After watching the drama "Music Box" by French director Costa Gavras, I couldn't sleep in the long night. A Hungarian immigrant, an old man, raised his children diligently and dutifully in the United States alone, with a harmonious and warm family, but the harmony was broken by a sudden accusation of war criminals. Obviously there is no scene of a bloody massacre, but the witnesses in the court hearing the killing in calm language, but it is chilling and shocking. They were not hysterical, opened up the wounds of the old scars and faced the past again. They may have become accustomed to being pickled with salt, but the chilling back of their feet made Annie, who was originally confident, unable to defend her father. It is undoubtedly a form of torture to let children face the details of various cruel crimes committed by their father 40 years ago, and the unpredictable destruction and puncture take turns to test their endurance. The beloved person you once thought you knew and trusted the most suddenly collapsed in a few days and became a beast. The evidence of the truth is a sharp blade, which cuts through the hypocrisy of the perpetrator and exposes the tyranny that normal people cannot understand. When the last evidence of the crime was discovered, Annie's heart-strings could even be heard, and when she cleared the fog, it was written on his body: murderous ethnic cleansing. Atonement or disguise cannot be freed at all. Annie has gained pain from her unbelief-doubt-shock-real spiritual experience, which also allows us to face this dark history and human nature once again. What is even more poignant is that, 40 years after the genocide, there are still Nazi forces trying to excuse Michili. With a tough attitude, he was acquitted due to insufficient evidence. All grievances will be unwilling to wander in such a cold night, torturing their conscience. The daughter's collapse and atrocities, the personal misery and the tragedy of the family and the country, the style of double abuse is bitterly cold. There are two sour experiences in this film: one is the courtroom scene. The second is the comparison of the atmosphere before and after, heating up to the climax of the conflict. The protagonist's performance is unforgettable, especially the heroine, who has a strong sense of substitution. Push. (repair)
