MAX claims to be "the fallen man." He wandered around in the world where the demons danced, leaving his boyfriend aside to find another prey. Until the arrival of the Nazis, the blond boy died, and MAX and her boyfriend began to flee. He planned to get two fake ID cards and a ticket to the Netherlands, but it all ended in the night when the Nazis chased them. On the train to the concentration camp, the Nazis tortured MAX's boyfriend severely. In order to prove that he was not gay, MAX killed him; in order to survive, he was forced to kill a girl under the force of the Nazis, a 13-year-old girl who had never met. In the concentration camp, he fell in love with another person-HORST, although he did not admit it. He said that anyone who loves him will die. The ending was indeed like this, but what he never expected was that he would follow.
This film is adapted from a stage play, which is revealed everywhere in the movie. The movie scenes are not changed much, the colors are simple, and the scene layout of moving rocks in MAX and HORST is a bit abstract. Music is even the main thing here. From the dangerous and melancholic piano at the beginning, to the neurotic duo playing violin, the sky above was covered with clouds little by little, so that the whole film was saturated with sadness and accusation.
The scene of MAX and HORST having sex in words is shocking. In that era, in concentration camps, they felt each other by words and hearts, imagined in their minds, imagined each other's body temperature, the touch of fingers, kisses, sex, and said little by little,
"Did you feel me?" ? "
" Yes. "
" I kiss your chest, "
" Yes. "
" your lower body ....... "
Horst fell ill later and he felt cold. MAX hopes that he can warm him, the only way is words and imagination. In the end, he was finally allowed to hug HORST when he was buried. He put his arms around him and told him I won't let you go, never. He said I think I love you, hush, don't tell anyone, I think I love the dancing boy too, although I don't even know his name, don't be jealous.
Without the Nazis, MAX could continue his "fraternity" and have fun at will, his boyfriend could also continue his favorite dance class, and the cave-like place could continue to live a fornicating and happy life. The Nazis tore everything up. It loves to let people watch their beloved things be tortured and destroyed, and it loves to let people destroy them by themselves. It satisfies its pathological desires fearlessly. However, after MAX's boyfriend was tortured to death, the officer sat in the carriage and wiped his eyes. The Nazis are sinful, but why does it exist and become so powerful? Why can it make a rational person do the craziest things blindly and madly?
At the end of the film, when HORST goes to the grid, he knows what the end of fate will be. He gently wiped his eyebrows, and finally told Max his love, which was the secret between them. Under the eyes of the Nazis, under the eyes of the Nazis who wanted to kill homosexuals, he still "said" "I love you".
MAX finally took off the jewish prison uniform and put on the HORST dress with a pink armband-the gay symbol. What he had refused to admit in order to survive, and finally he took it back. And the price paid in order to refuse to admit it also disappeared with the flash of electricity.
