(Instant feeling shorthand, not a film review)
"The Labyrinth of Silence": a very neatly shot German theme film, under the guise of political correctness, focusing on the pursuit of a single young man after the war, running two very Germanic lines - how a country reflects on its sins, a youth How to face the right and left hands of justice in one's own values. Reason and reason finally converge on "law". If Nuremberg is the trial of the victorious country against Germany, it is the proclamation of the initiation of the war and the sin of the leaders; then the significance of the trial in Frankfurt is that "war criminals are not only the one at the front of the line", and that "ordinary people hide in the country" The evil unleashed in the name of the machine" lies in "recognizing that it requires greater inner strength than correcting."
Halfway through, relying on the strength accumulated by the soundtrack and performance. The two groups of victims and prisoners, two quick cuts are very good. The 48-minute former, with the Hebrew music, brought tears to my eyes. But I prefer the latter: a dentist seeing a patient, a worker fixing a car under a car, more shocking than a powerful person leaving an office building.
After the rhythm accelerated in the second half, there were some contrived, and it was always about to collapse. There are too many "faces" that the director wants to show, and the focus shifts to the way the hero's heart collapses and rebuilds, which is obviously unbearable. Several supporting roles who play the role of life mentors are all extremely brilliant. As soon as the film catches up, the more unique warmth and retroness of the first half are instantly broken. "This country needs icing, not the truth" becomes red and special, and the charm is a little less.
"Should we follow another set of right and wrong in the war years?" The question runs through the whole play, and finally through the mouths of the two supporting characters, some deliberate preaching is completed - "What we do is not to judge who is a good person and who is a bad person" "Individuals can only do what they think is right at the moment, but victims should be heard by history."
I have seen many works of art reflecting on World War II, and the footholds of different countries and ethnic groups are not the same. The preciousness of "The Labyrinth of Silence" probably lies in its reflection on war and people's attitude towards the history of war, that is, the act of reflection itself.
Contrary to the movie. It was the Germans themselves who tried Auschwitz, and this layer alone can be used as a beacon, taking care of the national pride of the Germans, temporarily ignoring the country's sensitivity to the Nazis, and some still keep evasiveness and peace of mind Agree - you don't even need to be in Europe. In recent years, there have been many yellow Germans who have expressed their opinions. Perhaps the natural enthusiasm for war in human nature is difficult to erase.
