in nearly twenty years of age, I read the muddle on "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", and in two, due to the lack of the end, I can only see To the "prosperous" side of the Nazi Empire, coupled with the objective and calm writing style of the author William Shirer, my vague impression of the book is that it successfully evoked an ignorant young man's blind yearning for powerful figures, iron-blooded order, and even In adoration... Fortunately, with age, dangerous values wither in the bud, and I'm beginning to agree with the history books: Hitler's death is a new beginning for mankind.
Therefore, watching the movie "Assassination of Hitler" is quite a bit of "filling in the blanks" for my history class: Since Hitler's suicide on April 30, 1945 has become an event marked in the history, then this incident was planned by German officer Stauffenberg. The assassination operation is doomed to fail, but the key is the process, what will the process be like? This constitutes the suspense of the film.
Hitler is indeed the savior of Hollywood, just like Chiang Kai-shek will always be the villain of my country's second-rate war films, and "Assassination of Hitler" is no exception. From the beginning of the film, Cruise affirmed that Hitler "is not only the enemy of the people of the world". , is the enemy of the German people." Under the circumstances that this political concept and moral concept have been established, I had to bet my expectations for the movie on the curiosity of the "assassination" process.
Thank God, the "exciting" movie viewing appeal was satisfied. Through the detailed analysis of the assassination, I still accompany Tom Cruise on a near-miss roller coaster. Especially in the movie before and after he dropped the bomb in front of Hitler, it really made people sweat.
But when this "dreaded deposit" is paid, the movie loses its most precious thing. At the end of the film, unexpectedly plunged into a deep abyss: the failure of the revolution (an alternative expression is a conspiracy) will always be massacres and purges, and at the end of "Assassination of Hitler", it is even more so. This tragic scene was magnified, bloody and terrifying, and with a shot back, Hitler, who only appeared a few times in the movie, was repainted with the heavy makeup of the devil.
The heavy and depressing ending is also to create a group of immortal statues. Under the repressive regime of the Nazi regime, all "resistors" are ultimately just to prove that not all Germans are Hitler! In fact, this phrase is repeated three times throughout the film, and it can't wait to emphasize, "Look, I'm the subject, I'm the subject."
Tom Cruise may be wearing high heels, and he's not a big man. , the image in the movie is quite similar to the hero of Gao Daquan in our Cultural Revolution movie, with a high-spirited and inviolable face - such a deliberately "uplifting" method makes me inevitably compare it with "Empire's" Compared with "Destruction", it is also a film showing the death of the Nazis. The latter's humanistic expression method is refreshing. It even boldly describes Hitler in a humanized, calm and objective manner. It turns out that the mighty devil is in When he was dying, he was no different from the embattled overlord of Western Chu.
In 1985, Lingnan Fine Arts Publishing House published a painting book called "Assassination of Hitler". When you compare it with this movie, you will be surprised because the plot of the book is almost exactly the same as "Assassination of Hitler". Like it's a storyboard for a movie. And the way in which "Assassination of Hitler" draws the faces of the characters is also the true portrayal of the villain book of the distant era. To borrow the lines of "Chibi", "You are out of date!"
