Another good-looking WWII concentration camp movie! "Life is full of wonders, it depends on whether you can discover them", after watching this film, you will believe this sentence even more! In order to survive, the protagonist created his own "Persian language" with the names of nearly 3,000 prisoners! The philosopher said: Famines, plagues, wars and revolutions have caused major changes and traumas in human history for thousands of years. Therefore, in the past 100 years, there has been an endless stream of literary and artistic works reflecting on World War I and World War II, one after another. Among them, the successful ones are all based on the in-depth development and respect of historical facts. This film "written based on real events" is another example. The "new crown plague" catastrophe that we humans are experiencing now will certainly be an important topic and art object for the next hundred years. What we should do now is to encourage everyone to use words, pictures, and audio-visual means to record the reality that is happening truthfully, deeply, and meticulously, rather than one-sided, cover-up, or even prohibiting records and reports. Good literary and artistic works are always produced in the observation, excavation, reflection and precipitation of real history. Watch the film, remember it.

Officer Claus is plump than the male protagonist. He was what Hannah Arendt called "the evil of banality." He was neither patriotic nor fond of Nazis, nor hated Jews, and even the emotional changes caused by Jews were not as great as when his principles of life were challenged. Klaus, who came from the bottom, served the Nazis, all he wanted was decency and freedom from want. He hides himself as a cruel accomplice of evil, and at the same time shows his sensitivity, innocence and vulnerability because of a fake Persian. When speaking in an unskilled foreign language, it is difficult for people to lie, and they can only use the simplest words to say what they care about the most. Klaus, who speaks German, is tough and cruel, and Klaus who speaks fake Persian is shy, sad, vulnerable and helpless. Language transformed him from the ruler of other people's lives into a stammering child. And the language made with innocent lives finally shattered his dream and made him pay the price for his "banal evil". The actor's performance is awesome, and instantly makes me follow his emotions. There are many places where the core idea of this story can be expanded, but it is not too deep. After being scratched and tickled, it is still unfinished.
