Adventure in the dark with love and hope

At the end of the film, there was a brief blank in my brain, and my mood was blocked...
Through those high barbed wire, mass killing machines, calm excuses and eyes, we saw the other side of reason - in control of the evil In the hands of the devil, and at the same time, we see the sincere friendship between young hearts, without much reason.
However, the child is too young, and his kindness leads him to the end of his life. The two little boys disappear into the dark gas chamber with their innocent souls. This is really a cruel ending. For adults, this is the punishment of sin, and for children, their souls are enough for eternal happiness in heaven.
The cover of the poster is a bit beautiful, like the clear blue eyes of a boy. Regarding that period of history, this is not a heavy speculation film, but it is more memorable than any heavy speculation. There is such a striking English sentence on the film's official website: Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us: Barbed wire divides us, but hope binds us together.
But what kind of hope is that? Could it be the survival of the two boys behind that icy iron gate? Or is the world a better place after Auschwitz?
No, none of this is real hope, it's not what we expected to get. True hope exists only where there is love in the dark, even if the future is an unknown and cold danger.

    The contrast between pure children and diabolical Nazis makes the ending even more unacceptable.

    The only downside is that the English is a bit inconsistent
