the only regret

As a film that wants to have both cultural ideological depth and humanistic care, and a beautiful actor, the flaw of this film lies in the description of the education of the Nazi elite.
So many people are fighting for a common ideal, not the instructor who yelled in the teaching field and ran away when he met a grenade. For example, the spiritual growth process of many fighters is widely circulated: "Treat the enemy as cruel and ruthless as the harsh winter."
After the war is doomed, students still go to the school to die on the battlefield. There must be a lot of praise and agreement from the bottom of the heart.
This is more smoothly expressed in The Wave.
When this happened, the little Zhengtai who dared to stand up and say: "You shouldn't kill prisoners of war and minors", the strength and brilliance of her heart were fixed only in fictional stories.
So he has to die. This point, the other little Zhengtai also understands, so he can only leave in addition to venting with an ice axe and crying bitterly.

    Actually, I’m a little bit afraid of this-not cruelty or something-but the type of beautiful boyfriend

    I don’t know why this movie without the “same-sex” label was classified into this category, but the role setting is biased towards the cliché "reckless kid from the poor + the weak scholar from the rich". But the actual content of the film shows the pure friendship of mutual sympathy and the aura of humanity that is implied. I don't know how many people will be misled by this label to miss such a good movie with such a strong humanistic core.

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!
