"Ordinary" female agent

World War II is my favorite movie theme, whether it is describing the Nazis, Jewish concentration camps, or the Japanese devils, the Nanjing Massacre... People in peacetime are easy to be numb and easy to forget. Tell yourself what to remember and take as a warning (remember, not for revenge, but to not repeat the same mistakes)! After all, what is sad is not the history that has happened, no matter how dehumanizing it is, but the inability to learn from history and repeat yesterday's tragedy!

This May is anything but ordinary, "Nanjing! Nanjing! ” and “The Diary of Rabe”, two films based on the Nanjing Massacre have been staged one after another. I have always felt that there are too many movies based on the history of the Nazi massacre of Jews, including the extremely heavy “The Pianist”, and some flashes of humanity. "Hintler's List", the uncompromising "Life is Beautiful"...and, countless documentary films! Americans are shooting, Germans are shooting, the whole of Europe and America is shooting, but why? There are very few movies describing the Nanjing Massacre? ! Although I don't expect the Japanese to make film and television works based on this background, even China itself is rarely involved. Why? Is it because it is too heavy, so heavy that no director dares to touch it? ! What are the big directors in China doing? Historical films, are you so embarrassed? 1000 commercial films are not as good as 1 bloody historical film. The influence is not calculated by money!

Okay, off topic! Speaking of "Super Female Agent" , I

appreciate this film, not because Sophie Marceau's gorgeous transformation has once again convinced me (her charm has never been reduced due to different years and roles), but because of this film The ordinary and real of the movie! Although the translation of the movie uses the word "super", in fact, these five female agents who fought against the Nazis are not perfect, nor are they as strong as the deified characters. They are timid, they are helpless, they cry at night, they are just some, ordinary people! If possible, I believe that none of them want to go down this road!

"I fell in love with German men, not Nazis"! The words of Susie, the fiancée of a Nazi officer, express the true meaning of love. She was in love with the German man Heindeck, but when she knew that he was a Nazi, she resolutely left him and gave her child to a so-called "clean" family, hoping that the child would not be abused in the future. A Nazi father and collaborator mother. She was even forced to take the road of being a secret agent, and this was entirely because of her special status as Heindeck's fiancée. There is no doubt that Susie was used (ruthlessly) by the secret service organization (it can even be called: deceived), how innocent she is, and what happened to her is the most sympathetic to me. I always believe that love should not be related to politics ! However, she died at the muzzle of love in the end. I understand and think that she can't bear to kill Heindeck! After all, he is the man she loves deeply and the father of the child! And what Heindeck's decision made me feel is that war is abominable and terrible, and even the purest love has been tainted! This scene, why not make people lonely! Sentimental! regret!

"Louis, give me the poison"! Carley, the bomb expert who deliberately dropped poison on the plane, was not a "brave" person from the start! She is a believer, kind and ordinary! When she jumped off the plane, she couldn't help "screaming" in panic. Because she couldn't stand the torture, she confessed in 2 seconds, with tears on her face, guilt and fear coexisted, she was so real, flesh and blood, cute and pitiful. Who can blame her? She is just an ordinary girl, so pure, so overwhelmed, making people feel sympathetic and compassionate! But is she really not brave? When she begged Louis to give her the poison, when she desperately asked Louis for forgiveness, she was an outsider, understandable? ! Why? A young girl must shoulder such a national mission? She should have a happy family and live a comfortable life happily! Until the end, how calm she was in the prison, she neatly arranged her clothes without the slightest fear! And that cross, she was no longer afraid, she chose the embrace of God.

"My whole family is in a concentration camp"! Perhaps the most qualified to be angry is the Jewish noble Maria! Just like the Nanjing Massacre, the number of Jews killed in World War II has never been determined! But the horrors of Nazi concentration camps have long spread all over the world, tortured to death, gas chambers, crematoriums, final solutions, ethnic cleansing... are painful memories that Jews will never forget. Maria is very capable of leadership. She is the strongest among the five. Because of the hatred in her heart, she has long been allowed to be cowardly. All her family members may have died in concentration camps, and her despair and hopelessness made her even more "crazy". In order to kill Heindeck, she spared no expense, even if she was shot to death by a random gun, she still held the gun in her hand, and her eyes were still filled with hatred!

"Give me a gun! I'm going to kill him, our mission is to kill him" Jenny, a prostitute on death row, is my favorite character in this play. From the very beginning, she just wanted to live a happy life with money in the market The woman, "Don't worry about me" resolutely shot the Nazis to cover up the perseverance and determination of the Lewis operation. She was the most beautiful woman in the operation. Let us see the real courage! Jenny, how kind she is, she always thinks about the child in Louise's belly, her actions are always panic, but she never backs down, until in the end, she sacrificed herself to cover Louise, watching her count against the Nazis The panic when the gun was fired, you know that no matter how she changes, she is just an ordinary woman. While she makes sacrifices, she is also afraid, but completing the task has made her go beyond her instinctive fear.

Finally, there's Luis left! Louis, is the only surviving agent, and the only "strong man" who has withstood the torture as if he were at home! But maybe the other four characters are too layered, but I feel that she (Sophie Marceau) is not as good as I imagined! However, Louis is the clue of the whole movie after all. She connects the four people together, fights with them and grows up together. When she nods and forgives Kalai with tears in her eyes, and her face is full of pain (and guilt towards her), I see tolerance and ask for forgiveness as a comrade-in-arms; Brave and unrepentant; the melancholy and affectionate feeling when she strokes her belly is full of maternal brilliance! Also, her love for her brother, her hatred for the Nazis...the emotions are intertwined, complex and profound! In the end, Louis completed the task. Under the responsibility of the country, the soul of his brother and four sisters, he killed the Nazi Heindek with his own hands. He was calm, calm, and decisive!

    The theme and concept of the film are very good. Seeing the final subtitles, I feel that it should be adapted from real people. It’s just that I think it’s because there are too many characters, so except for the protagonist Sophie Marceau, the portrayal of other people is not detailed enough, which makes people feel very abrupt. For example, the prostitute Jenny, why did she take the initiative when she robbed the box and wanted to escape. Expose yourself and let Sophie go to assassinate Heinrich? But it's a very touching film
