All along, everyone said that Hitler was an extreme racist and anti-Semitic. He regarded the Jews as the enemy of the world, the root of all evil, the root of all disasters, and the destroyer of the order of human life. In fact, the world has a long history of hatred of Jews. Look at Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice", the greedy and cunning moneylender Sherlock is a Jew. According to Christian teachings, Christians cannot lend money. When there is an urgent need for capital turnover, businessmen borrow money from shrewd Jews. Middle Sherlock borrowed 3,000 gold coins, and did not charge high interest, but made a contract: if the loan was not due, he would cut off a pound of flesh from the borrower's chest. Later, when it was due to breach the contract, the Jewish Sherlock had to fulfill the contract and cut a pound of flesh. The dispute was brought to court. After repeated battles between justice and evil, humanity and anti-humanity, the lawyer proposed that "no drop of blood is allowed in cutting flesh". Wisely pleaded, Sherlock lost the case in the end.
There must be something "hateful" about poor people, Jews are ostracized by the whole world, precisely because they control the economic lifeline of the country. In World War II, it was not only the German Nazis who massacred Jews. At that time, all European countries were actually accomplices. Take Lithuania as an example. Before the war, there were about 170,000 Jews. After the war, there were less than 20,000 Jews. They were all killed by local Nazis in Lithuania. In Latvia, there were only 170 Germans at that time, and most of the arrest, escort, imprisonment and massacre of Jews and Gypsies were done by security teams composed of Latvians.
Boldly guess, the astute statesman Hitler has unparalleled incitement and outstanding foresight, the reason why he "successfully" built the Nazi organization and made himself a god among humans, except that he once solved the unemployment problem in Germany and saved it. Is it because he took advantage of the hatred of the Europeans against the Jews, and used this common hatred to unite the Germans and other European nations.
I have seen two movies that rescued the Jews during World War II, whether it was the idealistic Schindler or Chimu Sugihara who issued 6,000 Japanese visas to the Jews after betting on his political career all his life, both for the purity they maintained in the brutal war. moved by the humanitarian spirit. This "Bernard Action" is a story about Jews who are good at painting and making counterfeit banknotes in a Nazi prison and participating in Germany's production of counterfeit banknotes to destroy the Allied economy. The protagonist of the story is a member of the general public, a morally even A fallen criminal, he is good at painting, but he is not doing his job properly. He uses his skills to make fake passports and counterfeit money, and he is involved in the feasting and feasting. When such a speculator was caught, he was originally a person without principles. He knew the survival of the fittest very well. He took advantage of the opportunity in prison to give full play to his strengths and painted Nazi portraits in exchange for a chance to survive.
After Sally was imprisoned, he was bullied by other prisoners. In fact, his dignity was long gone, and Sally knew that, but he couldn't bear to face it. Knowing that the Nazi officer urinated on his head, he was out of anger and was "coerced" to face the fact that he lost his dignity. If there really is dignity, Dignity is in Sally's heart, and he has been trying his best to maintain his self-esteem. He was struggling on the line of survival, avoiding danger as a tortoise, ignoring the questions of the communist Borg's morality and beliefs, but he did not abandon the bottom line of his conscience at critical moments. He will never betray his friend Borg. When the Nazis asked (deathly) blame for the slow progress of US dollar bill production, when the inmates wanted to confess the fact that Borg made troubles, he used his ingenuity to drive out the US dollar bills. Saved the inmates; in order to save the tuberculosis Corga, he could risk trading with Herzo in exchange for the medicine for tuberculosis. It is not difficult for him to make a fake passport, and it is not technically difficult. He also There is no "noble morality" that can cause spiritual struggles. What is rare is that at the moment of the officer-prisoner's joint party, he pulled away the coughing Korgar, pierced his fingers and added blood to his face... ...The director caught such details and perfectly presented Sally, a smart man who knows how to survive and who cares carefully about his companions all the time. Ugly-looking, with small eyes, strong shoulders, and a big Jewish nose, Sally is a shameless opportunistic criminal in daily life, and in the environment of Nazi prisons with existential crisis every second, he is a The saviour of opportunism. At all times he balances the speculative laws of existence with the good of humanism.
The film also explained the material life of the prison with restraint and restraint in some details. Sa used the wisdom of his own little people to steal food. In just a few shots, he shot the food back and forth two or three times, and shot Sally's face from top to bottom, half of his eyes. , the slightly twisted mouth, the tension is very strong.
Finally, let's talk about the "enlightened" German Nazi officer "Herzo". With a "soft" policy, he used Sully and his partners to create a lot of pounds and dollars, paving a road for himself to be promoted. Germany, on the verge of defeat, invited Sally to his home to make a fake passport for himself. He even talked to Sally about education "raising children, cultivating their sense of responsibility and attitude towards life". Is it ironic? Is it very black? Nazis, criminals, they also have creeds in their hearts, and they also believe that their beliefs are noble.
After World War II, Germany was respected all the time because of the collective reflection of the nation. For people like Sally who survived the war prison, the world has collapsed. I believe that he faces the sea, dances with graceful women, and can't get rid of the stagnant water in his heart at all times. He is alive and is a ghost.
Germany is a nation that dares to face up to its ugly history. Compared with their filming of "Operation Bernard", I don't know what Zhang Yimou's "alive" is.
