If it were you, what would you do?

If you are different from the people around you on the big issues, are you willing to stick to your own opinions?

If you don’t recognize some of the country’s practices or the rule of zf, can you stay on your own?

If you are forced to do things you don't want to do or even hurt others, will you stick to your conscience?

If you have to choose between "speaking insincere" and "death", where will you go?

Of course, different people have different choices. Bruno sacrificed and Galileo succumbed. Last year, Desmond Doss, the protagonist of "Blood Battle on Hacksaw Ridge", rarely achieved both goals, while the character prototype Franz Jagerstatter of this film graciously died because he refused to pronounce Hitler's oath.

This film is too Malik: epic production, documentary scenery, poetic voiceovers, philosophical themes...Of course, this also means that there are still two levels of commentary. Lovers talk about it, and those who hate it are brooding. I feel that after so many years, I can slowly enjoy this kind of ethereal meditation and let me go. Will the 76-year-old Ma be able to take the name of a golden figure like another Ma’s almost the same age in the future?

    Unique photography, a bit of a pseudo-documentary feeling. The male protagonist gave a diametrically opposite performance to the sharp Gestapo in "Inglourious Basterds." See Bruno Ganz again, but unfortunately there are few shots. The film is light and soothing, but it feels heavier as the story progresses. Under the cruel Darwinian law of society, everyone can kneel before power for the things they cherish, which is not ashamed. But it's a sin to despise or isolate those "standing people" and try to make themselves look less dirty by wiping out the afterglow of humanity.

    Unhistorical acts, countless hidden lives. nature cannot feel human's sorrow.

A Hidden Life quotes

  • Mayor Kraus: This is what happens when a world dies. Men survive. But their life is gone. Their life is gone! Their reason for living.

  • Franz Jägerstätter: [interal monologue] Once you never forgave anyone... judged people without mercy. Now you see your own weakness... so you can understand the weakness of others.
