This film adapted from a true historical event is extremely terrifying. Two weeks before the end of World War II, a German deserter under the age of 20, wearing a captain's officer uniform he found, "upgraded" and tricked and recruited a group of deserters all the way. The frightened bird who escaped from the dead cultivated into a demon that was controlled by power and could not extricate himself.
Staggering through the slippery and greasy corpse pit is like a critical hell experience. Private Willie Herold was respected and needed from the beginning wearing a captain's uniform. He readily accepted this new identity, and it became more and more intense, unable to extricate himself, and finally it was difficult to ride a tiger. The background on the eve of Germany's defeat was that people were in a state of panic, and the people and the stragglers were in a state of panic. That's why this scheming boy was able to deceive the people around him in the name of the head of state, in order to "resist the growing defeatism and continue to fight for Germany." "Resolved to absolve himself.
Yes, human nature can't stand the test the most, and will eventually be swallowed up by the growing desire. If Willie Herold is the case, if he has power and is respected, he will unscrupulously want more and do not want to lose everything he has, and he will try his best to maintain it, whether it is killing innocent people or destroying conscience. And the group of deserters who followed him to do evil also helped Zhou because of their "sense of existence".
Everyone has a herd mentality. Going with the flow makes you look "no problem", but how ironic it is. Even if it's the wrong direction, but seeing everyone doing it, you don't want to be an outlier and get involved. Hitler's arrogance and radicalism caused the Nazis to swept the whole of Europe, and the poor acting skills of a small private soldier also set off a bloody storm in pre-war Germany. I have seen the movie "The Wave", 5 days, an experiment, unprincipled collectivism, annihilation of individuality, elimination of differences, exclusion of dissidents... Fascism also shudders from brewing to maturity to out of control.
The Easter eggs in the subtitles at the end of the movie definitely make people feel scared with their hair standing upright. You see, this group of rabble dressed in Nazi uniforms came to the streets of Berlin today, indiscriminately robbing and violating individual rights, and the modern people on the streets almost surrendered to this kind of situation and let them be mermaids. It's so scary! If the Nazis made a comeback, the world would fall into purgatory on earth again.
Come to think of it, the reflective attitude of the Germans towards the war is really admirable. Take history as a mirror and be vigilant. Always beware of history repeating itself.
