I've watched this movie twice. I saw half of it in the second time and realized that I had watched it before. After too long, I had forgotten the first time.
When I watched it for the third time, I discovered that the producers were Germany and Poland, two countries that had also been gang raped. Because of Germany's defeat in World War II, all Berlin women in the city were gang raped by Soviet soldiers many times. Germany was divided into several parts and ruled separately. Poland was even more miserable. It was given away by other countries, and the country was destroyed by gang violence.
This kind of gang violence at the national level is not intuitive, so I talked about the living perspective of Berlin women.
Indeed, as many wise women in ancient times once said, there is no essential difference between a wife and a prostitute. Both need to depend on men because they are not financially independent. If the country is not independent, it will be as sorrowful as the fate of prostitutes.
The East once produced many famous prostitutes with talents, intelligence, color, and art. They were no longer prostitutes, but Ji, female ministers who could enter the dynasty as officials. Sai Jinhua, Xiaofengxian, Liu Ruye, North Korea and Huang Jinyi. Huang Jinyi’s poems are even included in Korean middle school textbooks, and Sai Jinhua can even mediate on such major diplomatic events as the Eight-Power Allied Forces marching into Beijing.
The women's desire to survive in Berlin allowed them to survive hardships, instead of being crazy or committing suicide like the men whose will was destroyed by national calamity and humiliation. Instead, they closed their wounds and survived tenaciously.
In order to survive, Berlin women took the initiative to form a stable sexual relationship with a Soviet military officer. Berlin women can therefore reduce the number of abuses and the physical damage caused by gang violence, as well as scarce food. The officer can get a stable lover, and can even talk about spiritual exchanges such as music and books. The trauma of the war to the Soviets is also huge. Obviously, this stylish Soviet officer is not so cruel, but the low-level Soviet soldiers have the fate and hatred of today and tomorrow, and they are more likely to lose all their taboos and humanity, and madly insult the defeated country. .
When the Soviet army retreated the Japanese army in the northeast and occupied the northeast, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling personally flew to Chang-chun for labor. They had to give away money and promised benefits. They finally sent the big brother away. According to local chronicles and historical records, the Soviet army took over the commander. The city of Spring also looted the people in the city and carried out gang violence against female citizens. But this period of history is taboo, and no one dares to mention it. People who know this period of history feel that the monument to Soviet heroes in the park is a shame.
The movie "Liu Rushi" was very dynamic in the filming and production that year, and the score was not high, but it was a good work. Qian Yiqian, played by Qin Han, is a man of style and talent. He is politically unwilling to be squeezed out. He falls in love with Liu Rushi. When the country was ruined, he agreed to join the river. Greet the Qing soldiers entering the gate outside the city gate. This act of surrender has become infamous through the ages. However, Liu Ru discovered among the people that the people don't care who seizes power at all. The so-called literati and officialdom's national integrity that cares about the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the individual. In the face of survival, they are all hopeless extravagant desires.
The same goes for women in Berlin. They are like soldiers of prisoners of war. It is helpless to surrender, save lives and have a chance to come to Japan. The unarmed and unorganized people desperately resisted to death, a meat grinder, and it was futile.
Women are easy to be implied as mothers of the earth, nurturing all things, great tolerance, and tenacious vitality. "The Woman of Berlin" in this period of history is humiliation on the surface, but awe at the deep level, awe of life. They were trampled under the feet like the lowest-level livestock, and they were not destroyed, but survived stubbornly. With this kind of confidence, the country can survive the long years of humiliation, wait for the spring to recover, and wait for the day of reunification and reunification.
Germany is a magical country. It was split into three parts during World War II and was ruled by different forces. It could be merged many years later. As a country, the Korean peninsula is still divided into two countries, but the same ethnic group opposes and hates each other. The rest of Europe is not so lucky. Since the split of the former Yugoslavia, there have been constant wars in the Bosai region. Syria is also an endless refugee. It may not be united for too long, and permanent changes may be formed. Dude's "Last Lesson" talks about this kind of embarrassment and contradiction.
This "Woman in Berlin" was very well filmed and was very controversial back then, but the audience should be able to see the dignity in the humiliation, no matter how hard it is, no matter how hard it is, they will all live by gritting their teeth, and there is hope for survival. This spirit is always worthy of respect.
