say "we don't see Jews here" in the ER ~ it wouldn't change the outcome!

Faced with such a powerful sense of powerlessness, what should we do?

I understand everything, and I can't do anything.
Even if I could say to my friends "I know they'll get me eventually"~ it won't change the ending!

Two friends, like two people locked in different phone booths ~ can understand each other's loneliness, but can't communicate ~

I, as another phone booth person ~ I envy the variety of their childhood education ~ painting, piano, Latin , Even in the gym class I always thought they could play so many tricks~

I don’t understand anything, and I can’t do anything~ What I can do and what I’m doing may be some boring things~

    "It's unbelievable. I am the only person in this school who thinks about death." In movies that almost touched the tears, I often wonder whether a person can only reach an understanding with his youth when he is close to his twilight. Compare the works of Louis Mahler in the 1950s and 1960s, and look at this work seven years before his death. He has honestly told his most secret life experience. Isn't it worth tears?

    While watching the movie, I kept thinking about the goodbye children. What is the farewell. And the clouds of war finally settled and broke out. Emotions are also substituted into the friendship between teachers, students and classmates. The final parting, only a few minutes later, became even more sad.
