If you want to reflect on the war, you must show the bloodiest and most ruthless side of it. If the butterfly at the end of "No War on the Western Front" attracts the soldiers in the trenches on both sides, the two sides meet face-to-face in the middle of the battlefield, and then throw away all their rifles and hug them together... Then "No War on the Western Front" is at best. It can only be included in the category of adult fairy tales like "Eavesdropping Storm" and cannot be among the classics.
Mr. HGW XX/7 already knew how to draw a cross under the student's name when he was teaching in school, so why wouldn't the national security department conduct the same and stricter downward screening when selecting pawns. A cruel and cruel position only requires the same cruel and cruel minions, and it will certainly only make him more cruel and cruel. After cutting off the first head, the executioner can only become more and more comfortable and familiar. The survival of the fittest, the more suitable the survival. Obviously, HGW XX/7 has already become a senior in the industry.
Those dissident intellectuals are themselves an absurd drama. Isn’t the reason why totalitarianism is consolidated depends on the ignorance and duplicity remaining after the brave and sober people who dared to say “no” publicly are eliminated? There was a time when it was not easy for intellectuals to remain silent besides agreeing and agreeing. Where can they find a way out of saying "no"?
As for the plot of the secret police who left in disgrace because they could not find a typewriter, it was even more incredible. Only judges and juries need evidence. Why do spies in totalitarian countries need evidence? Can you use it as a toothpick to pick your teeth? Under true totalitarianism, there are always only criminals and no suspects. Can't find a typewriter? Very good, dragged into the interrogation room, without even torture, just stay without sleep for a few days-just like the poor man at the beginning of HGW XX/7-a man who was pampered like a male protagonist, and was still swinging around not long ago. What other options does the weak scholar have besides explaining?
Since we want to show the human struggle under the iron curtain of totalitarianism, why use totalitarianism that is far from reaching its peak or has begun to loosen up as the background? Therefore, movies like "Eavesdropping Storm" can earn high scores in Hollywood, but in certain countries, it is inevitable that they will be dressed in fairy tales against their original intentions. In those places, there are more thrilling stories, but for some reason, even one such movie has never been made.
