Nach Auschwitz gibt es keine Gedichte mehr
――――TWAdorno
This is a humiliating past of cannibalism in the history of mankind. This is the introspection and inquiry of a weak and injured nation on its own responsibility.
"The Pianist", a film about the living conditions of Jews in the Polish Jewish quarter under Nazi rule. It is not only recalling the past of suffering and cruelty, but also the soul's questioning of the humble and weak Jewish nation:
What were you doing when the disaster happened? What were you doing when the unarmed compatriot fell in a pool of blood? Is your silence helpless or timid? ! Is there any conscience and guilt in your living? !
"If you sting us, how can we not bleed? If you make us happy, how can we not laugh? If you poison us, how can we not die? If you wrong us, how can we not retaliate? "This is a Jewish chant in the Jewish quarter. This passage is from the third act of Shakespeare’s "The Merchant of Venice." The first scene of the Jewish Sherlock’s words is telling a certain lack of most people in the Jewish quarter, not just the flesh. Being enslaved by the Nazis, even the spirit was conquered and enslaved.
In fact, the Jewish pianist Spearman is more like the eyes of the director in the whole film. He witnessed everything that happened in the Jewish quarter. He witnessed the life and death that happened every moment. He witnessed the brutality and killing of human beings. .
A wall isolates humanity and humanity; a wall imprisons all reason.
Days will suffer in long periods of fear; life will be experienced in the demise of self-esteem.
Death is connected to death, and finally one day, you turn a blind eye to all this, your compatriots are disappearing, and you are alive, just "alive". Polanski used a very calm lens to record the historical events that took place. There is no judgment in moral will, only every moment that happened.
To live, for the sake of our own life, we cannot long for anyone to become a hero, but we have reasons to let anyone become a human being. This is when death takes the full meaning, life must ask itself!
The disabled man who was pushed downstairs by the Nazis;
the innocent Jews killed by submachine guns in the dark;
the child who starved to death in the street, oh! Child;
the stray old man who was overthrown in the food street;
the pile
of jewish items that were looted; the jewish girl who was beaten to death for no reason...
Enough, really enough! Need to list all the deaths of the sons of man? Need more blood and cruelty to be told? Adorno [Note 1] said: There are no poems after Auschwitz. Similarly, in the face of suffering, we are hypocritical to talk about morality and justice.
In a country where there is no personality and dignity, those who steal and die are the choices of life. We who live in ease and peace have no right to accuse the inhumane in order to live alone. Instinctive consciousness of survival.
With the help of Spearman’s eyes, the film stared coldly at everything that happened. This calmness is a scrutiny of human brutality. This is a cross-examination of history:
Why are there such incidents, why do we repeat slaughter and brutality again and again!
I heard an angry shout from a Jewish director! I heard a man's accusation against inhumanity!
On the deserted street, there was a mess, Spearman was crying, is he crying himself? No, he is weeping for all humanity, weeping for the history of human cannibalism, weeping for the fate of mankind (from ancient Rome to the conflict between Palestine and Israel). Humans are still killing their own people.
We are the victims or the perpetrators.
We are in it...
Polanski chose a lot of Chopin’s music as the music of the film. This is unique. Chopin, as the great composer of the Polish nation, is a famous patriot in the history of music. Choosing his music as the theme is the cry of the director's soul in peace: calling for an indomitable spirit of resistance, calling for people to stand upright.
Some people say: this is "a poem of hope that comes from a whisper...even though the film is not like "Schindler's List" with wonderful music to the end". It's nonsense.
Whether it's "Schindler's List" or "The Pianist", they all contain a huge sorrow in the soothing melody. This is the suffering in depression, this is tearless crying! This extremely self-restrained grief and anger is just a kind of fear and despair in the depths of the soul. This is people, everything that our previous people have experienced. Music is the projection of the soul, the only light that crosses hopelessness. This is the faint flame of a hurricane, suffering in the frozen century, waiting for the possible sunshine.
The encounter between Spearman and the German officer in the ruins is a necessary setting for the director. There is no humanity in the war, but the family background and personal education as an individual before the war will wake up at a certain moment. At that moment, there is no society. The concept of learning is only human nature itself.
