      Women in Berlin: We will Survive, at all Costs.

      "We will survive, at all cost." In any case, trying to save a life is the philosophy of most women in the film. Perhaps one's reward for life itself is to stand firm amid the ruins. Anything outside of life is meaningless. Only by understanding this can we understand the behavior of the women in the film.

      When Nina said, "Nothing outside can hurt me anymore," she broke herself into pieces: the unprotected, the broken, the irredeemable, and the one of the intact...

      War can't keep women away

      Men always say that war makes women go away. But women have always been victims of war. No matter where they go, they cannot escape the haze brought by the war. The selfish dreams of the dictators and the self-righteousness of the powerful have not only made them taste the evil consequences of backlash, but also made people wandering on the edge of hell again and again.

        Women ended up falling victim to war, either voluntarily or by force. The beliefs that supported them to persevere...

      victim

      This is an unresolved koan. The Germans do not admit it because it is a great disgrace to Germany, and the Russians do not admit it because it is a crime against Russia.
      Rashomon was staged on both sides, but only the parties, the women in Berlin, suffered.
       
      This kind of thing can't just be aimed at the Soviet army, it's the army, there will definitely be such a thing, the US military, the Japanese army, the military of various countries.
      And throughout history, there have...

      The flower of troubled times

      The film is very tense, another "Quiet as the Sea" or "Child No. 44". I like the hero and heroine, and I like this love story hidden under the atrocities of war. You want to leave, I will hold you back, you will meet your own destiny, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know you, you said that love is insignificant, I will take all of you to Siberia, I will leave my husband to find flowers in troubled times, you can be in the ice and snow take care of yourself? We are all...

      Survival Mystery

      It's very beautiful, I recommend it, but the translation of the version I read is really poor... The translation of the English part is better than the Chinese part, and many Chinese translations are simply inexplicable.

      War and women, class and survival are the three key words I see.

      War and Women: Human beings are primitive and, at the same time, collectivized under war. The individual is submerged in the group, basically wiped out. As long as you belong to a group, the debt...

      This film cannot be seen on the surface, it is not a simple accusation of the rape and gang rape of German women after the Soviet Union invaded Berlin. The director made at least a few basic reasons: 1. The fundamental needs of women looking for men include seeking protection and for material and food; 2. After women get the first one, they will show off and compete in different ways; 3. Men may not have love, but there is a common cause (or what they need); 4. Women feel that falling in love...

      The viciousness of human nature, as well as the strong qualities that are inspired by the environment of war, appear more naked than in times of peace. In order to survive, the Red Army insisted on reaching Berlin. In order to survive, the women of Berlin chose to be strong. The theme is correct, the filming is a bit dragged, and the drama is not...

    Evaluation action

    In many World War II movies I have seen, the Soviet army has always been the representative of the justice side, but "Anonyma-Eine Frau in Berlin" has completely subverted this impression-the positive image of being brave and good at fighting and defending the country.
    Faced with women who were raped or gang-raped and killed or committed suicide during the war, Germany and the Soviet Union have always kept secret of this historical...
