The subject matter is a good piece of material, after all, nothing is more influential than something involving an entire nation. But I don't think story telling is done well (on the other hand, tiger king's narrative technique is really powerful). The overall feeling is very mediocre, and it does not show the conflict between the two sides for such a big event at that time. Seeing the survivors identified in court, emotional, when asked - "How did you get from Poland to Florida", replied "by train" The court was in an uproar, and another survivor was asked about being processed in a concentration camp The names of his two sons were silent, and the court was silent. In fact, I think this is a point that should be reserved in dramatic conflicts. Storytellers should do their best to make those of us who hear the story feel the contradictions and even suspicions in the hearts of people at that time. But I think the director can see from the portion he gave to both parties that the director actually has a tendency to "give an explanation to the survivors", so is this also contrary to the final verdict? "He died an innocent man" is really heartbreaking, no closure because it was "too long ago". And what the son said is also thought-provoking. In that case, Ivan is you, your friend, and possibly me. In fact, the biggest feeling of watching a movie is that under the huge torrent of history, we individuals are just gravel-like existences. World Peace!
