The cruelty of Germany, the betrayal of Britain and France, Russia’s disregard for Poland’s isolated war, justice is just an illusory banner. Pain is real and personal. To see what the movie expresses requires a bit of historical common sense; in the end, the appearance of German officers gave hope to the whole. The loss of the above does not mean that the individual’s humanity is lost. Simple and profoundly critical, but fair. The style I like is deeply sympathetic to the Jews, but it does not mean that they are innocent. Thumbs up

    [A+] No wonder Polanski said that this is his most proud work, and he deserves it. Leaving aside the superb and mature audiovisual expressions, Guan's "subjective peeping" perspective recurring in the film is enough to discuss. This kind of "subjective peeping" lens design is really powerful. On the one hand, it not only fits the protagonist's own escape hidden predicament, but also actively restrains those tyrannical images in terms of visual expression. On the contrary, it makes the emotion conveyed in the image more profound. Speaking of "restraint" is also one of the main themes of this film. Every picture is calm enough, and every character maintains a corresponding demeanor, which makes the human tragedy reflected behind it even more unbearable. This is a truly great anti-war movie. Whether it is audiovisual, emotional, or perspective and expression, it has achieved an impeccable appreciation of elegance and commonality, which is admirable.
