The 4:3 screen ratio and black and white composition bring a heavy sense of history. In addition, in the first half, apart from a few performances, there is very little soundtrack, and it creates a cold and chilling atmosphere. Coupled with the restrained emotions on everyone's faces, the whole movie is very calm after watching, but it is very blocky. Heart.

The film revolves around a Jew whose parents were killed by Germans. He grew up in a monastery, and his wish from childhood to adulthood was to serve God. The dramatic tension of the whole story lies in the contradiction of the protagonist's identity, and this and the contradiction lead to Ai. Da had to abandon an identity.

The farmer who slaughtered the Ada family is also full of human contradictions. Their family has devout beliefs. The executioner who invaded other people's houses after hurting the Ada family is also such a person who will let the girl live because of compassion. Do the next evil feel uneasy. I said before that there are very few bgm in the first half. After the bones of the family were excavated, every painful scene was accompanied by the same bgm. Even before the aunt committed suicide, she turned on the gramophone and fell from the window with this music without hesitation.

The nun put down her hair to represent her first questioning of her faith. In the middle, I thought that her transformation after her aunt's suicide represented the inheritance of the pain and memory belonging to the Jewish people. However, at the end, she put on her nun's hat and walked back to the monastery with a calm expression on her face. . After experiencing the Jewish life for a day, I finally chose to return to my faith. Although I feel a little lost, the heroine's behavior is completely in line with her character in the movie. The pain is too heavy. It takes great courage to bear and forget. You can remember , but do not have to bear it.
