The World War I film made in 2009, but the black-and-white pictures and character sets have the image quality of shooting in the 1950s and 1960s. Maybe the black-and-white texture can better reflect the core of the film, the indifference of the German nation, and the black and white in the film is non-criminal violence. depressed and calm
The film is very boring, and many people should not have the patience to watch it, but this type of film will be very exciting if you taste it carefully. The most impressive are the images of several fathers:
The first one, the doctor, the film begins with the doctor riding a horse, the horse tripped over a rope tied to a tree, and was hospitalized after the fall. He seemed to be the victim, but he was actually the most disgusting and hated character. He committed adultery with the midwife. Starting to molest his daughter, abandoning the midwife, and resisting through the midwife's mouth is the most accurate criticism of him. When she needs her, she takes care of his family's life and when he abandons her, he exhausts his insults. A little bit of moral humanity can be said. After the midwife's mentally handicapped son was abused, he shouted after hearing his voice. It can be guessed that it has something to do with him. His humanity is rotten to the naked eye.
The second is the pastor. The image of the pastor can best represent the absolute authority of the father, with a decent appearance and strict control over the child. The pure white ribbon, the repressed growth environment in exchange for the distorted personality, the criminal violence in the film, through the speculation of the teachers from the first perspective, all point to the children, beating the baron's son, setting fire, nailing cross birds, and abusing mentally handicapped children. And he vaguely understands the child's problems, chooses to hide it, and even threatens the teacher after being held accountable by the teacher. There are many fathers like this, and he will never find problems from himself. It is a tragedy for a family.
The third one, the baron, is like a landlord. He is usually busy with his business. Most of the villages work for him, so he may not have time to take care of his wife and children. After his son Gigi was beaten, his wife took the children to live at his uncle's house for a period of time. Uncle's banker, who manages money, gets along well with her. The banker likes children and makes Gigi happy again. The wife is loyal to the baron and chooses to go back. The harsh growing environment and the baron's arrogant orders made her confess the reason for her cheating and leaving, but the baron only believed that the reason was that his wife had sex with an adulterer, which represented a person in the family who could not communicate with each other, and was destined to have different thoughts. superior
Fourth, the farmer, the death of his wife, the angry son blames the baron, but the farmer chooses to be silent and forbear, because the pressure of survival is more important than the pursuit of facts, poverty is no right to speak and choose, and the image of an honest father cannot be protected. The helplessness of the family, and finally the impulse of the son, destroyed the source of survival of the family, and also went to suicide.
At the end of the film, all the crimes in this village are left unresolved, but they explain that the First World War broke out after the outbreak. Children who grew up in such an environment, according to their age, the World War II that broke out after the age of 30 or 40, the hatred of the Jewish nation seems to be premature. doomed
