This film, from the perspective of the visual art of the film, does not have much visual performance, nor does it explore the deep reasons behind Nazi psychology, but only tries its best to show the state of life. In the performance of these life states , this film can be said to be more vivid.
Two lives, one is in the position of the master, the other is just desperately trying to survive, and the strong desire to survive and intuition disguise himself as a Persian. The strong desire to survive even made him keenly choose from the beginning that he is a Persian who can only read, write and speak.
Because of the need to learn Persian, a delicate relationship reversed between the German officer with the power of life and death and the Jewish prisoner disguised as Persian. The prisoner became a teacher, and the officer became a student, but he still beat the teacher with arrogance. s student.
Language is a tool for communication, and learning a foreign language can be said to understand another culture. But the German logistics officers were not interested in learning about Persian culture, just thinking that speaking some spoken English could make a living in Tehran.
Language is for communication. The two even started to communicate through a fake language! The officer even told the prisoner about his childhood stories and some important memories in his life. Although life has been covered up and ignored, it seems to be eager to jump out at this time. How much of the inner world of German officers was touched by such a dialogue? What are the chances of life returning?
German officers didn't care about Jewish names, but learned Jewish names as a wonderful language. Also wrote a poem! Poetry is the inspiration in the depths of life. Such a contrast! The officer writes poetry, of course, is in pursuit of the so-called beauty and life, but the indifference of the heart has insulated him from the real beauty and life.
The play talks about various office trivia of Germans, and some people will think that the plot becomes too loose because of this. In fact, it is not scattered. These Germans have a normal life and even have various aesthetics, but they seem to be dead in the deepest part of their hearts, which makes people want to explore why people are like this and how life has been reduced to such a situation. Although the director of this film did not explore the reasons behind it much, the life situation shown in the film is enough to make the audience want to study the reasons behind it.
German officers learn Persian, it can be said that they are quite organized and persevering. They study step by step every day. According to the concept of modern education, they should be very good students. But he learned Persian just to be able to find a job in Tehran. He was not interested in learning about another culture and another group of people. It felt like learning English today. Does the reason behind the Nazis' disregard for life have something to do with modern education being so deviated from human nature?
It seems that the fake Persians ask the prisoners their names every time they make soup for their teaching, and repeat their names every time. Everyone who comes here has different life conditions, but the Gapos people associate their names with their respective life states, and instead let these forgotten and neglected names regain life one by one. Much like the little novices or monks in the Buddhist family get their new names.
These lives are not nobler than those of the German officers, nor inferior to them, they are all the same fresh life! It's just the external circumstances that make these lives appear like this!
