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

Professor Rohl: You have been skipping seminars.
Michael: I have a piece of information, concerning one of the defendants. Something they do not admitting.
Professor Rohl: What information? You don't need to tell me. It's perfectly clear you have a moral obligation to disclose it to the court.
Michael: It happens this information is favorable to the defendant. It can help her case. It may even affect the outcome, certainly the sentencing.
Professor Rohl: So?
Michael: There's a problem. The defendant herself is determined to keep this information secret.
Professor Rohl: What are her reasons?
Michael: Because she's ashamed.
Professor Rohl: Ashamed of what? Have you spoken to her?
Michael: Of course not.
Professor Rohl: Why "of course not"?
Michael: I can't. I can't do that. I can't talk to her.
Professor Rohl: What we feel isn't important. It's utterly unimportant. The only question is what we do. If people like you don't learn from what happened to people like me, then what the hell is the point of anything?
