The background of the film's story takes place in World War II. After France was occupied, the Vichy regime, out of consideration for Germany and also because of hatred for Jews, joined the Nazis to expel the French and French Jews in France. Of the 13,000 deported during this event, 4,500 were sent to concentration camps in the east, of which only 25 survived. The film is based on true events. It's not the first time I've seen a film about the Nazi massacre of Jews, but I'm still stunned by the vitriolic, dirty political deal between the Vichy regime and the Nazis. At the same time, I don't understand why Europeans hate Jews so much, and they have to put these ordinary people to death. Is it just because they are smarter and better at business, or because some Jewish businessmen are too rich and unkind? As an Asian, I can't know this, but I have to ask: how do we defuse hatred of a race. Of course, I also saw the kindness of ordinary people in the atmosphere of terror. Many people did their best to rescue and protect the Jews around them. This is why the Vichy regime originally planned to round up 24,000 people, but only 13,000 people were arrested in the end. More French people just choose to ignore and turn a blind eye, but the price is the shock of the soul and endless inner condemnation. As for the captured Jews, in fact, they all knew their fate and just chose to escape. Most people choose to think about the good, and once the worst happens, they can only bear it silently. After all, there are only a few people who fight against fate.
There are not many characters in the film, but the size of the scene is combined, the camera and framing are very particular, the character description is combined with the background introduction, and the psychological description is meticulous, which can be called an excellent work.