The dialogue between Adagio in the first movement of "Moonlight Sonata" and Chopin's "First Ballad" is very dramatic. This is a process of self-salvation of two lives. The German military officer knows that the general situation is over, and the "Nazi officer" as a social role is about to complete history. The "Moonlight Sonata" expresses his deep desire for a return and a kind recovery, which also relieves him. Spearman made the necessary preparations. At this moment, they are two symbols of the director, which are the musical motives for completing the rebirth of the soul.
And Spearman played Chopin's "Ballard No. 1" in G minor [Note 2] (OP23), based on Mickiewicz [Note 3]'s narrative poem "Conrad Wallenrod" [ Note 4] This subject of resistance is a gesture given to itself by a long-humiliated soul. This is the awakening of dignity, this is the contempt for death and fear; at this time a life that was once weak stands up again.
Music is a bridge, an Esperanto that transcends national boundaries. She conveyed human emotions and aspirations, and she assumed suffering and the future.
The German military officer said to Spearman: Thank God, not me, he wants us to survive that is what we must believe.
Yes, to live, a life must live!
However, a question lingers in my heart for a long time. When the Jewish people wantonly trample on the land of Palestine and use high-end weapons to shoot unarmed Palestine refugees, I feel a deep pain!
Why our human history will always be a history of cannibalism and self-destruction?
Mao Zedong said: Power comes from the barrel of a gun... Looking at history, which power is not built on the bones of civilians? !
They died for us, who are we living for? !
When we shed all the clothes, when we shed all the social roles, we are only vertebrates in God's eyes... But
biologists tell us: vertebrates are inherently aggressive...
this is the destiny of our genes and blood , The Son of Man was cursed by God.
A prophecy:
One day when mankind disappears, the sun will still rise in the east.

[Note 1] German philosopher Adorno (TW Adorno) was the first to mention "After Auschwitz" as a philosophical topic Coming out, is also one of the most profound philosophers in this kind of misery reflection.
[Note 2] The beginning of "G minor Ballad" is a slow introduction, playing a solemn tune with both hands. This is the opening remark of the storyteller. It introduces us into a tragic and epic atmosphere. The first theme is a typical narrative theme. At the beginning, I heard a lingering tone, as if the old rap artist Harban was plucking his ukulele. The calm and melancholic melody, with the sound of sighs from time to time, seems to be telling the suffering history of an enslaved nation, nurturing Woert who grew up in the enemy's camp with patriotism. The link below is the bridge between the first and second themes. The connection is constantly developing a short tone. The convulsive rhythm of this tone shows anxious and restless emotions, and the enthusiasm gradually rises and becomes surging. Zhuanghuai fierce. The second theme expresses another realm: gentle, clear, full of lyrical atmosphere, like a beautiful song. It seems to be a portrayal of the innocent and pure heart of the Lithuanian teenager Wolt. The ending part is a supplement to the second theme. It further expresses the tender, cordial and poetic tenderness. The structure of this ballad is a sonata. The above four paragraphs, namely the first theme-the connecting part-the second theme-the ending part, constitute the first part of the sonata style, the presentation part, which is like the first act in a drama, revealing the image of the main character . The second part of the sonata style is the unfolding part, which is like the second act of a play, which is the active part of the dramatic plot. Here, the first theme becomes very tense and unstable. It is no longer a peaceful and serene talk, but a passionate, generous and tragic song. Under the influence of the first theme, the second theme has also become resolute and mighty, showing a heroic spirit. The plump sound and dense harmony make this theme from its original gentle and gentle character to a heroic image of the most powerful. The last paragraph of the unfolding section is a generally unstoppable sound flow. Shows a vigorous and vigorous momentum. The following is the third part of the sonata style, the reappearance part, which is equivalent to the last act of the play, showing a tragic ending. The two themes of the reappearance department are inverted, and the second theme comes out first, which is still heroic and majestic. It wasn't until the end that the excitement gradually calmed down. But this is the calm before the storm. The first theme that followed was as nervous as in the development department, and directly led to a stormy ending. In the last paragraph of the epilogue, there appeared a tragic recitation tune and a chromatic descending like "black clouds overwhelming the city", which seemed to be a ruthless judgment on a tragic fate.
