This movie is about working hard against discrimination against Jews. In order to write a good article, the male protagonist became a Jew for eight days, which made him angry and nervous, and passed this powerful negative emotion to his lover and children. . Becoming a soldier is righteous and noble. If others don't rush to the front line with you, they will be treated badly by you. Why? Fight against the bad atmosphere, yes, you are very kind, but in the process of fighting, you can't hold the negative things, and you become nervous and smoky. To be honest, you better stop doing it, and there are more worse situation. Such will be the martyrs of the short struggle.
