Brilliant details of the black book

PS: The plot introduction is really messed up.

"Take the gun away and kiss me," Alice looked at Muntz, the scene is so beautiful, absolutely beautiful. And nude scenes don't make people feel erotic, only aesthetic.

It is unexpected that the most heroic anti-fascist fighter turns out to be the biggest traitor and is greedy for money.

It's a good habit to write down everything. The doctor's notebook finally played a big role. The Germans printed 15 copies of everything, which also restored the facts.

There are many wonderful foreshadowings, such as the necklace that the heroine has been wearing on her body with family photos, and finally used to screw the coffin screw and suffocate the traitor. The necklace of the murdered Jewish wife happened to be the jewels that the traitor had stuffed out of the coffin in an attempt to bribe Alice. When Alice was typing with the prostitute, she saw the ring that the prostitute took off and learned that she got it from the German bad officer's safe. So it was reported to Meng later.

In the end, when Ai and the child's husband returned home, the farm sign showed that it was built with the money of the wartime victims. The far lens found that there were still many assembled people inside (the war is not over).

The hostess knew that she had to eat chocolate after the insulin injection was too low, so she just put chocolate supplies in the bag to save her life at a critical time. In the film, the airdrops obtained by the underground organization include a lot of chocolate. Ai was also invited to eat the chocolates from the arrest team when he sent stamps at Meng's house. (Looking at it, I didn't consciously take out two bites of chocolate).

There are some things I don't understand:

For example, in which safe is the jewelry hidden? Since the traitor has already decided to kill Alice, why should he be rescued from prison? That prostitute doesn't seem to have any scheming, but is also a spy of some kind? And after the liberation of the Netherlands, still found a true love boyfriend? How could Meng see that she was Jewish. How did the two women recognize each other at the beginning of the movie, and it was so coincidental that they were doing things for the Germans together at that time.

This movie has beauty, love, plot, suspense, and depth. It is worth reading it several times (the history is also supplemented, and there are many points that I don't understand).

    To be a good blockbuster, the premise is to have a solid and rigorous script, and the success of "Black Book" and "The Wind" has proved this. In fact, the story of "Black Book" is not so shocking, and in the final analysis, it is not out of the usual mode of melodrama.

    3.5; twists and turns, exciting, reversal of reversal, two and a half hours to watch (although the length is long enough, but the plot is still too fast), the heroine's perseverance, wit, loyalty, affection and righteousness are admirable; Abnormalities during the war can best expose the darkness of human nature. Survival and greed reveal the nobility and vulgarity of everyone. There is no absolute justice or injustice in the world, only the difference between self-interest and others.

Black Book quotes

  • Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: [SPOILER]

    [Hans Akkermans is locked in the coffin, as a punishment for his murderous treason, struggling to get out by kicking and screaming]

    Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: We should actually get up and open the coffin.

    Gerben Kuipers: Yeah. We should...

    [both Rachel and Gerben remain seated, gazing at the river]

    Gerben Kuipers: What should we do with all the money?

    Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: It doesn't belong to us.

    Gerben Kuipers: It doesn't belong to anybody.

    Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: To the dead...

    [the sound of Hans Akkermans's screams stops, meaning he is now dead. Gerben raises his finger]

    Gerben Kuipers: He's quiet. Finally.

    Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: It seemed forever.

  • General Käutner: Obersturmführer, open your safe.

    Günther Franken: Of course. Which files would you like to see?

    General Käutner: None. You're suspected of killing rich Jews. There's nothing wrong with that. But you've been looting the bodies and keeping the valuables for yourself. Failure to turn Jewish property over to the Reich is punishable by death. Open the safe.

    Günther Franken: As you wish, Obergruppenführer.
