Son of Thor - The Last Consolation of a Desperate Prisoner

At first glance, the film Son of Thor has no sympathy for the protagonist, and even hates him. He only wants to hold a Jewish funeral for his dead son, and completely forget about the commission of his compatriots. Later, he pushed his compatriots to the brink of death many times, and even directly led to the death of two or three rabbis. Thor, as a Jew, was not directly executed at that time. He was lucky. His daily job was to drive his compatriots into the gas chamber one by one and then drag the corpses into the crematorium, repeating this series of actions like walking dead. At that time He has no fear and no guilt, and numbness is the only characteristic. This has quietly changed since he saw the doctor kill the teenager who was not poisoned to death. We don't know the true identity of this young man who he keeps insisting that he is his son. Sol also seems to be self-authenticated by looking for clues in the discarded clothes. Of course, he can't find evidence, but he self-hypnotizes. That is his son. He woke up from numbness and felt that he should give his son a dignified funeral. During this process, he suddenly became enthusiastic, took the initiative to undertake the task, secretly hid his son's body, and boldly rescued a self-proclaimed rabbi from the execution crowd. The people... Every action is at the risk of being shot down. At the end of the film, the teenager finds the hut they were hiding in. Sol watched the only time that a smile appeared on the teenager's face, and then The army arrived, and the boy's figure ran into the depths of the forest with the sound of gunfire. This escaped ending is actually easy to see that the teenager represents hope, and this is what Sol has been looking for and longing for. At this time, I suddenly remembered the clothes that Sol was wearing with a red cross on the back, which was intentionally made to the audience's attention at the beginning of the movie. This fits the description that he will be executed sooner or later. He had already watched too much in the concentration camp. Many compatriots have died, and he no longer has the confidence to survive. Giving his son a dignified funeral is his only wish before his death. Compared with the resistance uprisings of other compatriots, he seems to have seen through that this is impossible to succeed. He complained to Ella that maybe Ella helped him find a dispatch team to avoid immediate execution, but he didn't appreciate this kindness at all. From the very beginning, he was in a state of despair, and this mentality shrouded him from the beginning to the end. Facing death every day would hit him harder than dying directly. Death was relief for him. Children have always been a symbol of hope in the movie, and the future was finally seen by Thor before he died.
