Only his death can let his father know that all this is a sin, not a sacrifice for the country. I hate the so-called fight for the country without thinking. Because when the country starts with indoctrination, there is no room for you to think, that is, the country ignores individual thoughts. If this country does not even give its own people the right to think, there is no justice.
There is one detail in the movie that really shocked me. At grandma's funeral, my mother saw the fascist sign on grandma's tombstone. She said that grandma would not like it and asked her husband to remove it. But the husband said "he does". The woman began to resist, but began to cry. I think women have realized that they will be treated like this at their future funerals. There is also an indictment of contempt for women's rights here. A woman always believes her husband's words at home, obeys her husband's words, and loses her own judgment. When a woman finally wakes up, she has no right to fight for the justice she thinks. In the influx of the times, it is easy to give up one's conscious rights, but it is so difficult to obtain and practice it.
The film tells about the change in the angle of anti-war themes, and it also gives us inspiration. Awakening from the consciousness of women, children, and old people to show the evil of war. I think Dad will finally understand what the war has brought him, and what his actions have created, but the price is too painful.
At one point I felt that Bruno and Summer lived in the same environment. Summer was physically tormented but still mentally awake, while Bruno was deceived and indoctrinated even though he had no worries about food and clothing. Both were also imprisoned.
No matter who wins or loses in war, it will only bring pain to both sides. If there is no pain, it is also the pain of unknowing.
After watching such a movie, I often reflect on whether I am living in such an era, but I have never thought of being sober, whether I am just surviving in this era and not asking for the truth. But such a self may invisibly harm others, as well as oneself.
Reflect on no matter what age, whether you have the right to abandon the coercion or not, at least keep yourself awake, and doing nothing is better than doing sin.
