For a movie related to World War II, I don't know if the atmosphere in this movie is too relaxed, and there is a happy ending at the end, but it affects the viewing experience of the whole movie a bit. In fact, the whole film tells a very simple story. Kaiser Wilhelm II was forced into exile in the Netherlands. Because Hitler launched World War II and occupied the Netherlands, Captain Brandt was sent to protect and monitor Kaiser Wilhelm II, but During the mission, Brandt discovered that Mick, a British spy who was disguised as a maid and approached the Kaiser, was the woman with whom he had a dewy relationship before. war. What makes this film low-profile is why it depicts the love scene between the spy and the official so intensely, thinking that cutting off these pictures will not affect the direction of the plot at all. But in this movie, the purpose of the spy Mick is not clear. First, he approached the German officer. We can guess that it was for the purpose of setting news, but then he lurked around the German emperor. The olive branch is still to lurk around and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the head of the German SS. It felt like it was just for Mick to have an affair with Brandt, and then I found out that the leader of the German SS was coming, and then ran to contact the priest who was in charge of sending intelligence. He wanted to take the opportunity to kill the leader of the SS, and then the priest unfortunately exposed his own The position was captured, and then Mick began to run away, and when he was passing by, he ran to extend an olive branch to the Kaiser for Churchill. The plot feels so messy, it's hard to believe that there is such a story in history.
However, this movie is worth watching for the old man who played Kaiser Wilhelm II. Although I don't know Kaiser Wilhelm II, I think the old man played it well, especially in that suit. Military uniforms are really charming. I have to say that although Kaiser Wilhelm II was the last emperor of Germany, he lived much more comfortably than Emperor Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty in my country.
In fact, in connection with the name of the film and some key lines, the film mainly wants to express a theme, although the German army officers, during World War II, there were many belligerent fighters, and even the SS such as the annihilated Tianliang However, there are still some people who can stick to their principles of being human, show their conscience, have their own beliefs, and do some good things silently on the premise of not betraying the country. I don't know if this is the wishful thinking of the director or the screenwriter, but I still believe that there are not so many perverted existences like the head of the SS in this world, who decide the life and death of many people in a flash. Any war will inevitably bring harm to the people at the bottom, no exceptions! I have to say the same sentence, "It's hard to prosper the people, and it's hard to kill the people." The ancients did not deceive me!
