Nazi Childhood Stories

Calm, neo-retro style, black and white, multiple static shots, it seems that only the teacher and the babysitter dance with a special rotating dynamic shot.

In a small village on the eve of the First World War, several unsolved murders, deliberate or accidental.
The environment is small, but the layout is not small. It is very concise and restrained, and it is constantly cut and left blank.
The sense of tension and oppression is hidden everywhere, a miniature exploration of the German social and psychological environment before the war. The children's performances are especially good.

It can be understood as "the origin of Nazi childhood psychology": the puritanical precepts of childhood collective training, the ignorant National Socialist hatred of wealth, and the anti-moral punishment for anti-morality. . .

    Haneke has always excavated the evil of human nature, but the film is so serious and dull that it is unimaginable, and it is not seen until the end. Watching this kind of film also sees a flower, either you really have a heart full of philosophy, or a heart full of beauty (fuck the Palme d’Or, balance and foster the humanity of a new generation of masters) Disaster and political correctness, who else?)

    For a long time, in the name of justice and purity, people are required to suppress certain things in human nature. Sooner or later, this energy will distort the soul inside and turn people into freaks, especially children. Leading a soul to truly become noble is by no means punishment, criticism, and indoctrination. It needs to grow up freely in a friendly and lively environment, and to comprehend it from being moved.
