"Night and Fog" is a narration of a historical theme. When the history and the present of time-space transformation are presented in front of us at the same time, we need to tell it. Direct films call for simple, objective, and rough presentations, but documentaries are a diverse art. We need viewpoints, standpoints, and a free balance between viewpoints and standpoints. For some subjects, it is also the responsibility of documentaries to present undisputed opinions. In other words, documentaries can record and reflect history, but they themselves will become history in the future. It is also right to use the medium of recording to reflect the thoughts and opinions of the "current" era. future records. Records can be real or abstract, can't they? Treating the subjective attitude of a documentary as the punishment of the original sin is a discussion that violates human nature. It is already an amazing art to observe the world from a different perspective than a feature film. "Night and Fog" is right, just like you like me, and you don't.

    The whole is an epic, with narration, video, and soundtrack perfectly integrated. This is not shouting or berating, but just a quiet remark, but it arouses a huge echo in the hearts of the viewers. When you close your eyes, it will continue for a long time.

Night and Fog quotes

  • Récitant/Narrator: With our sincere gaze we survey these ruins, as if the old monster lay crushed forever beneath the rubble. We pretend to take up hope again as the image recedes into the past, as if we were cured once and for all of the scourge of the camps. We pretend it happened all at once, at a given time and place. We turn a blind eye to what surrounds us and a deaf ear to humanity's never-ending cry.

  • Récitant/Narrator: 1933 - The machine gets under way. The nation must all sing the same song, with no wrong notes.
