After watching this movie, I felt uncomfortable for a long time. Feeling uncomfortable, as if unable to accept the common dark past of mankind. At that time, what could people do, what could they say? Even if Warsaw has been liberated, even if this former empire is already crumbling, they are still forced to work here, work for the empire that persecuted themselves and endangered their loved ones, maintain his doomsday madness, even after the empire collapsed with a bang. Do your best to prove to the inmates in the concentration camp that you are also a Jew and a victim.
They made sterling that is fake enough to be real, which is true in history, and this batch of counterfeit banknotes has caused a lot of trouble in the UK. It is said that the only thing that could be identified at the time was that these counterfeit banknotes were more beautiful and more delicately printed than the real banknotes, probably due to the rigorous personality of the Germans.
And what these pounds gave them was a ping pong table. Also, those uneasy consciences.
Yes, it is good to be alive. But what if being alive causes more people to die? What if these dead people had their own wives and children? What if life is just like a corpse? Hearing those prisoners sigh, life here is so good that people choke their throats, it's just a slightly softer bed and a shower.
Separated by a wall, people are tortured to death every day. Even their best efforts could not save the life of a person suffering from tuberculosis.
Life is like hell every day, maybe worse than hell. How did they get here? Maybe it's just a simple wish for survival, if you can live, don't die. It's kind of weird what the last episode means. Dancing on the beach, I don't even know if the woman will give her true feelings. But after escaping, it probably doesn't matter.
A side sigh: the pound seemed so rudimentary at the time, but the dollar looked quite complicated.
