Movie reviews are actually more useless things: abandoning the interactive understanding of film and television texts and audiences , film and television reviews are often reduced to nothing but the itch. Therefore, the attitude of "only recommending, not commenting" is what I take. After all, film appreciation is something that needs to be experienced in person. However, I watched the German film "Hope and Resistance" a few days ago, and there were a few gossips about the Nazi judicial system.
The synopsis of the film is the story of the arrest, interrogation, trial, and final execution of three people including Sophie Scholl, a 21-year-old German young woman, for printing anti-government leaflets. The film is as rigorous and dull as the German character, and most of the scenes are indoor conversations - but it is different from the warm nonsense of Korean dramas, and it is also different from Rohmer's lazy atmosphere. The tension between the revolutionary beliefs of both sides is reflected in the context of the trial and trial. What is the "revolutionary belief of both sides"? We really cannot regard this incident as a tragic story of "German Zhang Zhixin" who "dedicated himself to the truth" under the historical mindset of "winners, kings, losers and thieves" today, because both sides of the opposition have their "firm revolutionary positions" Just like the glorious Roman warriors who slaughtered the believers who turned to the Lord, and like the reaction of the revolutionary party in the Qing court when the "party state" was first established: history is always the history written by the victors, and it is a continuous movement of new gods to castrate the father gods.
So, behind the stern words of the secret police at the trial and the chief judge at the trial, they were not bluffing, but had a firm revolutionary belief in their hearts. Just as the Nazi "party state" was no less than a "great revolution" compared to the Prussian "kingdom" (as is the case in modern Chinese history), the truth of behavior seems to be preserved in this "letter". In "faith", everything is legalized and unified. In every secular sacred polity that integrates state and religion, "faith" is always brought to the table with a high profile. However, "confidence" and "blind obedience" are nothing more than "intimacy" comrades-in-arms”, the helpless masses look up to their Father God, millions of fanatics march on the road of Fromm’s so-called “escape from freedom”, thousands of arms raised in the memory of history (of course they can also take this book in their hands) "Red Treasure Book", thus adding "Chinese elements"), there is no need for personal outdated thinking, God the Father has already arranged everything for you, He is "great, glorious and correct", and is the incarnation of the ultimate truth. In fact, the official ideology of the state-religious regime enjoys the same psychological and logical structure as Christianity (Nazi Germany's "most authoritative propaganda film" "The Triumph of the Will" is called "The Story of the Advent of Christ"). Political cadres in the DPRK retire or have nothing to do (the crowd psychology under the logic of the word "bei" has lost its "initiative", just to complete the "task assigned by the party", rather than the individual mission of self-identification), some of them "believe and believe". Return to the Lord", read the scriptures, sing hymns, and enjoy it. This situation is not an accident!
Totalitarianism also reflects totalitarianism in court proceedings: a super-strong inquisitorial trial model. In this trial mode, the presiding judge integrates the accuser or the prosecution and the adjudicator, and since he is the prosecution himself, the position of the defender can be dispensable, and both the prosecution and the defense are reduced to silent courtroom judges. Scarecrow, what awaits the accused can only be a "just trial". Before the trial, the judge who walked into the court with a swastika on his chest led everyone in the court to perform the Nazi salute. This was no accident in the legal profession at the time of the German state church movement. In a democratic system, court trials should be "defensive" rather than "inquisitorial". It seems that the situation of "being both an athlete and a referee" can be described as a common problem in an omnipotent state (totalitarian state).
The execution scene at the end of the film shows the torture device: the guillotine, an efficient killing tool invented during the French Revolution, and the outstanding application of mechanical physics in the legal field in the era of science supremacy. Humanism". Different from the British film "The Last Hangman", which showed that hanging requires the executioner's experience and skills (hanging is therefore professionalized, becoming the hangman's patent, and becoming a "technical activity" that does not involve the executioner's psychology), in the knife In the sound of mechanical numb gears, the heads of the executed people will be mixed into the iron buckets preset in front of the guillotine.
