    I don't know what other language can I use to express the feeling of watching this movie. How can the pain in my heart and the hatred and torture of a lifetime be resolved in an instant? How can the crimes of an era be borne by one person, how can the pain of a race be borne by one person, the law is ultimately above the moral, but the moral can smooth the ultimate contradiction.

    The heroine is very special, she is not an emotional type, my speculation is to understand her. Reading aloud does a better job of adapting a person's way of thinking in words or literacy than eavesdropping. The eavesdropping is a direct appreciation of beauty and truth from the music and Brecht, and the reader is a step-by-step process that she did not anticipate at first, but the seeds are there. She is like someone who just learned the truth, atonement for the ignorance of the past. The meaning of words and words is highlighted in the process
