Slowly start to choose self-interest in order to protect yourself while comforting yourself. Everything is not what you want to do to ease your conscience and self-deception.

The protagonist responds to his friends, I don't agree with them (Nazis), it doesn't matter. The power is in their hands, and we just work part-time. If we want to change the status quo, we have to guide them. We can't just stand by. Jewish friends, we? Who are we referring to? What right do I have to guide them. I am not even a citizen. In fact, in law, I am not even regarded as a human being, so I can only stand idly by. Excerpt from other film reviews: The hero's numbness makes the viewer a little bit embarrassed, just like a frog that has been put into warm water and gradually cooked. He does not know it, and the people around him do not know it. At this time, the environment has changed. We, and how have we changed the environment and affected more people? Originally not interested in politics, he also held an indifferent but accepting attitude towards the black hats and shortcuts that the Nazis put on his head, and even naively believed that he could still stay out of the matter. It turns out that the Nazis had a euthanasia program, targeting disabled newborns to adults, "If you have too many patients in your hospital, kill them, so you will have a place." It means saving food. Then expanded to Gypsies and Jews. The "Source of Life" project, combining elites with pure-bred Aryan women, provides a place where children can be born and kept secret, so that they can quietly give birth to illegitimate (ethical) babies. Himmler did everything in order to achieve the extremely ridiculous goal of the so-called "great German superior nation", and even promoted the SS members based on the number of children. The divorce between the male protagonist and the original spouse, and the union with his mistress also dilutes guilt in this policy. The other officer, knowing that he was infertile, even had the idea of ​​borrowing seeds to have children in order not to affect his promotion. Everything in front of me is like an illusion, just temporary. This was the same psychology of many Germans at that time. There was a dialogue between the two about the musician Mahler. The subtle place named the fate of the Jews (in 1897, in 1897, in order to preserve the prestigious position of artistic director of the Vienna State Opera, Mahler, who was originally a Jew, converted to Catholicism) "Maler is a Jew." "But he converted." "So what, he is still a Jew." Just like countless German Jews like Maurice, born and grown here, fought for this country, shed blood and sacrificed After "whatever, he is still a Jew", the terrible things are stubborn prejudice (Jewish ancestry must be eliminated), and self-brainwashing (everything is temporary, all I do is for myself and my family), As everyone knows, under the torrent of the times, you cannot make your own choices, cannot cleanse yourself, and can only numb your own actions.
