If it is said that life and the right to life are the fundamental and legitimate foundation of human beings, there is nothing more extreme and even distorting "power" than trampling on the life and right to life of others. There are many functions of power, but its deepest core is "self-protection", even if it is "the head of state himself". When power reaches the extreme, trampling will reach the extreme, or it is the extreme of trampling that leads to the extreme of power - "totalitarian". Germany is a totalitarian country in World War II, it has an absolute authority - the Führer, this is the most important factor in the environment in which the 19-year-old Herold grew up, and this factor became at the juncture of his life. His straw - a huge "beam".
"On the direct order of the head of state" seems to be an excuse for Herold's witty and nonsense, but if you pay attention to the effectiveness of this excuse, especially when you realize that this excuse actually reflects Herold's innermost feelings. Personality template, then we should not focus our analysis on the "uniform", which is far from being so capable, and by no means necessarily causes all this (even the uniform of an SS officer). In fact, I thought it was a comedy movie at first, because play - "acting", has both the meaning of acting and the meaning of playing.
The real divide still lies with whoever picked up the uniform.
As the so-called "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked", this metaphor is actually more appropriate in a country than in a family. The upper beam in the family is often out of shape in the lower beam, or even the opposite reference (this of course shows the power of the "motif"), why? Because family members are close to each other and look at each other carefully, deconstruction and irony always have room for it to happen, but the top beam created by a country through propaganda machines, through slogans, through repeated brainwashing, and through standard image building lacks real details. Shaping - Hitler is probably not the standard appearance of "Hitlerists", so he often learns everything unconsciously and without any effort to fight back at the "under the beam", and it is often even more complicated than the upper beam - in a lower sense. The "hook-stealers" bred by the "state-stealer princes" are more despicable and cruel in specific behavior, and the little villains with the heart of stealing the country are the main reasons why good people die violently at the hands of others.
Going back to the movie, we can see that in the face of such despicable madness, it is neither a colleague who is suspicious of the same pervert, nor the so-called legal system, nor those who "see through but not speak out". ”, but it is said to belong to the German language—that is, to a certain “stereotype” in the German soul. This stereotype is related to the legal system, but at that time, the theory of the rule of law with “the relationship between the enemy and the enemy” as the core judgment was understood. , this stereotype also fails.
After the entire World War II, the theme of German reflection was: why did all countermeasures lose their strength in the face of such a catastrophe? To that, the film has one of the heaviest answers I've ever seen: Because if people become silent, then silence is better than words.
From two aspects, the rationality and stereotyped truth, goodness and beauty with "German characteristics" in German and German minds have been silent - the captain "smartly" used silence to avoid its severe test, while others used more profound and complex Silence agreed with its diametrically opposite. At this time, the uniform of silence symbolizes the essence of totalitarianism - prohibiting your nonsense.
Nonsense?
We already know that reality is magical when a cannonball without eyes that rips the entire camp to shreds can't kill a fake captain.
