The extermination camp, the factory where the Jews were slaughtered.
The rigor of the Germans is also vividly demonstrated when killing people: they emphasize the efficiency of killing, and strive to kill the most Jews in the shortest time; destroy the dead bodies and organize Jewish labor to burn the big bones that have not been burned, piece by piece. It was broken, broken into powder, and poured into the river without a trace.
In the nine-hour movie, there were almost no... -

Handling: Zhang Xianmin interviews Claude Lanzman
(This article is reproduced from the interview with Zhang Xianmin, "No. 10 Screening Room" of CCTV Channel 10, invaded and deleted)
Zhang Xianmin: Before and at the beginning of the Second World War, what was your life in Europe as a Jewish child?
Lanzman: This question is very difficult to answer. First of all, I fully understand this question. This is to find a causal relationship between my life and "Havoc". I repeat, this question is difficult to answer because...

The history of aphasia is gentle
(Sorry to interrupt the topic first. Some people in the short comment criticized sleep indiscriminately. Thank you. Please be able to successfully stare at the screen for 9 hours before judging others. It is an option to separate a few days to see it, but it is by no means a complete collection of ideas. method, marathon screenings torture people, and this kind of torture is also a channel for the transmission of catastrophe.)
For 9 hours everyone was commenting on the...

Abandon the classic narrative form and replace it with a more radical and challenging picture
Since the camera was first aimed at concentration camps in Europe, filmmakers have faced many challenges. How to respect history? And how to choose the most meaningful way to describe this atrocity? Although the narratives describing the Holocaust are meant to present real events, commemorative films are often more open and raise some deeper questions.
1. How...

This crazy history lives like a legacy in the marrow of the only remaining Jewish people. The extremely flat narrative and the absence of any horrific photos and images are shocking. Quarantines are like islands in normal life. There is more than one island in this world. Remember the haunted first half and the second half where the lucidity is getting...

It is said to be 4K restoration, but in fact the picture quality is not good, and the film feeling is very serious. It is no wonder that the introduction is 16mm film at the beginning. It's really lengthy. For more than nine hours, the interviewees narrated their memories and feelings, and there was no scene restoration at all. I think the essence is in the second half, especially the barber shop and the survivors. Lightness of life. The long shots are endless, and the photography is really...

Modernity and the Holocaust. The evasion of moral responsibility on the grounds of "I don't know" under the bureaucratic system, the comparison between the witness's oral and a few strings of numbers on a document is worth pondering. As a documentary, it is indeed not very artistic, but the director did not cut it to make it more "easy to watch". Keeping records of this sort of thing is a...

I have never had such a big fear of a movie. This film mainly tells about the extinction of European Jews during World War II. Through the interviews of reporters, people are more shocked by things other than the film. As a war documentary, the film has no images about the Holocaust. It is almost completed in the form of dialogue from beginning to end. These nine and a half hours are undoubtedly a torture whether you are concerned with the length of the film or the cruel...

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.

Claude Lanzmann: But a ghetto like Warsaw's, in a great capital, in the heart of the city...
Franz Grassler: That was unusual.
Claude Lanzmann: You say you wanted to maintain the ghetto?
Franz Grassler: Our mission wasn't to annihilate the ghetto, but to keep it alive, to maintain it.
Claude Lanzmann: What does "alive" mean in such conditions?
Franz Grassler: That was the problem. That was the whole problem.
Claude Lanzmann: But people were dying in the streets. There were bodies everywhere?
Franz Grassler: Exactly. That was the paradox.
Claude Lanzmann: You see it as a paradox?
Franz Grassler: I'm sure of it.
Claude Lanzmann: Why? Can you explain?
Franz Grassler: No.
Claude Lanzmann: Why not?
Franz Grassler: Explain what? But the fact is... That wasn't maintaining! Jews were being exterminated daily in the ghetto wrote... To maintain it properly we'd have needed more substantial rations and less crowding.
Claude Lanzmann: Why weren't the rations more humane? Why weren't they? That was a German decision wasn't it?
Franz Grassler: There was no real decision to starve the ghetto. The big decision to exterminate came much later.
Claude Lanzmann: That's right, later. In 1942.
Franz Grassler: Precisely.
Claude Lanzmann: A year later.
Franz Grassler: Just so. Our mission, as I recall it, was to manage the ghetto, and naturally with those inadequate rations and the over-crowding, a high, even excessive death rate was inevitable.
Claude Lanzmann: Yes. What does "maintain" the ghetto mean in such conditions, the food, sanitation, etcetera? What could the Jews do against such measures?
Franz Grassler: They couldn't do anything.
Claude Lanzmann: Why did Czerniakow commit suicide?
Franz Grassler: Because he realised there was no future for the ghetto. He probably saw before I did that the Jews would be killed.
-
Claude Lanzmann: Yes, but do you know how many people died in the ghetto each month in 1941?
Franz Grassler: I don't know now, if I ever knew.
Claude Lanzmann: But you did know. There are exact figures.
Franz Grassler: I probably knew...
Claude Lanzmann: Yes. Five thousand a month.
Franz Grassler: Five thousand a month? Yes, well... That's a lot...
