The film is about Mary Sue. In this film, both the director and the first protagonist are women. It is difficult to conceal the gentle and gentle rhythm, and paint the desolate chicken feathers with soft light.
How the people under the iron hoof live, overcome rigidity with softness, and walk according to their choice.
Anthony was like that, the wife of the director of a prestigious zoo in Poland. Living under the protection of her husband, she has no worries about food and clothing, taking care of animals and raising children. On a summer morning, open the door for those waiting to enter the park and say hello to everyone. Take your kids to custom-made leather shoes, feed lynx cubs, and feed elephants fruit. This is the life God made for her.
Not far from the zoo is the vast Belarusian forest. This is the treasure hunt of the emperors. In modern times, it is a paradise for scientists and poachers. Rare beasts play and fight in the 5-600-year-old trees, and the entire forest is connected to form a delicate and plump life. Anthony has a full sense of belonging in this paradise. In order to protect the most precious animals, they will be transported to the zoo, which is their escape ship.
Antonina loved these creatures, and of course she was one of them in a larger sense. When facing animals, she can take away the superiority of human beings, jump her senses to the same frequency as those of animals, and raise them with intimacy and curiosity. This homogeneity makes animals soothe and calm.
"She gently squeezed the lynx by the back of the bobcat's neck, soft and warm, and picked him up, the little guy didn't struggle, he was limp, and she picked up another bobcat. They liked it, Their skin remembers the feeling of their mother walking around with them in her mouth."
The animals lived like this day after day, but unexpectedly, on September 1, 1939, the cannonballs fell from the sky on September 1, 1939.
She took the child to hide at the train station in despair, trying to escape. But no train was going to take these panicked Warsaws.
"It's not a drill, it's a bomber."
In the sky, there is no sun, it looks grotesque and unfamiliar, but it is not a cloud, but a white glaze light.
At that time, many people in Warsaw instinctively trusted the Polish Air Force, even though Poland was obviously inferior in number and technology, and was not a match for German bombers at all. At this time, Germany had invented a new war situation and was experimenting with Poland—a joint operation of multiple arms in order to succeed in one strike. Later, this tactic was called the German Blitz.
During the war, Antonina's brain was often tense, and she developed a habit of listening to the sound of bomber shells falling often. It was only when she heard him fall somewhere else that she could breathe a sigh of relief, and then calculated the distance between him and herself.
In order to keep the beloved zoo operating, the couple found Lutz, a German officer who was in charge, and lowered their eyebrows and said their idea of living: transforming the zoo into a pig farm, the officers must eat meat, and the zoo must be operated, killing two birds with one stone.
Obviously, although Lutz agreed to the couple's small request, he couldn't despise these pigs who lived on garbage, the Antonina he wanted.
Every day, my husband drives the car to the ghetto to pull feed, and hides a few poor Jews in the car by the way. They brought back the girl raped by the Germans, the entomology doctor who was captured, and the desperate mother and daughter. They put the smuggled Jews in the basement as a habitat for these poor people.
Comfort them, encourage them, make food for them.
In the novel "The Zookeeper's Wife", the husband also socializes with Nazi officers who are obsessed with insects. Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the Jewish ghetto every day, he disguises Jews as his colleagues and brings them to the zoo in good faith.
In history, this real couple saved more than 300 Jews under the iron hoof caught by Zhang Yawu.
Zoo doesn't just belong to animals anymore, it belongs to a larger range of animals.
During the day, under the "visit" of the German army anytime and anywhere, they hid downstairs and kept silent. At night, they dared to walk out when they heard the piano signal of Anthony.
Lutz would visit at any time to wipe Antonina's oil, which deepened her tension. Facing the ambiguous attack step by step, she could only step back or cooperate rigidly.
I think the movie is deliberately making Anthony simple here. A mother of a 5-year-old child, a woman who has been married for 6 years, will be nervous like a little girl in the face of another male pressing step by step. Same. Even though Anthony lived under the protection of her husband before and had no social experience, I still felt that it was too simple.
It is very interesting that many film and television works divide the derailed women into two types: one is purer than a girl, and the other is a poisonous woman who indulges in greed and enjoyment in order to vent her desires. "Day Yan" is a good example, but everything is not so extreme, right?
It was 1944, and the long war was about to come to an end. Young joined the guerrilla unit against Germany, but unfortunately was captured in the battle.
Is there any other way for Anthony? I can only go to Lutz, but I don't have the determination to commit myself to him, so I run away temporarily.
Losing their blessings and being pinched by Lutz, she and her son can only open their hometown step by step like ordinary refugees. She led her son, just as she took her son to the street on the still quiet morning of September 1, 1939.
Looking back, it was September 1945. The German army had retreated. She stayed with her child to the devastated zoo and found dusty insect specimens in the basement. That winter, strawberry leaves were found under the snow in the garden again, and new things grew inadvertently on the devastated land.
