There are 500,000 Jews living in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. One day the German Nazis came and asked all Jews to wear white cloth printed with a blue star pattern on their arms as identification marks. The Jews were unwilling to be so divided, but they were still tied up, so the old Jewish man was scolded to go to the street and could only drip through the sewage of the road. On the way, the German soldiers had to bow or get a big slap in the face.
A few months later, all the Jews in the city were forced to move to the Jewish residential area. A wall separated their contacts with the Poles. In the residential area, adults and children starved to death, and beggars lying on the ground eating porridge appeared. The traffic lanes were full of German soldiers. When they waited to cross the road, the Jews were asked to dance happily. First, an old man was jumping there, then two old people were jumping and hugging each other, and then a lame old man with a cane was also at the barrel of the gun. Zixia was forced to dance happily until he fell... The scene was extremely funny but wanted to cry.
After another few months, the Jews moved from the concentrated settlements into the suburban concentration camps. The Nazis searched for young and strong labors from house to house, and the rest were all taken on trains and transported away like cattle. The destination is unknown. Many people thought it was just another concentrated settlement. , Some people vaguely understand that they will never look back. When searching the door, the Nazis asked everyone to stand up to greet him. An old man did not stand up (he was limping in a wheelchair) and was thrown downstairs with his wheelchair and was killed on the spot by the Nazis. When the Nazis walked, the corpses were everywhere, and their cars ran over the corpses one by one, still maintaining the good technique of driving in a straight line.
The woman who was escorted to the train kept wailing: "Why would I be like this?" When the Nazis were searching for the Jews, she hid in a box with her baby. The baby cried and she covered the baby's mouth. As a result, the baby died.
Less than 60,000 Jews were left to work hard. The Jews at each construction site lined up in three rows. After completing a phase of the project, the Jews in the first row lay down together, and the Nazis shot them to their heads and shot them to death. Drop one. When the sixth was killed without bullets, the sixth Jew was still lying on the ground. When the Nazis were filled with bullets and continued to die, the next two rows of Jews also watched, although there were fewer than ten Nazis with guns.
Some people were spared, such as our pianist.
He was hiding in Tibet. He survived with the help of some Polish friends and the kindness of a German officer. During the years of hiding, he ran for food or clothes, relying on a few sprouted potatoes and one or two pieces of stiff bread canned soup. Come down. Because it was a real person and real thing, no miracle occurred. He could only wait for the Russian army to repel the Germans and finally rescue the Polish Jews with less than 60,000 remaining in the constant hunger, sickness, shooting and explosion.
They originally had 500,000 and could fight back, but no one thought that their experience would go from bad to worse before the worse situation came. When they finally faced reality, there were only 60,000 left. It would not help to smuggle guns to fight guerrillas. .
And because this is a true story, their hope can only depend on the kindness of one or two Poles, and their dignity can only be verified by one or two bleak counterattacks, and the pianist’s weak artist temperament, even these. Unable to do this, he could only watch his five relatives die alive, while he played a piano to express his dignity.
But as an audience, the degree of dignity I see is trampled on is far from proportional to the degree to which the person’s dignity is restored. Even the final victory is so understated. It can be seen that the goal of the director is not to let the audience see, a person. In the humblest and desperate times, he can still have dignity. To a large extent, he probably hopes to show how the Jews have fallen into a more miserable situation without self-help. So after watching the movie, I still have to be more depressed and depressed, with no pleasure or relief at all, because I always only see how a person can survive like an ant by sacrificing dignity.
I think this kind of ending, someone will definitely not like it. I was so depressed when I saw it, not to mention that he was under such a physical and mental pain... I hate it to death.
After leaving the scene, walking on one of the most prosperous sections of the city, you can see very old beggars from time to time, lying on the streets and begging at about 11 o'clock in the evening. Standing in a subway car, a child was holding a can and was walking around asking for money. The can was swaying and swaying, and it seemed very boring. When he saw a passenger tending to pay, he immediately knelt down and kowtow. Regardless of whether there are instructions from the begging group behind, the child no longer knows what dignity is.
