A war that cannot be escaped

When I saw the first half of the episode, I thought of Lust and Caution. Of course, considering the year, it should be said that Lust and Caution borrowed a bit from this movie. The historical backgrounds of the two films are similar, and both focus on depicting human nature. However, compared with Lust and Caution, which focuses on the heroine Wang Jiazhi's feelings for Mr. Yi, the Black Book depicts the characters of various characters in the war more. Some people have no hesitation, some people believe in money, some people believe in common people, and some people believe in God. After losing her family, losing her lover and losing her dignity, as a Jewish heroine, she returned to Israel, which she thought was her homeland, but at the end of the film, the Israeli-Palestinian war was depicted. Now that she has two children at home, she seems to have accepted all this calmly, no longer leaving or fleeing. I even thought of fatalism, and sometimes I can only calmly accept the arrangement of fate.

The portrayal of all beings after the liberation of the Netherlands gave the film a great bonus.

The Chinese people's view of justice is to have the spirit of enduring hardship and sacrifice. Even if the hero hides his identity in the feasting, he must be full of contempt for pleasure in his heart. After victory, he will return to the simple heroic life. This is not the case in the West. Their good and bad people like to have fun, they are also confused by their personal emotions, and they often make mistakes in their words and deeds. In such a team, there are people who are doing righteous things but are not fundamentally pursuing justice. Some of them became traitors, spies and were judged because of this, while others survived until justice triumphed and turned into perpetrators.

Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: [SPOILER]
[Hans Akkermans is locked in the coffin, as a punishment for his murderous treason, struggling to get out by kicking and screaming]
Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: We should actually get up and open the coffin.
Gerben Kuipers: Yeah. We should...
[both Rachel and Gerben remain seated, gazing at the river]
Gerben Kuipers: What should we do with all the money?
Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: It doesn't belong to us.
Gerben Kuipers: It doesn't belong to anybody.
Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: To the dead...
[the sound of Hans Akkermans's screams stops, meaning he is now dead. Gerben raises his finger]
Gerben Kuipers: He's quiet. Finally.
Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: It seemed forever.

General Käutner: Obersturmführer, open your safe.
Günther Franken: Of course. Which files would you like to see?
General Käutner: None. You're suspected of killing rich Jews. There's nothing wrong with that. But you've been looting the bodies and keeping the valuables for yourself. Failure to turn Jewish property over to the Reich is punishable by death. Open the safe.
Günther Franken: As you wish, Obergruppenführer.
