It's a 2021 film, borrowing from a murder in 2001, about how 1968's law and politics allowed 1944's criminals to go free for 57 years.
Film is the art of expression, and this film is yet another re-enactment of Germany's history of World War II and beyond.
There is no doubt that the Nuremberg trials were more thorough than the Tokyo trials, but that was for high-ranking war criminals.
For war criminals who are no longer in important positions, an age has arrived.
With the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War, new contradictions replaced the old ones. Communism replaced fascism and became the number one enemy of the free world. In 1968, the United States was already mired in Vietnam, and domestic anti-wars were rampant. The Chinese Cultural Revolution promoted the international left-wing ideology. This At that time, the Federal Republic of Germany served as a bridgehead for the confrontation between the two camps in the Cold War. Fascism had already changed from an enemy 20 years ago to a united front of the free world, and a large number of not-so-famous Nazis were forgiven.
This is also the general background of the era and politics that the old lawyer lawyer in the film said, and the introduction of the 1968 Act.
While the film says that the guerrillas in 1944 killed two Germans, what the film does not explicitly say is that these were partisans of the Italian Communist Party. The attack was the German army in the German occupation zone in northern Italy. At this time, the Allies had already logged in Italy. Mussolini fell from power in 1943, was rescued by Hitler and became a puppet in the German occupation zone in northern Italy.
The communist guerrillas (Italy or China) kill two devils, then the devils (Germany or Japan) will sweep the guerrillas' area, kill innocent or innocent villagers, and then the children witness the killing of their relatives. The plot of this little soldier Zhang Ga is no different.
But China's Gazi became a small Communist Party to fight the devil directly and pay you quickly. The Italian children have become heroic assassins who have endured for decades.
What's more interesting is that, like Xiaobing Zhang Ga, he has the role of a translator.
However, this traitorous translator was quickly rectified by the Communist Party after the liberation of northern Italy (with a high probability), but the German officers who ordered it were not held accountable in the hands of the United States, Britain and France. This aspect reflects the Communist Party's renunciation of fascism and the compromise of the West to fascism. Of course, on the other hand, the mainstream in Germany and the world today is so-called liberalism, so the translator in the film is not like the fat translator who was vilified by Zhang Gali, but it is to highlight its human nature and to show the ruthlessness of the Communist Party. And terrifying, annihilating humanity.
And the handsome Nazi murderers in the movie (I don’t know when the German Nazi murderers in the movie have become very handsome) have not received any notarized trials, they can still be social elites, they can also restore their humanity, and show their respect for the minority. Ethnic concerns. Is this reflection with a filter?
German officers are so handsome and well-bred, and know how to protect children, but they kill innocent people in Italy, in order to show their humanity, it is said that they are involuntarily in the system. But after letting the ignorant child identify his father, he watched his father get killed. What does this inhumanity have to do with obedience?
Of course, film is the art of representation, history is the carrier, and it reflects the present in Germany - while reflecting on the Nazis, we must emphasize the humanity of the Nazis. To emphasize the banal evil to explain the sensational carnage in history.
In addition, there is another point. In the movie, the Nazis were killed by the avengers who could not achieve justice. The avengers chose to commit suicide. No one died because of the law. This can be seen as a reflection of the abolition of Europe.
In the film, the law is uncertain of life and death, and it is always absent. Neither the Nazi perpetrators nor the private avengers are tried. Is this a legal dilemma? Justice is not only late, but utterly unreachable. Letting private revenge to complete the injustice of justice has become the only way out.
German fascists not only persecuted Jews, but also persecuted sexual minorities, religious minorities, and even more Communist Party members (this is mentioned in the final subtitle of the movie, but the Communist Party is placed after Jews, religions, and other groups that I don’t remember, If i remember correctly). But in the list of Nazi massacres, the first most are Jews, and the second most are Communists.
