Man and war

The story of a woman who walked out of a concentration camp and rebuilt her soul with the ruins. It sounds like the story of a lucky guy. He walked out of the concentration camp and thought he was free, but unexpectedly he just walked into another meat grinder. It was not just the city that collapsed. No one has the right to comment on whether this is lucky or not. No one wants to see the paradise in which he lives collapse, the building cannot be restored to its original taste, and even more so are people.

The film does not show the brutal and inhumane violence in the concentration camp, but the outside world feels no more comfortable than in the concentration camp, or even more helpless. This shows that after the war, people's hearts are even more terrible than the city and the flesh.

A woman suffered innocent violence in a concentration camp, and the only person who supported her persevering was her husband.

After walking out of the concentration camp, I found that my family had been ruined. The whereabouts of her husband was unknown. Although she survived, she was totally unrecognizable. Even the doctor could not restore her to her own appearance.

She looked for her husband on the ruins every day, but after finding her husband, she no longer knew herself, but was treated as a lifeless person and combined with her husband to defraud her own property. She still cooperated and found out that her husband had betrayed and secretly tried to get along with herself. Still cooperate with him after the divorce.


This time I dare not to call this woman stupid, because until now no one can imagine how difficult the life in the concentration camp is, how many times the person in my heart has supported her and took her life in the hands of death, she really did not deceive herself Can't survive. She didn't dare to see her face, just like she didn't dare to see the truth. Perhaps what she was looking for was not the man, but the self and the life she used to find. She wants to prove her existence.


The story is a bit ironic, black or even absurd. The war is over, but the war in people's heart is always going on. The war between black and white, right and wrong never ceases, and never results. We should not despise fear and betrayal. In the environment of the great age, human nature cannot be beautiful. It should be said that we are half as beautiful and ugly, and there are no boundaries. Is war ugly? But it was not the war that killed that woman, but the people who supported her through the war.

Self-crushing is very painful, but self-deception is very pitiful. I am very happy that she finally became her "self" in her singing. I think she might not be very happy. What will happen to everyone in the next life? Can't guess.

Human beings are like this in the first place. They are looking for beauty and creating tragedies on the other. Both individuals and nations cannot escape this fate. The purpose of war has never been suffering, but what war brings to most people is suffering. People never choose for ugliness, but beauty and ugliness are always one.

If you stand in reason and watch this movie, this woman will get liberated, but standing in life watching this movie, this woman is just a man, and there is still a long way to go out of war.
