Movie name: innocent murder (Colinney case) The whole film plot can be summed up in one sentence: an old man named Colinny shot another old man Meyer, which led to the Nazis' revenge killing of ordinary Italians in World War II. . What the film really wants to accuse is a 1968 German law that helped some WWII Nazis get away with their crimes, even by shooting innocent people in wartime. Personally, I think the first half of the film is procrastinated. It revolves around the life trajectory of the defendant's lawyer. What is the revival of the lover's old love when he was young, and what happens when he encounters the little girl in the pizza shop in the heavy rain. It has nothing to do with the plot. To shoot horizontally and vertically, it took a full hour to get to the point. In particular, the casting of Meyer's granddaughter made me wonder if the management forced it in. When she was young, she looked about the same age as the protagonist. When the case happened, the protagonist had just graduated from college. The middle-aged woman whose husband is divorced, the most terrible thing is that she still has a long emotional scene with the male protagonist in the movie that has nothing to do with the plot. What's also incredible is that after Colinny killed Meyer, even if there was another secret in court, he would not say a word, and he would pretend to make the protagonist not mind his own business. Don't ask, just ask the director not to say, let the protagonist (Colinney's lawyer) go to Italy to dig by himself. It was only an hour later, when the identity of the victim, the SS, was made public in court, like a blockbuster bomb exploded at the scene. The camera also goes back to 1944. In retaliation for the two German soldiers killed by the Italian partisans, the Nazis shot and killed ordinary Italians 10 times. Xiao Kelin mud witnessed the process of his father being shot. In the prosecution against Meyer when he grew up, because of the implementation of the bill, Meyer escaped sentencing. There are a few shots here that actually echo Meyer in the eyes of the protagonist in the previous hour. For example, as a Nazi, he was kind to Colinny, but when he asked who his father was, he was able to kill his father without hesitation in front of him. And when he raises the protagonist like his biological father, as a capitalist, he can also oppress the protagonist's worker father without hesitation. So in essence, he is still a hypocrite, just like when the Nazis shot ordinary people in the film, they used the fig leaf that they would not kill women and children, but they still could not change the evil deeds they committed. The film's scheduling rate is actually not low, but the attendance rate doesn't seem to be high. There are only four audience members in the entire theater, including me. If audiences who are interested in the history of World War II and the German legal system can endure the rhythm of the first hour, they can enter the theater.

    Actually, I really want to know what the judge would do if Corinne hadn’t committed suicide.

    The real deep point of this film is that today, there are still some Germans trying to whitewash and cover up the crimes of the Nazis. Therefore, the entire German nation must continue to reflect deeply. Otherwise, the Nazis will still be possible. Make a comeback. The vigilance and introspection that Germany may still be Nazified is not inferior to "Captain Fake".
