After reading so many movie reviews, they all say that it is human nature for the protagonist to become a demon, but I was thinking, if he does not become a demon or a substitute for the head of state, then as a deserter pretending to be an officer, what is waiting for him?
Then I came to the horrific conclusion that the only way he wanted to survive was to be a demon.
He first chose to cover up a deserter, not only because the deserter could help him drive, but the deserter had a gun on his body. If he exposed the deserter, he would most likely be killed by the deserter. People would take risks in order to survive, especially deserters.
In order not to starve to death, he cheated food, and killed the first time in order to deal with the angry peasants.
Did he let Brother Jieao join him in order to have more helpers? Brother Jieao saw that he was a fake officer. As long as he accused Brother Jieao, Brother Jieao would immediately kill him with his three good brothers.
Why do I say that Brother Jieao sees that he is a fake captain, and this is not my speculation? Because when Brother Jieao pulled him a car on the road, he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to kill him. If it was the real captain, how dare Brother Jieao dare? Brother Jieao just thinks that his fake captain has played a bit too much.
Fortunately, Captain Fatty arrived in time to catch the deserter, otherwise Brother Jieao might have killed him, and he would continue to oppress the peasants in his clothes and his brothers.
He told the fat captain who stopped him on the road that the Führer would ask him to rectify the deserters and report the heroic performance of the fat captain, but the fat captain still did not believe him and wanted to see his documents, so he asked to exchange the documents with the fat captain so that he could remember the fat The captain's name told the Fuhrer who influenced him to complete the mission, and the fat captain no longer doubted him. Do not believe a person does not need a price, but doubt a person needs a price. From this, we can see that a person at the level of a captain will not believe him before seeing the documents. What he needs to do is to give the other party a reason not to doubt.
When he came to Captain Fatty's camp, he saw the captain who had been chasing him before. This was the closest he had come to being exposed. The captain who was chasing him said something very mysterious. I will remember you. I will never forget it. Did he mean it literally? Obviously not, what he meant was: "Piggy, I want to see what tricks you can play." The protagonist heard what he said, he had to stand on the same front as the captain, so that the captain would not expose him, he succeeded . Before the captain who was chasing him left, he asked the captain if he still remembered him, and the captain said he didn't. If the captain who was chasing him didn't know that he was impersonating, would he hesitate to think about when this confidant met? He insisted that he had forgotten. Because this fake can be used for one's own use.
Therefore, the only way the protagonist can survive is to be useful. As long as he leaves the camp of the captain who is chasing him, what awaits him is to be exposed or die. And what is the camp of the captain who is chasing him? Immediately punish deserters. Okay, the protagonist is going to the desertion camp to be tortured.
The only time he murdered before was because of helplessness. He may have killed people on the battlefield, but that was when I didn't kill people, and people killed me. When he saw the pitiful deserters, he knew that they were just like him, and some were even nobler than him, and he couldn't do it. How could this be a captain? How could a captain not hate deserters to the point of wanting to put them to death? Brother Jieao saw his weakness, helped him to cross the sea, and killed a deserter.
Until then, everyone was sure that this must be a captain, not that the captain can't hate deserters so much. Especially the second fat captain, who claimed to be his liaison officer, felt like he had met a confidant. It should be noted that the title of this liaison officer is really interesting. On the surface, the liaison officer is helping the protagonist to convey instructions, but in fact he is giving his own orders through the protagonist's mouth. The most perfect puppet is one that doesn't need to be manipulated. As soon as you turn your head, he knows what you are going to do. The protagonist is such a puppet, and this is the hand-picked by the head of state!
Next, Fat Captain No. 2 seemed to be helping Zhou to help the protagonist slaughter deserters, but in fact he used the name of the head of state to do what he wanted to do but was afraid to do. Could he doubt the protagonist? Possibly! As long as the protagonist is no longer the tyrannical iron-blooded butcher captain, he can immediately overthrow the protagonist, because apart from him, there are only a few fake soldiers in the entire camp who really deserted to support the protagonist. And what is a deserter? It is a person who regards life as more important than honor and dignity. The funny thing is, you and I who watch this film may be like this, and it is easier for us to empathize with those who are unwilling to be cannon fodder in a losing battle.
