An extremely moving movie, "The Hidden Life" fully reflects the value of a person's beliefs and beliefs, and how powerful the power it brings. The story focuses on Franz Jgersttter, a farmer who was arrested for not obeying Hitler in the Austrian Alps annexed by Germany during World War II in 1943. The hours-long film delves into the value of truth that he firmly believes in and will never yield to. What's special about "The Hidden Life" "The Hidden Life" cuts into the ordinary life of him, his wife and three daughters, and makes use of the magnificent scenery of the Alps. And use this to compare him with his subsequent imprisonment as a traitor, and thus affect his family's experiences. Among them, he has to struggle with his own beliefs or the dilemma of his family's situation, and the husband and wife trust each other's feelings 100%. The thousands of words that the husband and wife want to convey to each other in the process of prayer or letter exchange are fully presented through a montage of the living conditions of the family separated from the two places. After reading "The Hidden Life", I can't help but feel awe at how a person can have such high requirements for morality and always insist on doing the right thing. The sentence: "I would rather others persecute me than I do not persecute others." Tai Rang People are shocked. Although the film reminds me many times of Liam Neeson in "Silence" as a priest who puts his faith in his heart, it's just that Franz is more steadfast and greater than him. I like the atmosphere of the whole film. To fight against the Nazis, but to find his own answers in his faith, it is not unreasonable that he will be called a martyr by later generations.

  • Lorenz Schwaninger: [Talking to his daughter Fani, who is also Franz Jägerstätter's wife, about Franz's imprisonment and the resultant mistreatment that the family is facing] Better to suffer injustice than to do it.

  • Closing Title Card: ...the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. -George Eliot
