what will you do?

There are many stories about sacrificing the ego for justice or faith in China. We are moved by their awe-inspiring righteousness, but we rarely dig deeper into the human nature and how they overcome their inherent fears. This story shows in detail the changes in human nature and hearts. Let me simplify this story. She treats you very well and you love her very much. When a disaster strikes, all people like her will be taken away, there may be life concerns, and those who help them will be severely punished. what will you do? This is a Czechoslovak film in 1965, about the decision of a Czech when the Jews were concentrated in the "first-line labor camp" during the fall of World War II. The whole film is 128 minutes, and a lot of pen and ink is used to describe the seemingly leisurely and peaceful life in Czechoslovakia at the time of the fall. The wooden Nazi memorial tower in the square is being built, the ownership of the Jewish shop is being transferred, step by step, a little bit of calm is broken. The whole film didn't last long at the end, but it described the Czech's psychological process from protecting an old Jewish lady to the final end in a very detailed manner.

From the point of view of the film, it is very exciting, from the psychological feeling it is very broken, and can feel the scalp numb. This is a portrayal of the human nature of an ordinary little person, there is no praise or criticism, but it is true. Most people have a sense of justice and a desire for protection. Can they persist in extreme circumstances? Or is it capable of continuing to do it? When fear fills the heart, what can be done to find inner peace? At this time, the moral bottom line becomes the last line of defense. I recommend everyone to feel it for yourself. Slowly immerse yourself in the life, atmosphere, and people at that time in the first 100 minutes, and feel the torture of human nature in the next ten minutes. No matter what the result is, please accept that true self.

    4.5 terrible tenderness. Backstage (underground).

    The characters are cleverly set. A down-and-out carpenter + a religious old lady, the survival of a small person in a social movement. Small town life, ordinary people's daily life and alienation from sports, so the perception of social situation is extremely subtle. The best movie in the WWII rescue theme. The kindness, weakness and helplessness of little people. The daily life of the town is full of danger. The complexity and subtlety of human nature, "fear is the root of evil", fear and evil are only one thought.

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?
