The first was a doctor in the village who unfortunately fell while riding and was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
The baron in the village organized manpower to inspect the scene and found traces of tangled wires on the two trees next to where the doctor fell .
That is, someone deliberately tripped over the horse's leg with the wire, causing the doctor to fall and take the wire after the event.

Video Analysis
"White Ribbon" is a black-and-white film. I believe the director is not emphasizing black-and-white art, but using sharp black-and-white pictures to tell us that if white represents extreme purity, black represents extreme darkness.
Be prepared before watching this movie. It does not attract the audience by rapidly advancing the plot, but uses a lot of still shots to mobilize the audience's emotions through the performance of the actors. The process of watching the movie can't help but feel boring, but when you really immerse yourself in it, you will be attracted by this eloquent narrative.
The director does not seem to tell us the truth clearly at the end of the film, but when we look back through the stories and details of each family, we will find that the truth is so straightforward and simple, because no one is indifferent to the violence we suffer every day, when we When you touch the bottom line of others, you will naturally be resisted and challenged by others.
The doctor should be the meanest and most evil person in the film. He committed adultery with a neighbor woman, gave birth to a mentally retarded son, belittled his daughter, and in the end he spoke ill of his neighbor woman, crossed the river and demolished bridges, and his wife's death was mostly related to him. , so this kind of person who is inferior to the beast was punished by the only "direct" punishment in the film.
As a missionary, the pastor has a big problem with his own education. He will not let the whole family eat after the child makes a mistake, and treat his child with corporal punishment and beating. The most impressive thing is that after he found out that the child was masturbating, he even tied his hands while he was sleeping. This kind of education will naturally lead to challenges and resistance. When the bird he raised was killed by scissors and placed on the table in the shape of a cross, he already realized that he had failed . had to compromise with them.
There are not many roles for the housekeeper, but the few appearances show what he is like. At the festival, he was rejected when he seduced 17-year-old Eva with a provocative tone. After learning that his son took Sickey's flute, the violence he showed is even more unforgettable. It is worth mentioning that the son played the flute after he went downstairs, which is to challenge him, as if to tell him, "Well, I just took it, or at least hit me as usual. pause?"
Every family environment in the film is unhealthy, the parents' education is a failure, and the father's position in the family is emphasized by the director. In those days, fathers were the rulers of the family , they were the gods of their own family, they could control everything in the family, and they were all too self-centered.
To borrow a phrase from the Baroness, "This village is full of resentment, jealousy, indifference and violence, so I don't want to stay here." She cares most about whether the child Sitch can grow up healthily, while the Baron cares, " Did you go to bed?"
The director's original intention should be to describe the big from the small and the country from the family . If those in power are too self-centered, it will definitely lead to a series of challenges and struggles. What we need to know is that the end of this story is the outbreak of World War I.
Taking the small to describe the big and the family to the country, if those in power are blindly self-centered and use extreme violence against others, then a series of resistance and challenges will inevitably be triggered, that is, war.
