The German biographical film "Hannah Arendt" is based on the trial of Nazi criminal Eichmann, and the famous Jewish female philosopher Hannah Arendt put forward the view of "banality of evil", that is, Eichmann Losing his thinking and becoming a tool of the evil system, the crimes he committed were not extreme evils, but mediocre evils. Hannah Arendt in the film is a woman who either smokes, meditates, or meditates with a cigarette. Her independence and uncompromising are admirable. "Understanding does not mean forgiving", "I don't love any nationality." Man, I only love friends I know." The film is made for those who are willing and able to think, and the theme of thinking is just thinking itself.

Exaggerated and superficial, it is impossible to see compared to von Trontta's works before the 1980s. The scenes of New York college teachers/intellectual circles are very pretentious (including kicks, classrooms, etc.). The actor is not in the state, much worse than the time when he played Rosa Luxemburg. Even as a female director, gender awareness has gone backwards than the previous ones. It is not whether women are the protagonists, but how to present the gender power relationship.

This kind of thing shouldn't be seen as a movie.

Lionel Abel: Who does she think she is? Aristotle?
Mary McCarthy: Unlike all of you, Hannah was actually forced into exile. She was held in a brutal detention camp. Isn't it admirable that she is the only one who can discuss this subject without beating her breast.
Norman: And why do you think that is? Because she's smarter than people with feelings?
Mary McCarthy: Well, in your case, Norman, being smarter is easy. She's more courageous than you are.

Kurt Blumenfeld: You have no love for Israel? No love for your own people? I can't laugh with you anymore.
Hannah Arendt: But Kurt, you know me. I've never loved any people. Why should I love the Jews? I only love my friends. That's the only love I'm capable of.
