Fear and evil are so close. People are so weak because they are weak. The origin of war, fear and weakness. When you are in a "wrong" world, facing the temptation or torture of this wrong, can you still distinguish good from evil, even if you can distinguish, will you persist? Even if you can persist, but the temptation is big enough for you, or the torture is deadly enough, what would you do? Even if you have done it all and have experienced the test of time, will you be the same?
It's so terrible to consider step by step, but I, a man who seems to have a pursuit, have the most primitive weakness and fear of things and the world.
Making a decision is difficult, and fulfilling a decision in time is even more difficult.

This is a reflection of the war, the best movie I have currently watched. There is no direct sword, light and sword shadow, but it reflects the cruelty of war, analyzes the essence of war, the source of war, and interprets human nature very well.
Each character refers to a certain type of person, the protagonist is representative, cruelty in beauty, and kindness in cruelty.
Think of Shakespeare's Macbeth, think of Hamlet-whether it is survival or destruction.

    I thought it was a movie that I couldn't get 5 stars anyway, because the Chinese subtitles of the downloaded version are really bad, and the translation of many paragraphs is a bit out of tune , so it can only be read together with English words, which is very laborious. However, the second half of the film, especially the last 30 minutes, is unusually exciting. Although the production of the whole film is a little rough, the script is very brilliant, especially the ending of the film, which firmly confirms the idea of ​​​​giving five stars, and ends with a classic film history. The success of this film is also inseparable from the wonderful portrayal of Ada, who plays the old grandmother. This performance is indeed quite brilliant. No wonder he was nominated for the Oscar for the year with the foreign language film nomination. The actor who plays the male lead is also very good, especially the drunk scene.

    Super masterpiece. My favorite Jewish movie I've ever seen. The old woman often recalls the words "daughter, brother, husband" that she used to say, and it is because she has many happy memories that it is touching. The young man had repeatedly questioned the old man about the Jewish situation, and knew that in the end the old man did not believe it. She ignored what he said because she would never believe how it could be like this between people; or maybe she knew everything. , she also said, "Fear is the root of the devil, don't be afraid".

The Shop on Main Street quotes

  • Markus Kolkocký: I'll have him arrested. Him and all the Jew-lovers!

    Antonin Brtko: A Jew-lover?

    Markus Kolkocký: A dirty Jew-lover, your Mr. Kuchár. We know all about him. We're keeping an eye on him. I'm warning you, stay away from him! A Jew-lover is worse than a regular Jew. He isn't one of them, but he's on their side.

    Antonin Brtko: Interesting.

    Markus Kolkocký: Interesting? You bloody fool. Dangerous! Remember that. They're dangerous, remember that!

  • Rozalia Lautmannová: [in Tóno's dream] Fear is the root of all evil. Once we no longer live in fear of each other... Do you hear the bells?
