dictatorial mirror

The German origin of this film adds a touch of calm to the suspense and thriller in the film. There are not many dialogues between the characters, but more quiet observations. The camera drives the mind to narrate the story.
The real history behind the story told in Dignity Colony is more terrifying than the film. What is dictatorship and what is freedom, the thinking brought by "Dignity Colony" can be superficial or deep. Just like the jungle outside the independent kingdom, the vast wilderness outside the jungle, but different freedom, different troubles. Whether there is a right to choose or not to choose, just like the sunshine attracts the soul that yearns for freedom.
Colony of Dignity is a mirror, standing in a far corner of South American history, reflecting the dictatorship history, the present, and the so-called democracy and freedom. Those who hold the power overturn the clouds and overturn the fate of all beings in the world.
Just like the heroine Lena played by Emma, ​​she is in a colony of dignity and is not moved by bewitchment. As a small citizen of Caojie, all I can do is to use knowledge and other people's experience to jump out of my own world, see my surroundings clearly, and not be controlled.
Freedom has always been a luxury in the world. Life will continue...
As Romain Rolland said: "There is only one true heroism in the world, that is, after recognizing the truth of life, still loving life."
