Please don't kill a zealous person with personality assassination
I can't say whether he is right or not. Although I can give him a general term "fanatic", but to define him like this is actually a big mistake, and there is too much contradiction behind it.
If you don’t understand, kill a male lead and another will come out.
Because to define a person is to deny a person.
It's the assassination of personality. It is laziness in thinking. It's the evil of mediocrity.
What the male protagonist wants to express, in my opinion, is a kind of... -

A person who is truly obsessed with faith
First of all, the vulgar protagonist is very handsome...The
plot is very attractive. A Jewish youth, but a Nazi fanatic, took part in the huge plan of the Nazi organization. Many things in the implementation process reminded him In the past exploration of faith, he made an unexpected decision at a critical moment. The
film used some flashback techniques. When I first watched it, I couldn't react to it. Later, after careful consideration, I found the true taste. It is a pity... -

I am a person who is more fascinated by religion, but I have never believed in any kind of religion. It may be Buddhism that is a little bit more religious, but I have never prayed for anything. This may be one of the manifestations of a negative life. The reason I am fascinated is that I really want to understand what makes people so enthusiastic. I asked the duck what he believed in, and the duck said he believed in Buddha. I said, fart, what you believe in is the lower body. The duck twisted...

Those who are fanatical are not crazy
I'm a little dizzy after reading it,
maybe he is still not familiar with his cultural background, and it is
not easy to understand.
Whether you read it or not
, I think it's a good film,
and it makes sense. .
Maybe I'm too hypocritical. . .
I remember early days can read a report
said that the child was a dog cell, the result was a dog who put this video sent to the Internet
the results of a lot of people to denounce,
but there are... -

The high commander really is a master who can act. The internal quarrel in the church about Jewish artifacts was interesting and crucial. Compared with other neo-Nazi-themed works that focus on story, drama and tension, this film focuses more on Danny’s inner entanglement and thought changes, from questioning Jewish culture to hatred to returning to identity, no matter which stage it goes to. He is a believer and a thinking believer....

Probably the most interesting movie about a crisis of faith, apart from religious factors, a person's hatred and denial of one's own race is also a point worth exploring. Zero identity recognition is too easy for people to go to extremes, although conservatism is now Prevailing, there are several visible undercurrents under the...

Daniel Balint: Let me put it this way: Who wants to destroy the Jews? Who wants to grind their bones into the dust? And who wants to see them rise again? Wealthier, more successful, powerful, cultured, more intelligent than ever? Then you know what we have to do? We have to love 'em. What? Did he say ''Love the Jews''? It's strange, I know. But with these people, nothing is simple. The Jew says all he wants is to be left alone to study his Torah... do a little business... fornicate with his oversexed wife,but it's not true. He wants to be hated. He longs for our scorn. He clings to it, as if it were the very core of his being. If Hitler had not existed, the Jews would've invented him. For without such hatred, the so-called Chosen People would vanish from the earth. And this reveals a terrible truth and the crux of our problem as Nazis. The worse the Jews are treated, the stronger they become. Egyptian slavery made them a nation. The pogroms hardened them. Auschwitz gave birth to the state of Israel. Suffering, it seems, is the very crucible of their genius. So, if the Jews are,as one of their own has said... a people who will not take ''yes'' for an answer... let us say ''yes'' to them. They thrive on opposition. Let us cease to oppose them. The only way to annihilate this insidious people once and for all... is to open our arms, invite them into our homes... and embrace them. Only then will they vanish into assimilation, normality and love. But we cannot pretend. The Jew is nothing if not clever. He will see through hypocrisy and condescension. To destroy him, we must love him sincerely. If the Jews are strengthened by hate, wouldn't this... destruction that you speak of, whether it's by love or any other means... wouldn't that make them more powerful than they are already? Yes. lnfinitely more. They would become as God. It's the Jews' destiny to be annihilated so they can be deified. Jesus understood this perfectly. And look what was accomplished there with the death of just one enlightened Jew. Imagine what would happen if we killed them all."

Mrs. Frankel: What do you think you would have done if you had been there?
Daniel Balint: Not what he did. Just stand there and watch?
Mrs. Frankel: How do you know? You've never been tested like he has. Here in this rich, safe, stupid country it is so easy to imagine oneself a hero. But, you have no idea what it was like. You can't conceive of it. Everything, all of Europe, was designed to break one's will. Millions went to camps many stronger, braver than you. They did nothing. Just as you would have done nothing.

Daniel Balint: In the mere three centuries since these guys emerged from the ghettos of Europe, they've taken us from a world built on order and reason and hurled us into a chaos of class warfare, irrational urges and relativity, a world where the very existence of matter and meaning is in doubt.
Daniel Balint: Why? Because it is the deepest impulse of the Jewish soul to unravel the very fabric of life until nothing is left but thread, nothing but nothingness.
Daniel Balint: Nothingness without end.
