I want to write a short review that exceeds the word count

For a long time, my attitude towards war-themed movies and even history is that I don’t know and don’t want to understand, but this movie is a style that I respect very much in terms of form and content, so I took the risk and watched it.

The director is a perfect shadow focus. All the cruelty has blurred out a naked, bloody, fuzzy corpse. Can't bear to look directly at it? But he is right there! Pushing death fiercely to the audience, breathless, smooth, long shots, a lot of ots shots, taking the audience to appreciate the real hell from every detail and corner, except for the fouced Thor, there is always a dense crowd of people standing between life and death, killing or killing. slain crowd

The story is about Thor desperately trying to find a rabbi to bury his son. Yes, there are always things in the world or in human civilization that are more important than life and death. That's belief. I'm not religious, but I'm not an atheist. The priest you bought with your life is a fake, and your heart is still shaking. What is human nature? Is it the Nazi officer who tricked the Jews into the gas chamber? Are you worried about how to burn people faster than boiler workers? Prisoner detachments who fought hard for a living to join the guerrillas? Or the last child who ran into the depths of the forest and disappeared?

Everyone in this terrifying concentration camp is nothing but divided into living and dead, but those numb living people!

Thousands of movies make people feel emotional and thoughtful, but war is always the heaviest one
