[A+] No wonder Polanski said that this is his most proud work, and he deserves it. Leaving aside the superb and mature audiovisual expressions, Guan's "subjective peeping" perspective recurring in the film is enough to discuss. This kind of "subjective peeping" lens design is really powerful. On the one hand, it not only fits the protagonist's own escape hidden predicament, but also actively restrains those tyrannical images in terms of visual expression. On the contrary, it makes the emotion conveyed in the image more profound. Speaking of "restraint" is also one of the main themes of this film. Every picture is calm enough, and every character maintains a corresponding demeanor, which makes the human tragedy reflected behind it even more unbearable. This is a truly great anti-war movie. Whether it is audiovisual, emotional, or perspective and expression, it has achieved an impeccable appreciation of elegance and commonality, which is admirable.

Wladyslaw Szpilman: It's an official decree, no Jews allowed in the parks.
Dorota: What, are you joking?
Wladyslaw Szpilman: No, I'm not. I would suggest we sit down on a bench, but that's also an official decree, no Jews allowed on benches.
Dorota: This is absurd.
Wladyslaw Szpilman: So, we should just stand here and talk, I don't think we're not allowed to do that.
