Before the defeat of Germany, the incredible horror story that happened in the ten days of extreme chaos in the rear is simply that a small deserter pretended to be an officer and massacred hundreds of compatriots. It is said to be an adaptation of a real story. The film is very rich in connotation, directly pointing to the ugly human nature. The scary thing is that at the end of the film, this group of demons came to modern times, looted the streets, and no one resisted - these people have always been there, and the ordinary people still succumbed.
Another scary place is the military court's trial of him. He let the senior war madmen let him go by shouting two slogans. He has seen through these people who lead the war, know their ideas, and use them like Just do whatever you want...
The core points to power (it's been a bit floating recently, dare to think about power?). Whether it is an ancient emperor or an officer in the film, where did their power come from? Is it just that dragon robe or military uniform? Who gave them the power of life and death? I think it's the people who don't have power...they believe in God, so the church has power; they worship imperial power, so the emperor and his officials have power; they believe in various doctrines, so the revolutionaries have power. They need a leader to lead them to the light, so they put their heart and soul into it. That uniform, that seal, that position, is the token of power. But how can we judge that our power is in the hands of the right people?
In the beginning of the film, everyone in the restaurant is hostile to him, but when he hears that he can bring him all kinds of benefits, he gains the power of those people to return the military uniform. In order not to be counterattacked by this group of people, he killed a deserter who was stealing for the first time. The first time to gain power may be by courting and buying, but when he has the power to kill, he can obtain power by "not depriving it". To gather the second wave of deserters, what he gave them was to absolve them of their crimes... The power to get the prison was based on the demands of internal officials - the greater his power, the more power the other party could share... In the end , what he can give to others happens to be the other person's life.
Among them, some people are caught in the middle and want to use higher power to achieve their own goals. They try to decentralize power, hoping that one day they can have that kind of supreme power. Of course, some people do want to use power to do something. The good thing, at least for what they believe to be grand and lofty goals for the benefit of all mankind...they help cement one system of power or another.
Human society has come to dominate the earth today, relying on large-scale division of labor and cooperation, and relying on huge organizations and networks. If you want to operate normally, there is no power to lead, and the organization is afraid that it will not work. But how to restrain and regulate power so as not to let it get out of control? A reasonable regulatory system can be done, but it still cannot be cured. Maybe artificial intelligence, measured by pure algorithms and pure standards, can give the power to them.
