Continue to fill the hole with Oscar and talk about "Cold War" today.
Poland is a country with almost nothing impressive. I don’t really remember any scientists and writers (Madame Curie?) in Poland. I just remember that it was the first country to be captured by Nazi Germany in World War II. It is notorious The Auschwitz concentration camp was built in Poland. After World War II, Poland belonged to the Soviet Union and was the bridgehead of the Cold War. Done.
Looking at the poster, I thought I would see a movie like "Black Book", but it turned out to be a love movie.
The background is Poland in the 1950s, and the Cold War had just begun.
Not to mention the storyline, it is not a cruel story as imagined. The film's portrayal of the Cold War is very sideways and obscure.
Although I have my doubts about the hero and heroine in the film running on both sides of the Iron Curtain, their living conditions are more believable. In fact, their love has ended since the first time the heroine broke the appointment, and everything that happens next is a tragedy.
The two thought the West was paradise, and what would happen when they arrived in Paris. The male lead did it. He lived like a petty bourgeoisie, while the female lead's incompatibility with life in Paris stemmed from her life on the other side of the Iron Curtain. impact on her. That kind of propaganda in the ideological field, day and night, will slowly change a person from the subconscious.
I remember at the beginning of the film, the performance of the song and dance troupe was recognized by the superiors. When their superiors asked them to sing songs about the leader Stalin, everyone felt rejected. However, as time goes by, the female protagonist's expression becomes more and more natural when she sings, and she becomes more and more devoted. Moreover, this has won her a high social status in the country. At this time, for her, the freedom of the West is not so attractive.
Therefore, when the male protagonist betrayed the motherland, the love between the two is destined to be a tragedy.
The Cold War isn't just between two camps, it's tearing apart the people in it. The integrity of the individual does not exist in the context of the Cold War. Individuality, freedom, dignity, love, you always have to give up one or two things in order to survive well. Human beings are too good at destroying themselves. They have just survived the disaster of World War II, and they have hurriedly engaged in political confrontation. People have devoted all their enthusiasm to exclude dissidents for each nihilistic political term, or even a few words of a leader. This is the last time a human being can convict someone by thinking alone, but it won't be the last.
The film ends in tragedy, and the hero and heroine realize that their love has nowhere to be placed, and that there is no place in the world where they can love each other like two "people". And as an audience, I feel that the director is making a big fuss. In those days, talking about love was a luxury, let alone uncompromising love. Then I realized that my well-informed mentality is not something to be proud of.
