It’s still the Auschwitz, the Auschwitz in Schindler’s List and Life is Beautiful. The Auschwitz I saw was the product of drama. And here it is real. Today, the vegetation here is lush, peaceful and serene, but there is still a smell that makes people involuntarily silenced. Aaron Resnais once filmed "Hiroshima Love", which still makes people feel poetic and beautiful when showing cruel themes such as war. Especially appreciate the narration text. The third party's tone is calm, but in fact, it is full of strong emotional tendencies under the literary rhetoric. All those who experienced concentration camp life were unable to give complete recollections. They may not even understand why that period happened. The street where they once lived is close at hand, but everyone is already in a hell where they cannot escape. Almost all were tortured into walking corpses because their appearance was so miserable that death seemed numbing and hopeless in Auschwitz. "The train that goes there, it won't come back."
Every picture is real. The hair on the floor is real, the black extends beyond the frame, and too much hair looks like the hair in our impression. The corpses piled up by the forklift are also real, although the skeletons without flesh and blood look very unfamiliar, and there is no trace of evidence that they were alive.
All the blood has dried and the tongue has been silent. Only Allen Resnais, those who reluctantly to repeatedly open the scars of history, are making the final cry.
