Saul: I must save my son!
1. The biggest impression after watching it is that the male protagonist = the squirrel in "Ice Age", which is completely a mental masochism, and has little to do with the Nazi concentration camps. Type mental patients, they are often the objects of our ridicule, and this film hopes that the audience will have pity and sympathy, the concubines can't do it! The movie doesn't tell the background of the male protagonist at all. I don't know how he was caught, and I don't know if the Nazis turned him into an idiot or he was an idiot in the first place. And in the whole film, I don't think there is a single person who acted like the physical and mental state of the concentration camp. The damned people are all dead. This group of people is alive and well. At the beginning, they said they were waiting to die, but in fact they were waiting at the end. Not too late to die.
2. The main characters are all dead, so the story is fictional. Because it is fictitious, the plot is too fake, and the shots are very fake. I only dare to give a close-up of the face, and the male protagonist's face has only a zombie face + the zombie smile in the last shot. The ins and outs of the shots are so boring, the close-ups of the faces and the blurred backgrounds are like a fig leaf to hide the most unreal parts and flaws of the film. While laughing at this expressionless masochistic idiot, I complained again and again that this is more exaggerated than Japanese movies, and there is basically no dew point. For me, there is no dew point, so it is not real enough.
3. There are too many close-ups of the face, and the facial expressions of the characters are not ups and downs. From the beginning to the end, there is a zombie face that has been exploding. It looks more like an expression of inferiority and shame. Hope, not numbness, no excruciating pain, no despair, no feelings for others, but still watching his son die. When normal men are helpless, they may turn their heads to cover their faces or try to divert German officers away. His son doesn't seem to be his real son. He has been in prison for four months, but his son has just been in prison. His cellmates slapped him twice. Don't other people have families and children? It was as if he had "father love".
4. The protagonist of neurosis has repeatedly injured innocent people but was entrusted with important tasks. Where has the IQ of other people gone? In the scene of going to trade with the female worker, there was no explanation at all. It was not clear what the thing was and where it came from. To trade under the nose of the German soldier, someone had to throw the plate to divert their attention. Not as good as a dog, took something and turned away. In the end, everyone's reaction was too easy when the thing was lost, and I didn't say to put some pressure on him, which made me think that thing was not very important.
5. This group of Jews in the contingent seems to have good food. After four months in prison, they still have flesh on their faces, and they choose actors not to be thin. The frequency and force of mopping the floor is so fast that I think they must have just had a full meal, and they are still showing it to their own heads. It is necessary to work so hard, but you are using too much force.
6. The concentration camps are all their own people. It doesn't matter if they work or not, but they have to hold their throats and speak softly. All of them are seriously ill. I've never been able to tell where to speak normally and where to whisper, except that the group yelled when it was German officers.
7. This story has no sense of time. I don't know how long it has been. The male protagonist has never slept, and I haven't seen what he has eaten for a few meals. I haven't seen how rare he is when cleaning the table. I also really want to know if he is a virgin or not, if he has a girlfriend or wife before, and if he has sex at night.
8. There are too many loopholes in the final conflict and escape. The German army who escaped the gate did not make a few shots from behind. The taboo of a collective escape is to be caught in a nest. In the end, he gave up digging graves by himself, exposing the hypocritical nature of his greed for life and fear of death. Looking at the previous episodes, he thought he was so crazy that he was not afraid of death. It's not good to hide, but you have to hide in a wooden house, and no one is watching. How did the German soldier know that the blond kid just saw a Jew and he was yelling so he covered his mouth. How did the German army quickly and accurately detect the whereabouts of the fugitive without dogs and barking? The little blond boy just ran away at the end, so boring.
9. Some words in Hungarian are very similar to English pronunciation, which is quite interesting.
In the end, when I died, I was not moved, had no pity or sympathy, and I just wanted to scold that this kind of idiot could have been fictionalized in a Nazi concentration camp.
