A must-see for senior officials and parents of the National Security Bureau

After watching this movie, the first thought that came to my mind was: Be wary of literary and artistic youths, and literary and artistic uncles can't be ignored! For the senior officials of the National Security Bureau, will the spine chill after watching this movie? They would never think that there is still such a potentially terrible loophole: the subordinates are too artistic!

Yes, this movie is about a literary and artistic uncle, how because he is too literary, from a rigorous, efficient, ruthless secret police leader, turned to his own enemy, risked the danger to save the enemy, and finally ruined his future and fell. The end of a lifetime of sending and receiving letters. He he he! When he was listening to the enemy to play the piano, he heard the inner cow full of faces! He he he! He actually sneaked into the enemy's house secretly to steal other people's poems to read!

Maybe this film can still be listed as a must-see for parents? Keep your children away from art! Otherwise, he is likely to be hot-headed and ruin his future or even die at a critical time. . .

Even me, a person who always advertises literature and art, is suspicious, is it too romantic? This kind of thing. . . Will it really happen? this is only. . Things like good wishes. .

The directors and ministers don't believe that this kind of thing will happen, and Minister Hampoo said to Dreman: You firmly believe that people will change, but no matter how you emphasize in your play, people will never change!

Well, let's see if the changes made by Uncle Art are reliable.

The change of Uncle Literary and Art is not groundless, he already has the basis for change. First, unlike the directors and ministers, he lives for his convictions. In essence, he and the Dremans are the same kind of people. From the very beginning, he showed an invisible opposition to the director's "Tao Different".

As a harsh and efficient secret police, his belief was once socialism. His ruthlessness is when facing the "enemies of socialism." He once said to the director: Someone must practice socialist equality. When the director asked him to stop monitoring the minister, I asked: Do you remember the oath of joining the party? The director replied: Where does the party come from without party members? What's wrong with empowering party members? At this time, Uncle Literature and Art's eyes showed that he had begun to be disappointed with the "party" represented by such party members.

People who exist as animals will not change, but those who live for faith will.

Ministers and directors are completely animalistic. They have no convictions at all. They are only for sex and power. If socialism allows them to obtain these, they will follow socialism; it is conceivable that if power and money are in the hands of other doctrines Here, they will follow other doctrines fluently. Weisler is different from them, he is a serious and simple man. He can be a teacher with peace of mind instead of chasing power like the director. He does not hesitate to monitor himself day and night, but he has nothing to ask for in life.

The second foundation: He has a keen sense of art. From Dreman’s plays, only he smelled the scent of "freedom" and immediately decided to monitor this person himself (because he only watched the entire play) Made this decision). And because of his artistic sensibility, he likes the performance of the heroine and pity her destiny as an excellent actress. Her fate of being insulted by power lit up his feelings and made him realize his loneliness-the scene of recruiting prostitutes was really sad.

It can be said that he "entered into the play" during the monitoring, and he became too deep into the play.

He was moved, and his faith in what he once believed was shaken. And the corporal who was only interested in pornographic scenes with him was able to defend his position-so, the high-level people should keep in mind that drunkards are far more worthy of cultivation than literary and artistic youths.


Okay, so far I think it's reliable, so what's left is this uncle who has been too deeply involved in the drama. Is it possible to really take the risk for his own enemy? I think this is a question that no "others" can affirm or deny, because it is a matter of life choices, and no one can make choices on behalf of others, because such a genuine choice is given to everyone by God. Man’s most precious individual freedom. Those who say: "It is impossible to do this" are the ones who will easily give up their most precious freedom.

Uncle Literary and Art did not give up, he bravely assumed this freedom.

I like the ending arrangement very much. Dreman did everything possible to find the whereabouts of HGW XX/7, but when he saw Wessler himself, he saw the price Wessler paid to save him, and he has been bearing it up to now. At this price, he chose to leave silently. Yeah, what can he do? Come forward and say "thank you"? How pale this gratitude should be, how can it be worthy of that kindness? As an artist, a more weighty gratitude should be an excellent work, a work called "Sonata for Good People", a good work can be dedicated to all good people, and should, can give birth to more Good people.

Who is a good person? A good person is a person whose soul is not dead yet, and will be moved by a truly good art, and may change; a good person is a person who chooses to stand on the side of life (Haruki Murakami says, hit a rock with a pebble, although a rock is hard, but an egg is life), a good person It is even those who have the courage to take up this choice with their own destiny. Are ministers free to speak? They are held hostage by animal instincts and selfish interests, unable to extricate themselves. Good people may not be able to gain beauty and high status, but good people can accept a poem and a song with such openness and comfort-they know they are worthy.

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: No. It's for me.

  • Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: An innocent prisoner will become more angry by the hour due to the injustice suffered. He will shout and rage. A guilty prisoner becomes more calm and quiet. Or he cries. He knows he's there for a reason. The best way to establish guilt or innocence is non-stop interrogation.
