As for the content, we have no right to talk about it, any comment is blasphemy to the dead.
Visually, the film does give people a very big impact. The gray and cold tones and the small space are all depressing. The crazy actions of political prisoners and the brutal repression of the state apparatus made the audience suddenly wrapped up in such a whirlpool of history. Next, as the images continue to unfold, the audience gradually begins to understand the reasons for the conflict and the deep beliefs and grief behind the madness. At the end of the film, the protagonist has hallucinations of childhood due to hunger, which seems to bring a touch of beauty to the cruel tone of the film. However, behind this warmth, there is a greater desolation, which seems to attack the heart more than the violent scenes. In order to match the plot, the rhythm of the movie is also designed to be extremely distorted. Large sections of silence followed large sections of dialogue, making people's emotions constantly stretched out, obsessively and empathically experiencing the fate of the characters.
For the shaping of the characters, the film was a little confusing at the beginning. In order to introduce the main characters, a lot of foreshadowing was made, and many of the foreshadowings were futile. Makes the movie start to look messy due to lack of focus.
In any case, the mutilation of the human body will always give the audience a shock, and the director just rightly guides the audience's emotions to thinking about history. The recording method truly restores history, and I believe that people will have their own evaluations of it after reading it.
