      The saddest thing about this movie is not death, but loneliness

      Although the movie is based on the assassination of Hitler as a clue, the world that the director presents to us is more focused on Elser as a human individual. In a war, all personal interests are no longer important, and the entire country is like a war machine, constantly driving forward with fanaticism as fuel. In the small movie studio, the crowds enthusiastically supporting the Nazi Party were mixed with strong smoke and shouted: Long live Hitler. And Elser's calmness is the most...

      The performance of the "incompetent"

      Speak truth, because there can not be evaluated "elser" shooting skills
      may be my body too deep reason
      from beginning to end, we are the first perspective to viewing
      like a marionette-like tear, let the heart be drama Shiraz to Chequ
      in fact, as early as ten years ago in the main line read from the unofficial history of World War II
      but still leaves stupid tears

      "The Man Who Almost Changed the World"

      "The Man Who Almost Changed the World" ~ The film tells about a person without party affiliation. Through his clever head and calm judgment, he almost succeeded in assassinating Hitler alone. It is a German film ~ Director Oliver Sisberg, that tells The way of reversing the insertion is very smooth and abnormal. Every time the camera transfer is very clear, beautiful, unobtrusive, not sensational, and progresses layer by layer, quietly telling and listening quietly. [Applause] It's a master [强]...

      Romanticism and cold reality

      The film consists of two parts: the protagonist's romantic personality and memories, and the cold environment of the real world.
               The romantic personality is permeated by the songs sung by Elser. He always lives in his romantic heart. He doesn't care about morality or party affiliation and ideals. He is a person living in his own world. He only believes in what he thinks is right. So until the end, the chief of police still thought he was a delusional sufferer. For Elser, he is the...

      If the bomb plan is successful, what will history be like? Of course history has no ifs. Our present is the result of historical choices. The male protagonist's idea is very clear, for his future life, for his loved ones, for the people, and even for the entire country, not to suffer disasters. But his approach was impulsive and ill-considered. Not only was it unsuccessful, but it killed innocents and implicated relatives. But seeing that the male protagonist's past is a scumbag, the change in...
