A Vile Runaway's "Hitler Journey"

The more absurd the more real. If you hadn't checked the information and knew that the movie was based on the "Eamesland Executioner" incident, it would be hard to imagine that this is a farce in which the perpetrator and the victim cooperated so seamlessly. But considering that this real incident happened two weeks before the end of the war, when the specter of Nazism did not disappear, and the legal system built on Nazism had collapsed, it is not difficult to explain this absurd farce. There will be such a good endorsement.

While watching the movie, I kept thinking, now that Herold has successfully deceived, isn't it fun to eat and drink all the way? Why bother to make such a big noise? What does power mean to a person?

Until the end of the film, this question seems to remain unsolved. But in Herold, what I see is Hitler's projection, but his life is more filthy than Hitler's. Exemption was Herold's true rank, and Hitler's rank during World War I. Herold's ability to do whatever he wants with a captain's uniform is the result of the rampant Nazism and liberal retreat and the collapse of the liberal legal and moral system. Hitler and his Nazism could legitimately ascend to power in Germany. Behind the votes of the Germans was the distortion of nationalist ideas caused by the victorious imperialist countries' repression of Germany after World War I. Nazism came into the house in the guise of nationalism, just as the captain's uniform did to Herold. Herold took his battle team along the way, and those who questioned were eliminated by those in higher power, including someone who defended him at the final trial. I believe that no one doubts him, but the fear of power is just a symptom, the desire for power and the expectation of clinging to power in the heart and the willingness to create a corresponding order for this unchecked power. The name of the vote is the maliciousness invisible to human beings. The same is that Hitler's rise to power would not be possible without the support of capital only by ideological indoctrination, so Nazism and bloodthirsty capital reached a peace - bringing cannons and butter to the German people - the Germans got cannons , what capital enjoys is butter. Herold himself was a deserter, but he realized his desire for power by massacring deserters. Hitler himself was suspected of being a Jew, but he sent millions of Jews into the gas chamber. Bloodline itself does not matter, political tradition determines a person's political behavior.

He listed some of the shadows of Hitler that he saw from Herold, and also wanted to say that Herold was just a despicable, cowardly, cruel, cunning political speculator, and a runaway from beginning to end. This kind of speculator has no faith, which means that he has no moral bottom line and awe. He didn't even have Hitler's steadfastness to Nazism and the courage to die. He started a filthy life and quickly ended the filthy journey. He is indeed worthless in history, but he is a living victim of power. I have always believed that no one can share power with power, and the ultimate winner of power is power itself. Anyone who pretends to be power and who tries to manipulate power and play power will surely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

    The ending is meaningful. Many people criticize the evil of human nature, but the evil of human nature is only inevitable in such an environment, you and I cannot escape. How many people can kill themselves with a gun? But how to reflect on and resist the evil of the system, and how to avoid the trend of totalitarianism that makes human nature fall into the quagmire step by step? Will history repeat itself? Will it be a few years later, many people will be as puzzled as they look back on the rise of the Nazis, confused and how people watched this huge country fall into the mud.

    A film full of evil, driven by the evil of dictatorship, the evil of inflammation, the evil of rabble, and the evil of mediocrity, the unintentional lies full of loopholes have evolved into a historical tragedy. The Wehrmacht, the SS, the Gestapo, the military police, the administration, and the judiciary all came on stage, and there were no dead eggs, let alone innocent people, and it was chilling. The so-called hero is nothing more than independent thinking, not subservient to authority and situation, not smeared, and not evading responsibility.
