This movie still has some influence on me, and it has two thinking directions. First of all, I discovered that Hitler became a sinner of the ages only because of defeat. If he wins, will he become the next Alexander. An empire will occupy Europe and rule Europe in one or two sessions. The Mongol Empire can reach Europe. It seems that Hitler may become the next leader of the empire. The so-called massacre of foreign races is not uncommon in history. The key problem is that World War II is too close to us. From a historical perspective, Hitler was an emperor with ambitious goals and wanted to change the world with the German spirit. But it failed.
Another thinking is about death. The movie uses a large number of scenes to describe the homicide and suicide of various characters, which is very shocking. Because death is the thing that mankind least likes and wants to face. But in this film, death is from beginning to end. The failure of the empire is also the death process of the loser. Why are they dying? What do they think of the pressure of death and survival. In the extreme environment of war, how do humans perceive and deal with death. Hitler's death, the children were poisoned by their mother, and the husband and wife shot each other. There are also painless and quick discussions about how to die. I think this movie is actually the director's thinking about human death, but it is presented in such an extreme background, which is indeed very shocking and very in-depth.
