Roman Polanski's new film "I Accused" tells about a spy scandal in the French army a hundred years ago. The film language of the great director is still so deep and slow, there is no intense feeling, fast-paced montage, but It is quite appropriate to reflect the realistic atmosphere of that era. It can be seen that the French army at that time was not only outdated, but also stupid. The movie does not show how the front-line troops are, but the headquarters and some units below are loose and loose, and the efficiency of business is not high. They are strung together to create illusions and safeguard common interests, and the alliance formed is very solid. You can see the current political situation in France even further before the First World War. The anti-Semitic movement has begun. The ignorant and ignorant people are echoing with the corrupt and ignorant army. Justice cannot be heard. No matter how long the slogan of the country and the nation is shouted, the collective fall will be deeper. When a society has fallen to this point, it must fall apart, as the results of the two world wars that followed can prove it.
Foreign troops are also very particular about honor and integrity. A duel changed the situation, but it is also possible that senior military officials found a scapegoat and found someone to take the blame. Polanski's event films are particularly respectful of historical facts, and generally do not play in this regard. But from the movie, we can see the light and justice in the dark. Although the hero also dislikes Jews very much, what is valuable about him is that he understands that it is necessary to act according to his own conscience, whether from the perspective of an individual or a military country. The national system is also very important, otherwise the case will be judged behind closed doors, and the truth will never be exposed.
