It's got to be more than talk.

The title is the deepest scene after watching the whole film. After the heroine and the Jewish male partner communicated in the restaurant, the heroine was enlightened. A good story is not necessarily a good movie. In the two or three years after the end of World War II, against anti-Semitism's idea of ​​advocating freedom and equality for all, reporters chose to pretend to be Jews to experience the novel theme of life, but people felt that the first half was procrastination and there were many unrelated plots. In the last thirty minutes, conflicts broke out. The heroine had an epiphany and the last two people kissed and ended - only a black question mark can be given to this ending. I really don't know much about the movie, but this movie is a kind of unfinished story, and there are still many deeper places to dig. After deeper and sharper, I don't know if Parker's sculptural face is the same or not. this film.

"It's got to be more than talk." This is the origin of the conflict between the male and female protagonists, and silence is an accomplice. It turns out that the Keep silence taught since childhood not only makes Lu Xun angry with us, this is a common problem in ancient and modern China and abroad. It should only get worse now. This film refers to anti-Semitism, which is not so prominent in today's society. What about racial discrimination, regional discrimination, and even discrimination against AIDS or homosexuality. The cool side of human nature, the argument that people who are not my race will have different hearts, and the behavior of discrimination has continued, and Hitler is not the last Hitler. We don't need to pretend to experience it like in the film. After all, reporters are not our jobs. Just imagine it. When we imagine that this person is our good friend and our family, we can still be silent. "It's not the suffering that's outrageous, it's that there's no reason to suffer." Sodagreen's lyrics are amazing. Imagine this, or encounter such a situation in the future, we will have the courage to stand up, stand up and argue or at least turn around and leave. At least we will do something rather than keep silence.

Another point I noticed in this film is this line. The subtitles of station b are really scum. "A man wants his wife to be not just a cohabitant, or a girl he likes, or a mother of a child, but a good friend who can empathize with the raging waves, otherwise they will not be able to move forward together." In fact, women too, What is needed is not just a safe haven or a machine to make money, but people who can move forward through ups and downs and attract like-minded people.
