I don't know how many movies I've seen about Eichmann and his trial, but this one has the most special angle, and I really like it.
Hannah Arendt is a philosopher, writer, German Jew who settled in the United States, Israel is not her homeland, and she also claims to have never loved the young country, despite the fact that it is populated by people of her own race.
She was given the opportunity to travel to Israel to sit in on Eichmann's trial and publish a "proposition essay". But when she was in the trial of the century, she was confused by two points: the trial was a bit like a Jewish national performance, a catharsis of collective emotions, or whether it was a trial of history or a trial of individuals. She further found that Eichmann was an ordinary person who did not know how to think, and did not have the characteristics of a "human demon". Naturally, there was an essential difference between "anti-human" and acting as a murder tool. At best, Eichmann could only be regarded as a Nazi machine. of a part.
So she published a book that did not conform to the "main theme", and since then people have betrayed their relatives and separated.
For a long time after that, she tried to use philosophical thinking to fight against the world, fight against the main theme, debate with the tide of justice, and defend herself. She won some understanding, but could not reverse the general direction, and was still regarded as rebellion by the main theme.
I think Hannah Arendt is admirable, she respects human nature and cares about the common destiny of human beings, her soul is not bound by signs, she crosses races and national borders, and writes a capital person.
What do you think? Come see this movie.
