We are right, the times are wrong

The whole film is relatively gentle, although there are several reminiscent "horror" scenes, but none of them appear. As a female audience, I still like it very much.

Although it is relatively gentle, it can make people deeply feel the horror of war.

While watching the movie, it was the news that college student Li Wenxing was murdered by mistakenly entering the pyramid scheme for a job. So when I look at it, I really think,

Hitler is a huge MLM organization!

Brainwash you first, so that you lose your ability to judge, even if you lack the weapons, you are still immersed in the fantasy of "victory" and resist. (End of the film)

And the male lead and the second male are those who have not been brainwashed successfully. No matter what kind of interests, they will never be forgiven for harming the world.

World War II is in the past, in the future, or in life, will there still be people or organizations that want to "brainwash" people? What we can do is to maintain our kindness and bottom line at all times.

In addition, there is still a lot to think about, and here are the spoilers

The second male uses his own death to wake up the male lead

The bedwetting student, who was originally looked down upon by the coach, used his body to block the grenade and saved the lives of 20 classmates at a time of crisis. However, the usually majestic coach saw the grenade and his first reaction was to flee, ignoring the remaining students. Escape to the death...

The male protagonist and the second male peeked at a girl together, then hugged and cried behind each other.

The teacher who recommended the male protagonist to enter the school, I can't even distinguish him, he is very talented, and he is also a loyal soldier to Hitler. The way I feel about him is indescribable.

Before the Fall quotes

  • Christoph Schneider: Pull yourself together!

    Albrecht Stein: Pull myself together? Do you know what we just did? You shouldn't have shot! You shouldn't have shot!

    Tjaden: I didn't give the order. Your father said they had guns!

    Albrecht Stein: Why are you looking at me like that?

    Friedrich Weimer: I'm not looking at you.

    Albrecht Stein: I know what you're thinking. Don't look at me like that!

  • Albrecht Stein: [reading from his essay] "As childish as it sounds, the winter time and the sight of freshly fallen snow always fill us with inexplicable joy. Perhaps because as children, we associated it with Christmas. I always imagine myself the hero who killed dragons, rescued virgins, and freed the world from evil. As we went out yesterday to find the prisoners, I felt like that little boy who wanted to save the world."

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: But as we returned, I understood that I am part of the evil that I wanted to save us from.

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: Shooting prisoners is wrong. They were not armed, as Governor Stein told us, to incite us. We didn't shoot men, only children.

    Vogler: Out!
