Todd was originally not interested in the history of World War II, but the cruel violence of the Nazis. In the film, Todd uses the collected evidence as a threat to force Du Shande to tell him about the violence and murder in the concentration camp. From the beginning, he was concerned about these dehumanizing cruelties. Gradually, under the influence of darkness, this concern gradually turned into yearning, even faith. From the Nazi icons painted on the books to the military uniforms given to Dushande, they all marked his yearning for Nazi officers.
And like Dushande, the cruel truth of the Nazis was gradually awakened, and the only remaining human nature in my heart began to suffer pain. In my dreams and hearts, the sorrows of the concentration camps flooded like a flood, and the viciousness of greed became more and more serious. Sexual pressure is also increasing, forcing Todd and Dushande to seek release from the tramp, and the devil gradually awakens in this way.
The tramp is a metaphor for the war criminals slaughtered in the concentration camp. Todd kills the tramp, expressing his longing for cruelty and becoming a true bloodthirsty devil. Todd kills the tramp, indicating the rebirth of an old devil. Under the darkness of the Nazis, they were gradually assimilated.
