    The characters are cleverly set. A down-and-out carpenter + a religious old lady, the survival of a small person in a social movement. Small town life, ordinary people's daily life and alienation from sports, so the perception of social situation is extremely subtle. The best movie in the WWII rescue theme. The kindness, weakness and helplessness of little people. The daily life of the town is full of danger. The complexity and subtlety of human nature, "fear is the root of evil", fear and evil...

    Tony is not Schindler, he is a small person, but his conscience and courage, as well as his fear and helplessness, are no different from Schindler. If Schindler's List is a historical event, then Tony's story is a small one, and it also reflects the cruelty and anti-Semitic tragedy of World War...

    The Czech New Wave is very good at showing human nature. It completely abandons drama, and keeps the characters’ psychological state in a dynamic state. The camera constantly moves to capture the action and interact with the environment to externalize the pressure. The last half hour is particularly explosive, and the closed space is squeezed. Sense maximizes the inner struggle between conscience condemnation and existential...

    Based on a variant of the new reality, the kind of film that is getting better. The ending has already been written, but it depends on how delicate the characters are transformed (I'm sorry to say that, I still can't watch "The Earth is Fluctuating"). I don't think the little intellectuals born in the middle class can feel the heavy survival of the miserable masses, just like some countries who consider themselves to be the victims of war, but can only focus on the huge and brutal war scene....

    Neighbors who used to live in harmony, suddenly hated each other because of a political order, wishing they could kill each other, what a similar story. The protagonist resisted the temptation of assets, resisted the temptation of gold, but failed to resist the intimidation of power. The final conscience discovery may be purely accidental, so it is destined to fail, otherwise it is a blasphemy to human nature. Moreover, the ghost perspective at the end is amazing! !...

    There is no shadow of a German soldier in the whole film, no siege, no chaebols and leaders. In the darkest day, the sing-along and clamoring under the sun, the storks fly back to the roof, and the white geese curl their necks to be slaughtered. One of the best WWII life films I've seen. "Shop on the...

    Super masterpiece. My favorite Jewish movie I've ever seen. The old woman often recalls the words "daughter, brother, husband" that she used to say, and it is because she has many happy memories that it is touching. The young man had repeatedly questioned the old man about the Jewish situation, and knew that in the end the old man did not believe it. She ignored what he said because she would never believe how it could be like this between people; or maybe she knew everything. , she also said,...

    I thought it was a movie that I couldn't get 5 stars anyway, because the Chinese subtitles of the downloaded version are really bad, and the translation of many paragraphs is a bit out of tune , so it can only be read together with English words, which is very laborious. However, the second half of the film, especially the last 30 minutes, is unusually exciting. Although the production of the whole film is a little rough, the script is very brilliant, especially the ending of the film, which...
