No matter how good the law is, it must be implemented by good governance

It's uncomfortable to watch, especially thinking about the brutality. The film is black and white, which feels heavier.

The film tells the story of Xiaobing pretending to be a captain and getting through all the way, from having nothing to doing whatever he wants, from panic all day long to extreme expansion of his heart, from being chased to wanton killing.

This is a true story, isn't it a miniature version of the abnormal growth of the Nazi Empire! ! ! Under the guise of justice, they shouted for the country and the people, usurped power, lost their humanity, and harmed the people.

A heaven, a hell. In the film, the two actors, as well as the veteran who drove the captain's car, faced the choice between good and evil, some were instigated to become villains, and some were forced to choose suicide for the sake of justice. It's embarrassing.

At the end of the film, this kind of evil still exists in modern society. How to avoid it? I think it depends on good law and good governance.

1. Restricted from the system. Power cannot be unchecked, laws and regulations must be standardized and perfected, and power must be locked in the "cage" of the system.

2. Consciously limited. Popularize the law among the whole people, raise the awareness of the law and human rights protection, and strive to make everyone shout for illegal acts, instead of "doing nothing and hanging up." The Germans made this film, which is the meaning of alertness, never forgetting past events, and being a teacher of future events.

    The prototype of the event is indeed shocking, the script has not been improved, the performance of the collapse of the national system is relatively limited, the group portraits are not rich enough and three-dimensional, the photography pays more attention to the composition, and some shots are deliberately overdone.

    The protagonist only needs to change his mind from the victim to the perpetrator. From an individual point of view, it is caused by human nature's pursuit of advantages and avoidance of disadvantages, but from the perspective of the Nazis, it is a kind of sympathetic evil, a kind of insensitive obedience, Just as Hannah Arendt put forward the banal evil, maybe the executioner who committed the evil is just an ordinary private soldier. From the end, his clean-up operation is seen as a disguised allegiance, which is also worth thinking about in World War II. place.
