The film opens with the hero Willie Herold (a nineteen-year-old deserter) being chased and killed by a captain and his subordinates. , In addition to facing the danger of being arrested and executed by the stormtroopers at any time, it is also difficult to survive in this dying war-torn country without food and clothing. However, all this began to change when the male protagonist picked up a captain's uniform. At first, the male protagonist just put on this abandoned captain's uniform to resist the cold, but when he saw that he was wearing a brand-new uniform, The other veterans who fled began to respect him and longed to defect to him. After the first taste of the sweetness of power, the male protagonist's evil thoughts began to germinate. He began to command those deserters who fled from the frontline battlefield like him, and lied that he was under the command of the Supreme Leader to investigate the rear line area of the battlefield. So, relying on the fact that he will report this lie directly to the Supreme Head of State, in this totalitarian Nazi country, the male protagonist and those deserters who defected to him started a deformed massacre at the rear of the battlefield, committing all kinds of evil, self-proclaimed temporary military court against those who should have been in the war camp The soldiers who received a fair judicial military trial carried out massacres, all of which were the distortions of the male protagonist's mind caused by being swallowed up by the demons of power, and also satirized the trampling of judicial power by totalitarianism from the side.
As Montesquieu said, "power should be used to limit power"; the animal nature of human beings cannot be ignored. As an individual who needs to seek survival and development in a relatively harsh environment, I have always believed that human nature is self-interested. However, human beings have created their own societies, established various systems, nurtured diverse civilizations, and maintained human families, races, societies, and countries. Fully restrained and domesticated, so humans have become higher intelligent creatures. A bad system makes people worse, but a good system does not make people better, but restrains the bad and domesticates the bad. However, once the institutional framework is broken, the evils of human nature will run wild like wild horses.
