"Son of Sol" is the first film I've seen that presents the dark and realistic film of "World War II Concentration Camp" from the protagonist's first perspective. The director deliberately showed the gas chambers, crematoriums, and mass graves in front of the audience step by step, and the protagonist's first point of view undoubtedly puts the audience in it. The film constantly emphasizes that the protagonist just wants the dead "son" to have a ritual funeral. , but it reflects this point of view like a little bit of water, and I can't fully believe it.
Personally, I think the director's intention is to describe the cruelty of the "concentration camp", and the first perspective fully proves this point of view. For people living in the concentration camps of World War II, it already means death. "Life" is just a good belief in life. The film starts with the burial as the narrative, but in fact, the burial is used as the thread to make the prisoners detained in the concentration camps a logical face. Coming to death.
