Either be free or die, run away bravely

The last Chile-related movie I saw was adapted from the miracle of Chile’s absenteeism and rescue. The magnificent scenery and South American style in the film are impressive, and it can be said to be a good theme movie. This "The Colony of Dignity" is also a story that took place in Chile, but there are very few depictions of the country's characteristic symbols in the film. The streets, scenery, and people are all passing by, and the folk customs are almost non-existent. Under the cloud of the US-Soviet Cold War, Chile was boring and boring, and the coup d'état spread blood and fear. Under such circumstances, the existence of the “dignified colony” established by the former German Nazis who fled to Chile is very reasonable. The functions it carries: torture, imprisonment, and human experimentation are exactly what the fanatical dictator needs. The movie unfolds against this background, showing this dark history, with a rare tone but not gloomy. The protagonist's strong will to survive and the occasional sparkle of humanity seem like sunlight penetrating the clouds and the breeze blowing through the heart.

In the first half of the movie, Lena and Daniel's fancy show of grace is in love with pen and ink, which makes people feel a little tedious, but it also provides a reasonable basis for Lena to save her boyfriend and go deep into the tiger's den. The captain’s long and flowing hair is impressive. The few scenes in the cabin are humorous and slightly rebellious. The image of a group of stewardess surrounded by the eldest brother Nuan jumps on the paper. It is no wonder that he finally dared to ignore the flight permission and forcefully take off. The back and forth echo here makes a knowing smile.

The film begins when Daniel is captured and Lena arrives at Colonia, and enters the dangerous escape link. This period of escape was reckless and brave. In order to let her boyfriend know her existence, Lena did not hesitate to come to the men’s gathering to accept punishment; Daniel knew how to pretend to be stupid, but he ran away recklessly without even investigating the route; the first time she walked into the secret tunnel, she was shocked in anger. Machine; In the end, they have no choice. They are desperate towards a channel full of unknowns. They don't even know if outside the iron gate is leading to the outside world. There was no meticulous plan like a prison escape, and there was no second escape route to choose from. Although it was extremely thrilling, fortunately, he managed to escape in the end. If a person does one thing recklessly, then we call it brave. The rhythm of this period was great, the relaxation was moderate, and it was too nervous to see people. In the end, there was a Tehran-style chasing to the last second before takeoff.

The female housekeeper’s daughter is a tragic character in the film, a living being among a group of numb women. If she is found pregnant, under Colonia's brutal control, it is almost impossible to escape the fate of death. Faced with the choice of freedom or death, although she was afraid of hesitation, she finally chose to be brave. Standing outside the wall and looking back, she seemed to be able to feel her disbelief and passionate joy. Now I am sitting here to write this article, and the moment the spring gun hit her is still echoing in my mind, I can't help but feel sad and angry.

In addition, Emma had bright and rebellious eyes that were undisguised, and the bishop died of his arrogance and desire to conquer.

Finally, whether in the past or the present, dictatorships often have similar forms, with men fanatical, women numb, emphasizing class, and restricting desires. The collective worship and fanaticism were caught off guard, and it is still evident even today. In addition, when it comes to national interests and considerations, is the motherland still the people’s umbrella?
