    Compared to the narratives of survivors and executioners and bureaucrats, what bothered me more was the part of the interview with the residents of the small Polish town of Graber. When asked if she missed the Jews, an old lady said, "Of course, they are good. Jews". This is one of the true faces of history. Next door to the atrocity is a face of Zhang Muran, dumb and lucky (schadenfreude). 252:40...

    1. Everyone has a close-up of silence for a few seconds after the interview. 2. During the interview, the camera was pushed and pulled skillful. Residents, the third interview with experts and the empty mirror and narration are more...

    The longest and most boring movie I have ever seen. It lasted nine and a half hours, documentaries, heavy themes, multiple languages, interviews, and the worst part was that I didn't wear glasses at the time. But I still recommend it, it's still painful. In the evening, he also participated in Lanzman's meeting. Seventy-nine-year-old, quick thinking and torch-eyed. He called this film "that...

    Difficult to read several times. Sure enough, every screening of this masterpiece is like a funeral. The film also became one of the most successful naming events in film history, as the massacre became known as "Shoah" in Europe and the United States because of its appearance. The director said that the film's approach is a philosophical approach from abstract to...

    From the first perspective of the train to the gate of the concentration camp, it really makes people feel downright icy. The train has reached its destination, and the people on the train have also reached their destination. ....

    What can documentaries do when historical images cannot be made public or there are no images at all? "The Catastrophe" composed of almost unmodified original interview images and one-point perspective lens is the best answer to this question. The calmness of the narrator, the length of waiting for translation, and the singularity of camera switching make the viewer eventually numb-and it is the "numbness" that created the catastrophe [Interview with the Polish masses is the finishing touch to...

    A "travelous" film, it needs to keep returning to the scene. For this reason, all documents are rejected and only the most personal and subjective memory materials are kept, which is the testimonial image. The subjective movement of the camera rolling over the testimonial creates an invisible ghost that is Using lines to call the dead to the scene through the layers of history and time, this subjectivity also excludes heterogeneous words. The video of the executioners is dissociated through...

    The "undressing room" leading to the gas chamber, with the slogan of the anti-lice campaign written on the wall, the SS used words to dispel the collective fear of the Jews before entering the crematorium, the factory that made gas trucks, and coordinated the transportation finance and lubrication department. The bureaucracy of layers of friction... Auschwitz is the ultimate example of how modern reason and technology treat people as batch "tools" (roles that aid in killing) and "products"...

Shoah quotes

  • Franz Suchomel: If you lie enough, you believe your own lies.

  • Claude Lanzmann: You don't remember those days?

    Franz Grassler: Not much. I recall more clearly my pre-war mountaineering trips than the entire war period and those days in Warsaw. All, in all, those were bad times. It's a fact we tend to forget, thank God, the bad times more easily than the good. The bad times are repressed.
