      Photographers in the concentration camp

      Although the film is called "The Photographer in the Concentration Camp", it revolves around photos. Photos are a vehicle for recording history, and prisoners can only use photos to prove that the experiences they described are real. However, it can also be found from the film that the "facts" recorded in the photos can also be faked. "You gave these criminals a stick, and they became "jailers"." It is ironic. It is obvious that they have the same identity and the same experience. People who...

      Photographers in the concentration camp

      A Catalan prisoner who worked as an archiver in a Nazi concentration camp took advantage of his position and stole the negatives of photographs that documented the atrocities of the Nazis. This film is adapted from a real event, taking advantage of the fact that it is a dumb, and quickly dealt with the matter dumb, so awesome lines. I think the scene of the dumb girl rubbing herself needs a frontal nude scene. The history of a large number of Spaniards detained in the Mauthausen...

      Photographers in the concentration camp

      Li Qi, an international student, went to study in New York from Hong Kong alone, thinking that her boyfriend would be the one who would pick up the plane, but when she arrived, it would be a distant relative and a quake who works in Chinatown. It turned out that his boyfriend had already empathized, which made Li Qi very sad and locked herself in the room. Chuanqiu didn't feel relieved and went to inquire. When he smelled the gas, he thought that Li Qi had committed suicide. It turned out...

      Photographers in the concentration camp

      Great screenwriter, strong lines. Lara's actors showed excellent acting skills. The scene in the cafe is very powerful, a movie that requires patience. He is alone, without love, in that era of no stable value. It's been ten years, and Asan can take pictures of tigers and cats and make another "Three Stupid", how about us? What about us? There is not even a mouse~ The Finns really think that this battle should not be fought, so they remake this subject three times. The veterans who...

      not bad

      The film "Cameraman in a Concentration Camp" is adapted from a true story, telling the story of a Spanish photographer in a German concentration camp who risked his life to preserve evidence of the evil deeds of the Germans. One thing that makes people feel flawed is that when the protagonist's behavior revealed that he was about to be shot, the German ran for his life in a hurry and did not kill him. In fact, it is a little deliberate here. If the Germans abandon the car and run away, the...

      I’ve seen a film about hidden photos in concentration camps before, but I can’t remember it. I feel that this film is relatively bland in general. The actors have little room to play, and the plot connection is rather abrupt (for example, the Nazis already knew that the negatives were hidden, but they still couldn’t find them) , the prison cell and the people who have been in contact with the protagonist do not investigate?) This kind of cruel film is still not as shocking as the...

      5 points, the history of a large number of Spaniards being detained in the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria during World War II is too straightforward as a whole. [Score range 4-5...

      Francesc Boix: That is cheating.

      Paul Ricken: This is art.

      Paul Ricken: Some pictures have to be touched up. Some others, only the staging. Human beings are malleable.

    • Francesc Boix: [Looking at the Head of Medusa painting] I like it.

      Paul Ricken: Be careful. It used to turn onlookers to stone. I like having some artists as references.

      Francesc Boix: I prefer taking pictures of reality.

      Paul Ricken: Reality doesn't exist, Franz. It all depends on the point of view. Don't forget it.
