Why was the ending so abrupt, the white tiger just disappeared, and no one investigated or explained. Why did he suddenly start chattering about the signing of the surrender, and then Hitler didn't die as he did in the historical facts. During an interview, he thought there would be a follow-up plot, but after he finished speaking, the movie was over.
But what's wrong is the point.
Let's review what Hitler said at the end of the credits.
Our nation is too old and too outstanding. A lot of people just keep what we think of you in their hearts. We were defeated, I know that. Not only was the war defeated, but the whole of Europe fell. Still, can you imagine what will happen tomorrow?
All the sins and killings were blamed on tragic Germany, and the German people had to bear all the charges. I want to write a million books. Of course, you can also create thousands of ugly documents and fabricate those so-called historical memories. And my Germany and I will have to be seen before the world as the source of human evil, like arsonists going to hell.
We have only just plucked up the courage to think about the Europe of our dreams. We often say, "Once you think about it, you do it." Like surgery, it hurts at first, but then the body is healthier. Are we not fulfilling that secret dream in the heart of every European? Isn't that why we have achieved those victories?
We know the things they fear, like their wives. It's just that we express it more clearly and directly, such as building a strong and united country. I've always loved the Jews, and my whole life I've been in that dark, obscure Eastern power from a giant that's no longer part of Europe - Russia.
So I said, "Let me solve these two problems." Do we need to invent something new to get rid of them once and for all? No. We simply made them aware of who was their real threat, and that was enough.
Because the earth revolves around the sun, so there is hot, cold, stormy sunlight. There will be a long struggle between the people-states. For those peoples who have lived in paradise from beginning to end, they are long overdue to be eliminated. Humanity has developed to this day, thanks to war. War could not be more natural and normal. War is everywhere and will always be. It has no beginning and no end. Life is a war, and all things originate from it.
This is not what Hitler said, Hitler died on the eve of the war; this is not what Hitler wanted to say, Hitler was an arsonist, this is what the film director wanted Hitler to say, this is what the filmmakers wanted to tell you about a Europe: This Europe looks at the world arrogantly, and its ambition for hegemony will never end; this Europe looks at Russia timidly, and will destroy Russia if it gains power; this Europe is hypocritical and cunning, when the Nazis rise, they help the tyrants, and when the Nazis die, they break away. net guilt. So we see, in this movie, the German marshal is picky about wine, a noble and refined style, and is stupidly overwhelmed with an ice cream. This is not the style of the Nazis, nor is it typical of Nazi Germany. This is the Junkers aristocracy, this is also a British aristocrat, a French manor, an Italian prince, this is the insidious, cunning, old-fashioned, arrogant, arrogant and full of fat in the eyes of the Russians. Europe!
People in every country put themselves at the center to understand the world. For example, Chinese people can clearly distinguish the differences between the nationalities of foreign powers, but they do not know much about the differences between Britain and France, because the pace and methods of the bullying of the powers are different, but these two countries often go hand in hand. In one piece - we know the world in the beating. Another example is that when mainlanders look at Taiwan, they don’t see blue and green, they only see reunification and independence.
The Russians look at Europe the same way. He doesn't care about the grievances of the Hundred Years' War and the Thirty Years' War, the Franco-Prussian War, Lorraine, and Alsace. What he remembers is that whenever there is a big movement in Europe, they will come to form a group to bully him: the Napoleonic Wars have fought back and forth, and Europe has become unified and advanced, and in the end it has become Europe formed a group to bully me; the Crimean War I fought with the Ottomans was 108,000 miles away from you, and Europe still came to form a group to bully me; after World War I, we changed dynasties and no one would provoke you to come to my homeland to form a group to bully me. Before World War II The big Western European powers have formed a group to bully me, and they have allowed Germany to grow and lead a group of most of Europe to bully me. So, what is the worldview of World War II in this movie? Is the great Soviet people anti-fascist? Then Stalin was no better, who cares. Was the great Soviet Union victorious over the evil Third Reich? The White Tiger would be blown up and Hitler would be hanged, but it didn't. The world view of this film is that Europe has always wanted to bully Russia, has been bullying Russia, Europeanism will not die, and the Russian nation has reached the most dangerous time.
