This is a moment in history

Obsessed with literary films, but also in love with various World War II-themed works.

I have watched a lot of World War II movies. Although this one does not have the bloody, heavy and gunpowder scenes of the usual World War II themes, some are just the quiet and American pastoral life of Jewish descendants. But from this angle, I felt the impact of history from the memory fragments of the heroine through the memories of the heroine, and the memory and imagination based on the past World War II movies. Plunder, kill, separate, flee. We watched a lot of World War II films and saw various violations and plundering of human rights, property, and lives. We sympathized with, cherished, grieved, and regretted. On the contrary, we seldom think about the Jews, their descendants, and Nazis as the parties to this history. The descendants of the party and the Nazi party, what kind of pain they bear.

Last night, I reviewed "Schindler's List" with my boyfriend. After watching it for a while, my kind and sensitive boyfriend felt that it was too depressing to watch. I comforted him and said that baby is history, and we should face it, but fortunately we have The world we live in is no longer like this. Today's society respects human rights, opposes hegemonism, resists racial discrimination, and assists war victims. Such a history will never repeat itself.

At the end of the film, the heroine plucked up the courage to walk into the old house and spoke German to the guy at the front desk, which contrasted with her refusal to speak German at the front desk of the hotel and insisted on communicating in English, which was a very clever echo. It can be said that she has decided to accept history and face reality, and truly "let it go".

Finally, a tribute to all World War II victims and their families and descendants.
