The labyrinth of silence, Germany has something to say

The poster is very interesting. It is a picture that has never appeared in the movie. Although "Auschwitz" appeared countless times in the lines, it was simplified into a meadow, a section of wall and a few chimneys in the movie. The scene flashed by, and the audience didn't have time to take a second look. The director seemed to want to use this plot to explain something, but he hesitated. There are many such passages in this movie. When the painter went home, the reporter pointed to a painting in front of the protagonist and said the name, but the camera did not show the painting, but only the expression of the protagonist. This is the director's intention, or the director's ability is limited.

Both victorious and defeated countries are very willing to make movies about World War II. No matter whether the victorious countries are good or bad, there is no historical burden, because history is written by the victors anyway, so you can write whatever you want, but The defeated country also likes to shoot, and the reason is even more sobering. The film of the defeated country will automatically add a heavy halo from the beginning of the shooting. If the film is to be good, it is not just about why it was defeated? Rather, why did we do it wrong? Winning or losing is nothing more than fairness, and right and wrong are related to justice. In most universal values, people always pursue more justice, which brings great trouble to the cultural workers of the defeated countries. Because according to the judgment standard just now, if the film of the defeated country only talks about success or failure, this is a dangerous signal. Winning and losing is a concept common to the whole world. If filmmakers use this concept to educate their audiences, national rejuvenation and national prosperity are a matter of The easy thing to do is to bring out another Hitler and lead us to win, right? But if your movie only talks about right and wrong, this is not a good signal. Every nation has its own values ​​and nationality. It is problematic to deny its own nationality and values ​​because of winning or losing a war, like As said in this movie, if every German is asked to reflect on whether their fathers were Nazis and whether they supported the Nazis, then the whole of Germany will not be a country. To condemn Nazis and anti-fascists, it's not that you create a vortex and then involve everyone in it and get rid of it yourself. The correct way is that you should have a standard and let every German know that: we not only lost, but also We did something wrong, so what should we do next. And this movie only tells us the first two points.

There are many movies of defeated countries like this that tell the Germans that they lost and that they were wrong, but there are very few movies that can really do the third point. The one that impressed me the most is "The Wiretap Storm", that one. The best part of the film is that he captured a good perspective, starting with the things that Germans love most: opera and music, and telling a story about cultural heritage, which is story, logic, nationality and culture. The fusion is simply incredible! His profoundness is that everyone who has seen it can understand that this movie tells a very simple story. This is a good movie. This movie is also a movie that people can understand. It is nothing more than a person who wants to make more What do people know, Auschwitz, where a noun has become a verb, the protagonist's purpose is to make the Germans stop "Auschwitz", but the whole movie seems to only talk about one The reason is that Auschwitz is very cruel, and it is not done by people, but here the paradox comes out. Since it is not done by people, how can you Germans do it? Are the people who do these things still human? In particular, most of these people have not been brought to justice, and some are even responsible for educating the next generation, so are the people who get along with these people still human? Is the next generation educated by them still human? Do you have an answer for this movie? The movie only tells us that these people deserve what they deserve, and that conscientious Germans will do their best to keep them under the law. If they can't, let's make a movie and let more people condemn them!

Very ridiculous logic.

The significance of Auschwitz is not how many people died, nor how cruel it is, nor whether it will happen in the future (in fact, it has always happened), but why it happened? If you don't understand this, it's useless to do a lot of publicity. If we want to curb the damage, we must understand the damage! Some might say I am the Virgin.

I am male!
