    I don’t know why this movie without the “same-sex” label was classified into this category, but the role setting is biased towards the cliché "reckless kid from the poor + the weak scholar from the rich". But the actual content of the film shows the pure friendship of mutual sympathy and the aura of humanity that is implied. I don't know how many people will be misled by this label to miss such a good movie with such a strong humanistic...

    The childhood, the Nazi military school, the same-sex friendship, the tragedy of the times, the undercurrents of human struggle, this is simply the theme rhythm of the best foreign language film of the Oscar, it is a pity that the tepid narrative style of the German is too literary, but it makes the two It is a pity that the innocent homosexual friendship of Mei Yan Zhengtai weakens the theme of truth, goodness and beauty in the context of the great...

    The true interpretation of "The Tide", but perhaps too much emphasis on the restoration of history, on the contrary, the space left for reflection is quite limited, most of the time is to show a cruel fact. The boys in war is still a very basic movie, and the feeling beyond friendship between the two male protagonists is a rare highlight. In other places, it is still inseparable from the brainwashing education of the Nazis, which is nothing new. It's a good grasp between seriousness and...

    See how they destroy the sympathy and humanity of the boys little by little. They just want to win, unscrupulous victory, this kind of enthusiasm is suffocating. The director can also reveal the fragility and beauty of human nature in this cold...

    It is a very interesting starting point for understanding Napola, but why has this cold and desperate film turned into an innocent genre? The soothing and full string music is used unrestrainedly, soft light, dissolving, and it is no wonder that it is regarded as a homosexual...

    Actually, I’m a little bit afraid of this-not cruelty or something-but the type of beautiful...

    At their best age, they could have written a lot of poetic articles and had sweet love, but they were circled in this school and received severe training time and time again every day, just to go to the battlefield. When the purpose became cold and cruel, the flame in the heart of the new students gradually extinguished. So being a "coward" in the eyes of others is not a relief for them in "purgatory"? Began to suspect that Antoine-Olivier Pilon, the hero of "Mummy", has German ancestry. Why is...

Before the Fall quotes

  • Christoph Schneider: Pull yourself together!

    Albrecht Stein: Pull myself together? Do you know what we just did? You shouldn't have shot! You shouldn't have shot!

    Tjaden: I didn't give the order. Your father said they had guns!

    Albrecht Stein: Why are you looking at me like that?

    Friedrich Weimer: I'm not looking at you.

    Albrecht Stein: I know what you're thinking. Don't look at me like that!

  • Albrecht Stein: [reading from his essay] "As childish as it sounds, the winter time and the sight of freshly fallen snow always fill us with inexplicable joy. Perhaps because as children, we associated it with Christmas. I always imagine myself the hero who killed dragons, rescued virgins, and freed the world from evil. As we went out yesterday to find the prisoners, I felt like that little boy who wanted to save the world."

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: But as we returned, I understood that I am part of the evil that I wanted to save us from.

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: Shooting prisoners is wrong. They were not armed, as Governor Stein told us, to incite us. We didn't shoot men, only children.

    Vogler: Out!
