Produced by Netflix, there are no surprises in a good film, let’s talk about the content (with spoilers). After watching the cooked meat at station b (I don’t know why there is an episode missing), I almost confirm that this Ford retired worker is the guard of the concentration camp (purely personal opinion), but the idea at the end of the film is placed at the proper height: first of all , In front of the law, I only respect the German court's attitude that human nature is too fluid, too subjective, and written in black and white.
But what is the point of a Nazi trial that lasted nearly half his life?
How much qualitative difference is there between an ordinary Ford employee and an ordinary guard during the Nazi era? It's just the mainstream value orientation of the times, which makes me wonder, can the problems of the system be blamed on the parts? I'm sorry, in the face of history, are both justice and evil an existential necessity?
Ivan was undoubtedly deified by an American spirit, as if he could break free from the system he was in? ——Those heroes who are lonely and seek defeat in literary works? It's more of the obscenity of future generations! It sounds more and more like a defense of the evil of banality.
First, I will draw a simple picture of Ivan: he is too timid and shy to be numb to other lives, but this value is reflected in the fact that after immigrating to the United States in peacetime, he did not hesitate to betray his former lawyer, just to obey his family s arrangement. He is extremely dependent on his family, I believe.
I just want to say that there are as many perpetrators as there are victims, and the identity of giving and receiving is constantly changing. Is Ivan's story because he has no "self" under collectivism? It seems that people can't help but entangle themselves with themselves throughout their lives. People go back and forth, but it is fate that makes each of us so narcissistic no matter what.
Those who do not continue to do evil and carry evil are also victims. To a certain extent, I mostly sympathize with Ivan. For every story of a villain, when my teeth are itching with anger, I always think: They are taking the blame for all mankind, and we should bear the burden of history. ,Forward.