The protagonist bombarded deserters, which was a surprise for the second fat captain. Captain Fatty was overjoyed, as if Boya met Ziqi, but he didn't know that this Ziqi's qin was actually playing a recording, and Ziqi chose fake playing just to attract Boya's backer. And the lives of those deserters were not for his enjoyment, but for the name he gave to the second fat captain. During the bombardment, there was a scene where the protagonist was shouting, but in fact that was his inner voice. This was the time when his humanity struggled the most. He was not a butcher, but if he wanted to survive and cater to the second fat captain, he had to become a butcher. .
That banquet was even worse. Two hilarious actors desperately trying to make those present laugh just to survive. The protagonist saw himself in them, and he actually lived to this day by making those who doubted him happy in his heart.
He asked the actor to sit down for a drink without expressing his attitude. Fat Captain No. 2 thought he was teasing a dying plaything, and the actor thought it was a chance to live. The protagonist told his truth, and the military uniform was picked up. Why did the second fat captain react for so long? Because he knew it was most likely true, but he would never let it be true. Why did he run to pull the frame at this time and didn't pull it just now? Because he was in a mess, just like the banquet.
He shouted for the hero to put an end to the chaos, the hero tied the four fugitives together and told them to run, he gave the comedians guns to shoot, which seemed to force the actors to do evil, but in fact save them. One actor understood and fired, and the other saw it even more clearly, knowing that after the gun was fired, what awaited him was an uninterrupted killing performance and the life of a butcher who died until he died, so he chose to commit suicide.
At this point, it is not difficult for us to see that the h contingent formed by the protagonist is actually a group of "best actors". He plays the captain, and others play a group of loyal soldiers who can't tell that he is a fake captain. He recruited trainees for the team and gave the comedian an exam—play a real butcher, the actor passes the test, and the mentor turns around.
The next day, the protagonist shortened his trouser legs for better camouflage. This was a fatal flaw. The first deserter who joined him saw it, and he didn't mind, because both of them knew the truth. So when the second fat captain looked for the protagonist, the soft deserter was determined not to let the second fat captain see the protagonist, and defended the protagonist from being exposed.
However, the protagonist went out of the barracks without wearing pants at this time to meet with the fat captain No. 2. Would the soldiers come out like this without paying attention to appearance? It doesn't matter, what matters is that he strongly supports the decision of the second fat captain.
And what was the decision of the second fat captain? The criminals in the camp were almost killed, and the fat captain No. 2 did not want the carnival to end there, and led his subordinates to arrest more people.
The protagonist and a rabble party at the camp, an orgy of a gang of actors who put their lives at stake, and the director paints their orgy to be more circus-like and hilarious.
In the end, the British plane blew up the camp and the second fat captain, and the only staff who supported the protagonist was gone.
what to do?
It doesn't matter, go to the surrendered city and shoot the mayor. The people immediately believed that this was Hitler's spokesman!
During the carnival in the city, the younger brothers embraced the beauty and showed their true colors, but the protagonist sat on the side and continued to perform the captain appointed by the head of state, because he was more careful than others, which is why he can live to this day.
It wasn't until Brother Jieao was driven out of his turbulent spring boudoir, when the protagonist entered the room, that for the first time the protagonist did evil not for his life, but out of desire. This is also because the protagonist felt that he was already safe.
Afterwards, the trial of Brother Jieao is also quite interesting. A group of people who committed the same crime as Brother Jieao sentenced Brother Jieao to death. Before the execution, they also stripped Brother Jieao of his outfit: Take off your costumes, you're done.
When the protagonist finally does evil for lust rather than survival, he is immediately brought to court-martial. And of the three people who tried him, two were on his side. This trial debate is worth remembering. The man who was going to hang him was because of his crime, he broke the law. And those who want to keep him are because he continues the will of the Führer. So does the law matter? Important, but nothing compared to the will of the head of state. As long as his actions represent the will of the top and safeguard the interests of the top, he can get away with impunity.
In the end, the protagonist stepped over a piece of white bones and walked towards the dark abyss. Did he become a demon because of his power? no. If he is a demon, then he will not go to the abyss, but a paradise that belongs to the devil. He wasn't a demon in the end, he just became a puppet of a demon just to survive.
