This is an absolutely underestimated film. The scenes in black and white throughout the film give people a feeling of breathless depression from beginning to end, especially the soundtrack in the middle, which is like a death knell, a strange atmosphere, if It is said that Herold, an exempt soldier, has become a demon who lost himself in power and desire with the help of a lieutenant's uniform, then the first old deserter around him to be brought under his command is an invisible pusher. He looks like us ordinary people. He may have been suspicious of the fake captain at the beginning, but in order to maintain his position as a captain's subordinate and his deserter identity not to be exposed, he acquiesced to all of this and even became the captain's faithful servant, even after several massacres of veterans When his conscience was condemned, he even hoped that the captain would let them go, but the captain said that they were all dead. When faced with the captain's order to go down to the pit to kill the deserters, he could do nothing. He didn't have the courage to commit suicide. To be able to completely become an accomplice in the gradual numbness, maybe this is the true portrayal of us ordinary people. In the face of totalitarianism and evil, we choose silence, acquiescence, and surrender for our own survival and for our own interests. , isn't it true hundreds of years ago or even now, that kind of deep evil, only in the face of war, in the face of white terror, we will trigger the primitive evil of animals, our mediocre evil, we only need a "captain" to come To drive, only need a network of power system to control, there is no doubt that this kind of film is successful, its photography, his torture of human nature, in the face of power, women are as docile as kittens, how real, and the tidbits at the end Even more terrifying, this may be a horror film in which Germans reflect on war and human nature.
