The "Black Book" I went to the cinema to watch last night is worth recommending, but don't watch it at the cinema, because there are too many cuts, not only the sex scenes, but also many plots related to clues have been cut, and I am at a loss. However, I have been loving watching this kind of film recently. Because I cannot participate in history, I am eager to interpret the past from the perspective of different people.

Although it is advertised as the European version of Lust and Caution, I personally think that Lust and Caution is slightly inferior to the Black Book. Because Lust and Caution only make people see the human nature in front of temptation, and the black book will make people reflect on the torment of war on human nature, and make you think about what is brave, what is kindness, what is justice, and what is strength. I am reminded of Su Shi's "Louhou Lun", "In ancient times, the so-called heroic people must have their own way, and those who cannot bear human feelings, stand up with their swords and stand up to fight when they see humiliation. There are great brave people who suddenly come upon them without being alarmed, and who do not get angry when they are added for no reason. Those who are held hostage are very big, and their ambitions are very high.”

In addition, "Black Book" is from Paul Verhoeven. His "Instinct" received mixed reviews. Later, he won eight Raspberry Awards for "Showgirls", and he actually appeared to present the awards. The ceremony really makes people admire his courage to laugh at himself.

    [Screening at the China Film Archive] I was completely shocked when I watched it for the first time on a small MP4 five years ago. The big screen revisiting is still too tense to breathe. Bold erotic scenes and repeated plot twists are undoubtedly the bright spots. But the most shocking thing is the crazy atmosphere of the post-war Netherlands, which is no worse than the Nazis. The heroine's acting is great. Seeing Familiar Faces: Kristen Burke, a German professional, and the second male lead in "The Wiretap". Four and a half stars

    Lust and Caution count as a P...//The Black Book is a story about Jews during World War II, which brought me far deeper thinking than Schindler's list. Its views on war are a bit similar to the arrival of the devils. What did the war bring to the people? Is victory really worth celebrating? How to make the people live a better life after the war, instead of the country advancing and the people retreating, is actually far more important than the war itself. The concept of victory and defeat is narrow, and it is even more ridiculous to define a group with a certain concept. I saw someone on the Internet that day jokingly said: Japan has become a country dedicated to patriotism in our country. Coupled with the two popular articles "How Many People Died in the Nanjing Massacre" and "The Story of the Qing Dynasty" that have been circulating on the Internet recently, I used to think that it didn't matter whether I loved a party or not, the country still needs to love, but now I even Doubt about this.

Black Book quotes

  • 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.