Besides, all history is contemporary history, and all historical literature and art are realist literature and art. In the era of the European Union, EU countries would never exaggerate ethnic hatred in filming the war, and after the war, Japan would not dare to exaggerate the deep blood feud between the United States and Japan. And this Russian film, with such a gloomy interpretation of history, is definitely not free to watch the Three Kingdoms shed tears, but is deeply influenced by real politics. After World War II, Russia and Europe are still at odds with each other today. Immediately after the end of World War II, when the anti-Soviet will of the United States was not resolute, it was the Europeans who shouted that the Iron Curtain had been pulled down and turned the entire Western world's spear against the Soviet Union. After the Cold War, there is no need to say what the western half of Europe's attitude towards the Soviet Union was, and the Eastern European countries did not cooperate. In this way, the era of the Soviet Union has passed in the midst of deep fear and first in Europe. Russia will not forget how resolute the three Baltic countries were when they broke away from the Soviet Union; Russia will not forget how Poland, which was controlled by the Soviet Union, embraced the West; Russia will not forget how those small Eastern European countries escaped even at the risk of national turmoil and division. The Soviet Union still has no turning back in its embrace of Europe; Russia will not forget what kind of humiliation it received when Russia reluctantly washed away the arrogant pride of the Soviet Union and its own system and sincerely tried to integrate into the West - NATO is still there, the WTO is still locked , not to mention the European Union - "Hey, it turns out that all they want is to bring down Russia"; and Russia will not forget how they managed to get ahead after the disillusionment of integrating into the West in these years of the new century - The eastward expansion of the European Union, the eastward expansion of NATO, the deployment of missile defense systems in Eastern Europe, the revolt in Georgia, the civil war in Ukraine... Such a Europe, it is difficult for Russia not to paint a ghost in its mind. Against Russia's comparative advantage, the specter will appear, igniting vicious artillery fire on Russian soil.
Apparently the specter of a European threat to Russia is nothing but an imaginary from the Russian nationalist standpoint in the film.
Europe has never been monolithic. Historically, the war between other European countries was no less than that with Russia. It's just that "not my race, its heart must be different", things will have a different taste when they come to Russia. In fact, since the Great Schism between the Eastern and Western churches in the 11th century, the cultural foundation of this estrangement has been laid. Europe is divided into the Eastern Byzantine cultural circle and the Western Latin cultural circle. Although these two cultural circles belong to Europe and the Christian world, they are very close to each other in terms of religious beliefs, cultural traditions, production methods and social systems. Difficult to recognize. With the fall of the Byzantine Empire, Russia became the only remaining great power in the Byzantine cultural circle, so Russia was naturally isolated from Europe. From Russia's point of view, how the Western countries fight, it is their internal struggle for power and profit, and they will not fight to the death, but once they join forces to face Russia, it will inevitably bring religious war-style cruelty.
It is true that Russia and Europe have a natural estrangement, and it is true that the environment in Russia has always been harsh and sinister. However, in 2012, before the Ukrainian civil war broke out, the film’s thinking was still quite neurotic, which of course has its own reasons for Russia. Because it is closer to the grasslands and Asia, it is threatened by different types of civilization all the year round, the living environment is extremely complex, and it is very difficult to survive, so it is more vigilant and violent, and because of the geographical continentality, the state machine is also relatively sturdy and domineering. This is one of the reasons why the Russians are often referred to as a "fighting nation" - a nation that feels the threat of war at all times and is always ready to fight and fight to the death for survival. Looking back at the last words Hitler said at the end of the film, which I copied earlier, at first glance, it was a fascist Nazi theory, but upon closer inspection, I found that there was less rationality in theory and more romance in attitude - this is purely borrowed from Hitler The mouth is talking about the fighting nation's own concept of war! Today's Russia has reached the trough of its national fortune, transplanted Western-style democracy, and created a Chrisma-style leader. Such a Russia, whether it is external or internal, is stern and internal, and always has to put on a very nasty appearance to ensure military and political security, so such an extreme ideological film was taken out by Russia. The propaganda comes naturally: "Look, Europeans, we Russians have never slackened; look, Russians, ghosts are waiting, we must always be prepared." Unfortunately, Chinese audiences outside the event seem to rarely see it. It's really sad and ridiculous to have all kinds of samadhi.
Stones from other mountains can be attacked by mistake. I can't help but think of my home country. She is going uphill now, and naturally she doesn't have to be as stern as Russia. Yet our modern history is a mess, and our unresolved nemesis is not even a normal country. What if we push too hard and Japan overreacts? We must know that in the face of history, our propaganda is blindly not forgetting national humiliation, and when it comes to reality, it is empty national pride - the people are fed so blindly and stupidly, all day long clamoring for a humiliation of a war without any preparation, and Compared to the hysterical fighting nation, we have come to the opposite.
In addition, this film from another country has also deepened my understanding of history - ideology is always short-lived, and national feelings and cultural traditions are eternal. This is especially true in an era when ideology is in full swing and nationalism is in full swing. The center of gravity of the "People's Republic of China" has also fallen from the people through the Republic to China - you can rest on your hat!
