The sudden reversal of the ending makes me think...

An old man who walked tremblingly, was ordered by friends in the nursing home to shoot the Nazis all over the world. He searched for a long time and found a Nazi, only to find that he was also a notorious German Nazi.
Reflecting on the movie at the end, I remembered some small details. First, the old man obeyed his friend's orders 100%. He let me take the train, and I take the train. He asked me to kill the Nazis, and I would kill the Nazis. Even if these painful memories didn't happen in his life at all, he passed through his friends. Later, he said: I remember. Did he always remember everything he had done to his friend in the subconscious mind, in order to redeem his sins, and for the final relief, he obeyed all of his friends?
Second. Before the end, the old man has always appeared before us in a kind and amiable image. He likes to chat with children, he would giggle when watching cartoons... At the end, the plot suddenly reversed. The kind old grandfather was once a Nazi, a murderous Nazi. But after he repents, should we forgive him for what he did before?

    Deep, restrained, rational shots and performances. The reversal and sublimation of the ending, the pain caused by the war cannot be erased.

    The suspense film with the most guessed ending of the year. So I pay more attention to the performance of Christopher Plummer. How old is the history of World War II? One by one, the old physical bodies sway offensive and defensively to show you personally.
