i'm just an actor

Mephisto

I saw this movie when I was young, but I can't remember 1982 or 1983. I only remember that the movies that were staged on the front and rear legs at that time included the domestically produced and the Austrian .

It's not because I have artistic skills since I was a child. At that time, just after China's reform and opening up, watching foreign movies became a trend. However, the foreign movies imported at that time were not commercial blockbusters. Because the way of importing was based on cultural exchanges between countries There is no need to pay royalties, so the imported films are all artistic films with a relatively high artistic level, and commercial films with a relatively high style.

I watched this movie at the Dongsi Star Cinema in Beijing. It was an evening show, and it was a coke. There was no class that afternoon. The school organized to watch the North Korean movie "The Hero Who Can't Be Honored". I remember there was a scene in it, a little girl was affectionate The uncle of the investigator who came to her house and was having dinner said: "Uncle, I want to sing one of my favorite songs for you, "The Song of General Kim Il Sung", and then the little girl put her hands on her chest and said yes. Singing high in the distance, the little girl sang a thick and mad alto. At that time, the movie was so happy, the teacher couldn't control it.

After watching the film organized by the school, it was only after three o'clock. I went home and changed trains in Dongsi. I happened to pass by the Star Cinema, and watched the movie "Morphist" that was about to start. At that time, the French movie "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" was not released soon. .I thought this was also an anti-Nazi war movie, so I paid 50 cents to go in. Forgive me, but I was too young, less than ten years old. I didn't understand it from the beginning to the end. It's boring, I just feel that the level of the voice actors is too high (forgot whether it was a long film or a translation). The whole movie only remembers the scene of the male protagonist making out with a woman, and the ending.

One night before the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the hero was brought to the Berlin Olympic Stadium by Nazi officers. The officer asked him to walk to the center of the stadium, and then the lights were lit everywhere, shining on the hero from all directions. The Nazi officers shouted excitedly. :"what do you think?"

The male protagonist leaned on his side and blocked the dazzling light with his hands. The expression on his face was stiff, trying to hide the fear in his heart. He muttered to himself: "What do you want me to do? I'm just an actor."

The film finally freezes here. This film is when I watch it when I grow up, and I really understand something. My feeling, the last paragraph of the film, is the one I quoted "What the hell do you want me to do? I'm just an actor." ", is the true meaning of this film.

All manifestations, under dictatorship and centralized control, are a tool, both people and things.
