When is the head?

I downloaded and watched this film following my instincts,

because I didn’t know it was Paul Van Hoeven’s film when I watched it, and didn’t wear "glasses" [Paul Van Hoeven is a master of movies and a master of erotic films], In this way, I saw a true story after unconsciously retiring from the outer halo of the movie.

No more talk about the bloody scene of the Nazis shooting a boat man at close range,
no more talk about the heroine dyeing her pubic hair in the mirror in order to disguise as a blonde beauty
. The climax of the full text appears when Ellis heard that the man had repented and When the German officer she loved was killed, she convulsed with excitement, and finally said in pain, "When was she tall?"

Yes, let's see what the war has brought to her. The family was betrayed and killed; she devoted herself to the Dutch Revolution and betrayed her body; she was framed so that the German army and the Dutch resistance group regarded her as an enemy; she managed to survive liberation but was hunted down by her former comrades in arms; and she was a traitor after the war. He was beaten naked and humiliated by pouring big dung on his body.

She still endured these things, because they were nothing to her who had been killed in person by her family.

But everything is not over. Her only relative, [German officer boyfriend] was not shot dead for treason [Germany] before the war, but was killed by the Germans after the war because of a stupid and ridiculous treaty signed between the Canadian officers who occupied the Netherlands and the Germans. Suddenly lost the last line of meaning to survive in this war-torn era!

If God is fair, how can there be an inferior nation!
If God is fair, how could there be such a sad age!

When is the head? Is it necessary for ellis to survive?
Yes, of course there is. Look for the black hand behind the scenes, and the enemy.

At the end our loving God also made a joke. The hero of the liberation of the country in the hearts of the people, and the elite of the Dutch resistance organization turned out to be the black hand. The black hand betrayed the country for money, betrayed his comrades in arms, betrayed irrelevant painful and helpless Jewish refugees, and even betrayed his brother. The poor ELLIS didn't notice it, and still let him heal himself with peace of mind. She didn't realize it until she woke up from the drowsiness when the black hand injected her overdose of insulin and removed the pretense.

If it is not for the "black hand" to think that it is foolproof, to accept the worship of ignorant people;
if it is not for ELLIS to make decisive judgments with rich knowledge;
if it is not for that piece of chocolate, she must die.

In the end everything was quiet, the crime was washed away, and the damn finally died, a perfect ending that was too tragic.


At the end of the film, ellis recalled the end, the alarm sounded, ellis and a man and two children returned to a heavily armed and rudimentary settlement, and the sound of fighting sounded not far away.
