detail:

1. The beginning of the film is an explosion that blows up the Nazi logo on the roof, which should be a metaphor for the whole film.

The site of the explosion may have been the blast that the U.S. military used to blow up the giant square in Nuremberg. It is said that tens of thousands of tons of explosives were used because of the Millennium Project designed by Speer, but because it was Hitler's parade site, the typical Nazi remnants were destroyed destroy.

Of course this is just speculation. The ruins after that should be excerpts from real scenes or documentaries. It is very similar to the scene of "German Year Zero" in 1948. The film was shot in the 1960s. I don't know if those ruins were preserved so well.

2. The judge's driver should be a German. As long as he encounters someone blocking the road, he will honk his horn with a blank face. On the one hand, he may guess that he does not want to listen to the Americans in the car talking about the Nazis, or it may be a hint from the director of Germany. The turbulent emotions surging in people's hearts.

3. This should not be considered a detail, it is the beginning of the film

figure:

U.S. court—

Judge Haywood: A peaceful, impartial, simple judicial representative with a deep humanistic concern.

At first, the judge was not used to being arranged in a luxurious aristocratic villa, and he was always not used to having three servants serving together. He felt like a foolish nobleman. He just heard that it would allow the three to have jobs and food, so he agreed. . I don't have a lofty sense of mission for my responsibilities. The big people are all damned dead, and there are only doctors and judges who shouldn't be tried.

Prosecutor:

Adjutant Harrison: Young and handsome West Point graduate officer, open-minded and kind, has a girlfriend of Nazi descendants, and loves each other very much.

German defendants—

Ernst Janning: The fanatical idealism in his heart, at first he was full of vigilance and indifference to both virtue and virtue, and thought that this trial was not authoritative, some as immortals, I was too lazy to talk to you Muggles, and they all made my family jump. My little fanboy just says go, it doesn't matter how you judge me anyway, I'm always my unchanging fireworks.

Law's defense attorney:

Other defendants: Basically everyone has only a few shots, but the characters are ready to show at a glance, the sinister and arrogant Imi Hahn, the shallow gentleman Friedrich who is like a screw in the state machine, the old, confused and cowardly Bernard, but These are people who defend themselves, are innocent, and always believe that they are innocent.

Witness faction

lady:

German maid couple: cautious, sincere and frightened, the judge can even startle the maid's wife with her own suitcase.

    In the catastrophe of human nature, ordinary people can be cowardly and protect themselves, but judges cannot. The role of the judiciary is not only to maintain social stability in times of peace, but also to guard the bottom line of justice when the entire country is in a frenzy.

    Justice, truth, and the value of a single human being. The emphasis on the value of an individual human being is the basis for Judge Heywood to convict Qiang Ning. When you don't value the first individual life, no amount of life is equal to nothing in front of you.

Judgment at Nuremberg quotes

    Ernst Janning: I wish to make a statement, yes.
