On February 18, 1933, this night was destined to be not as simple as a family gathering

On February 18, 1933, the Parliament building caught fire. On the same night, the Baron of the Esbeck Steel Family celebrated his birthday, and this night was destined to be more than just a family gathering.

I especially said a sentence that led the whole article: “Before the fire in the Reichstag is extinguished, the old Germans will be reduced to ashes.”

God’s will, this is destined to be a different night from the usual, “I advocate starting from the last political The pressure, or the protection of our Esbeck Steelworks from greater adventures,’ what the baron said at the table became his last words, even though he had never had a close relationship with the gentleman (i.e. Hitler). But his descendants will be closely related to the war provoked by this country.

The Italians used artistic exaggeration and arrogance (incest, child abuse, infidelity) to secretly shoot the madness and demise of the German Nazis.
Martin, because of the lack of maternal love since childhood, and the fear of his mother, made him suffer from a serious child abuse and mother-to-mother complex. Is it possible to understand that in a country lacking love, his people will lose their humanity and reason? So as to make a crazy move.

Lucino Visconti, a director who had other ideas about the Nazis, took the panorama of Germany under the rule of the Nazis into his brain, but based on a big steel family, he painted a full picture of Germany.
In my opinion, a director with ambition, ambition and artistic expression is an awesome director.

In the end,
let’s sort out the relationship between the characters: Baron Esbeck, whose wife is called Sophie, Sophie has a lover called Frederick, and Sophie’s cousin is the handsome Nazi Archibacher in the film.
The baron has two sons, Te and Martin. They have two uncles, Hubbert and Constantine. Hubbert’s wife is Elizabeth, and they have two daughters.

Finally, the story ends with a poem
"We have no shoulders to cry on, and you and I will end in heaven".

The Damned quotes

  • Sophie Von Essenbeck: It's not a joke. Enormous interests are at stake, and Martin thinks...

    Konstantin Von Essenbeck: As far as I know, it's the first time Martin ever used his head to think!

  • Sophie Von Essenbeck: Don't fool yourself, however, Elizabeth. Don't dream of coming back one day to find a Germany which was so dear to your heart. It's finished, that Germany, forever. There will be no other Germany but this one, and you will not be able to escape it for it will spread before you know it all over Europe and everywhere!
