love? But a sin.

I admire those who see love in it.
For me, this movie has nothing to do with love.
I only saw the wild and cold side of human nature.

The most shocking scene is that the woman danced topless for the Nazis in the concentration camp. She pleased the Nazis, so the Nazis gave her a gift, a box containing the heads of her relatives.

This entire episode is silent, the colors are monotonous, the characters are expressionless, and it is not even clear what is in the box, there is no superfluous flower head, extreme restraint and extreme indifference.

So cruel to make people feel cold and cornered.

This kind of cruelty is already inhuman, and those who give and bear this kind of cruelty have no other way but to destroy them.

The Night Porter quotes

  • Klaus: Even if it says a thousand persons on paper - ten thousand - it still makes less impression than one witness, in flesh and blood, staring at you. That is why they are so dangerous, Max. My task is to seek them out, wherever they are... and to see that they are filed away.

  • Hans: Max, our trials are held in private. They're also therapeutic, right? And the more shock value they have, the more effect they have. Only eyewitnesses can provoke this; because they go into details, they blurt out everything, they... you've seen it, haven't you? Only when confronted with *their* accusations can we discover how far we're able to defend ourselves!
