    Although simplified, it shocked me more than Schindler's List. It can be foreseen that the shock and influence on Europe and the world at that time must include...

    The whole is an epic, with narration, video, and soundtrack perfectly integrated. This is not shouting or berating, but just a quiet remark, but it arouses a huge echo in the hearts of the viewers. When you close your eyes, it will continue for a long...

    Alan Raynai became famous, and it was also the beginning of his exploration of the motif of memory and forgetting. The color reality images are in cruel contrast with the black and white historical records. Under the poetic narration and the forbearance and restraint of the lens, the inhuman crimes of the Nazi Holocaust shock every audience, and the shocking scenes (the burial of the bulldozer, the hair and the broken body of Chengshan) ) Is chilling. The 30-minute documentary and the 9-hour...

    "When memories go back to the past, we pretend to regain hope. We pretend that it will only happen once at a time and place. We are blind to our surroundings. Pretending not to hear, humans keep...

    Adorno said: "It is barbaric to write poetry after Auschwitz." From a positive perspective, this sentence means that romantic lyricism cannot counter the violence of totalitarianism. Justice requires violence; from a negative perspective, this is A manifestation of loss of confidence in the dignity of civilization. What poetry can't do, the sword will do it; what the sword can't do, the poetry will do...

    "Adorno said that there is no poetry after Auschwitz, which points out the brutality and ambiguity of history, making people speechless, and poetry can only write about the catastrophe and the gap between the description of the catastrophe, the abyss between history and language." But the facts. Upper Adorno does not believe that writing poetry is impossible in modern times, as evidenced by Baudelaire's comments. I also feel that this documentary, which is both literary and naked and bloody, is...

    We pretend to believe that all these belong to another era and another country, but we don't look around ourselves, and we don't hear anyone crying...

    Powerful&poetic! It uses the color shots + remaking black/white historic footages. An immersion of form&content, subjectivity&objectivity, coolness&hotness, now&past. Music isn't match the feeling, that's good! In the end, the narrative spread the question to universalism. Cruel...

    A mighty force. The 32-minute period contains almost all the elements worth discussing about the Nazi concentration camps. Whether it is black humor or a calm examination, it is just right. Of course, the most shocking are the disgusting images. "Night and Fog" and "Hall of Catastrophe" are simply the two extremes of the Holocaust historical documentary, one long and one short, one fast and one slow, one video and one dictation, but the same is the jaw-dropping...

    In 1956, director Alan Renai used a camera to lead the audience back to Auschwitz. The former site of the Nazi concentration camp was already a peaceful and beautiful wild scenery. However, back in time when the Nazi Party came to power in 1933, the entire city was shrouded in haze-large-scale construction of concentration camps lined up, and a large number of Jews were arrested in the camps and began to receive inhuman torture and insults. The race is graded here, and the skin is tattooed with...
