Before the film was released, the teacher took Lenny Riefenstahl's "Victory of Will" and "Night and Fog" to let us choose, saying that we had already selected many in the DISCOVERY documentary "Nazis and Hitler" that we had seen before. The scene in "The Triumph of the Will." And "Night and Fog" has the most realistic concentration camp. So almost all the classmates shouted: "Night and fog". I believe that after 35 minutes, all the classmates are in the same mood as me, that is, regretting and rejoicing.
We have all overestimated our ability to bear, thinking that after reading countless descriptions of Nazi crimes, we can really accept those pictures. Before I started, I was still thinking that people like me who have watched countless bloody European and American films should not be affected. I didn't expect that it would become as unstable as it is now.
It’s not that the Nazis don’t treat people as human beings. It’s not that they don’t know that they committed all sorts of disgusting and extinct crimes. Concentration camps, mass graves, gas chambers, crematoriums, everyone knows how these things are returned. I don’t know if we are accustomed to hearing the tragic stories about killings in the war, and we often even take a little numbness to look at those pictures and words. Then, after only a few minutes of regrets and regrets for our predecessors, we are worried about what clothes we will wear tomorrow. I admit, I am like this. I used to have a shallow sense of guilt because of this. At that time, I was thinking whether I became numb or was living in my own world more and more, or I just saw too many of the same stories and changed It's not so easy to get excited.
I really didn't know at that time, someone could actually take all this.
Not only photos, but also movies. Documentary.
Pile of corpses, scrawny old women and children. I know you won’t feel much discomfort when you read this sentence. I also know that it’s not because you are not kind or numb, but because you are used to it, and because you haven’t really seen the scene. , I don’t think you can imagine the shock that the image brings to you.
There are so many dead bodies, which are totally beyond imagination, and you really know what piles up like a mountain. You will really see a bulldozer of this size slowly moving forward in the pile of corpses, allowing the corpses of such a huge volume to enter the pit little by little. At that time, what you feel is no longer a terror, you will Feeling desperate.
Think about it, those were once alive, with the same looks and thinking as ours.
Despair is a bit ubiquitous throughout the film. The presentation of the image is too direct.
I have heard that the conditions in the concentration camps are extremely bad, but when you really see how those people sleep in a cage that is a little bit bigger, you can see their eyes with no brilliance, and see their skinny bodies. When I think about the fate that is about to fall on them. Despair, except for despair, you have no time to have other feelings.
I don't believe you have seen real skinny people. Unless you have watched this movie.
In concentration camp hospitals, they are all tools of killing. No matter what kind of illness the Jews are, they are all injected with a medicine, a medicine that allows them to see God early. Those patients who will not be injected become toys for doctors to dismember. There will even be Nazi officers coming from afar to perform the operations themselves.
You will see doctors with fat brains and nurses who are obviously terrified. There are also icy operating tables. There are also those Jews who go to the hospital for treatment with a glimmer of hope. Thinking about what they will encounter later, it makes people unable to breathe.
Where can a horror film get one percent of its essence?
There are also all kinds of human fragments, baskets of skulls.
There are many close-up eyes, old people, children, women. Without a pair of eyes, even a little bit of vitality and hope is hidden.
I don't want to talk about so many bloody and violent scenes, these are all things I don't want to recall anymore.
Desperate scenes.
I heard that the Nazis would shave the heads of Jews who entered concentration camps, and they would also practice corpse oil to make soap. Human skin is made into high-quality paper. In the film, you can see many, many, many, many hairs, tightly piled black hairs, and the camera slowly sweeps from the bottom to the height, which actually took nearly half a minute. Stacks of soap and paper with pictures.
Desperate, believe me, I really don't feel much horror.
There is shuddering.
In the end, the Nazi officer said frankly in the trial court: It's not my fault
, but whose fault it is.
I don't believe Hitler has some kind of magic or divine power, he just singled out the darkest and nasty part of their human nature.
Still, these people have no humanity. That has no humanity, what are they.
Or, there is such a dark part in everyone's human nature, but most of the human beings will not be tempted out for the rest of their lives. This is a terrible idea.
What I like to say is that everyone’s human nature is pure and kind at first, but the dark side that appears later is to adapt to the mutations of this society.
Whatever it is, it's all over.
Teacher Deng said that many teachers would not show this film to students, because once young people are infected by the Nazi spirit, it is very dangerous.
Then he said again, I believe yours.
The film is not long, it looks like a little over half an hour. There is what the concentration camp looks like in the film: the brick house looks simple and tidy, and the execution ground has grown lush grass. The author said that the war has subsided, but we can’t close our eyes. Grass grows up on the inspection square around the camp. The forgotten village is still in crisis. The crematorium has been abandoned. The evil of the Nazis has become a drama for children today. , 90 million ghosts wander in this suburb.
9 million ghosts... At the end of
class, my hands and feet were cold. Fortunately, the October sun in Guangzhou was still bright and shining, so I was slightly comforted.
And everyone on the road looks so healthy and beautiful. My mood gradually warmed up, and I never felt that life was so precious.
