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 most terrifying thing is not that the fake captain killed so many people, but that many people found out that he was a fake, but didn't puncture him, so it was not only him who killed him, but he was just a puppet in the hands of others.

    This director also filmed the "Divergent" series 2&3. It can be shown that the script is the core of a movie, followed by the director and performance. Seeing that the high-energy ending can be seamlessly connected with Er ist wieder da, I realized that the director was shooting the "front/positive" film for the ending. Power comes from obedience, and when it accumulates at the bottom, obedient people will easily obey, and the unscrupulous people will use it to abuse the obedience. Humanity's worship of power eventually leads to the inevitable failure of human beings to be mediocre and evil. Germany finally jumped out of the trap of the World War II film (with a long sigh), and at first glance it came to reflection (to say that there is an SS court to maintain "justice"/order in reflection, wouldn't it be whitewashed? So not Reflecting on World War II), in fact, I want to give all mankind a big mouth. This film makes me inexplicably think of the Horse of Turin, the oppressive precursors of the collapse of the building and the ensuing madness. Lau was so drunk on everything, Fehling was so fat that I almost didn't recognize it. English male actors have to pretend to be women, German male actors have to play Nazis - iron law
