So deep story, so shallow expression

The story is not untouchable, but the film is really unimpressive.

Different from the traditional Chinese perspective, it seems to look at the war from the perspective of a bystander, the truth and the lie, the pedantic loyalty in the heart and the secret of keeping the so-called "truth", what you see can't be said, quitting the party is not recognized, Tragic life, great humanity, when others are doing for themselves, being able to be for others is also precious.

In any case, the Chinese should remember this German who helped hundreds of thousands of people.

    It is really quite satisfactory. The biggest highlight is the nude scenes. The Heng Piao group will charge 1,000 yuan for a nude scene. It is estimated that the scene cost 30,000 yuan to get in. The slow-paced control is okay, and the screenwriters are not too exposed. It is the work of this kind of theme. Another interesting point is that the German and British people perform on the third party in China. There is cooperation and complaints, and the design is still Very interesting

    There are three places in the play that make me cry: 1. Rabe lets refugees escape the bombing of Japanese planes under the banner of the Nazis (someone always does angelic things in the name of Nazis, just like some people do devil things in the name of God); 2. Rabe abstained when the Security Committee was established. Another doctor was dissatisfied with Rabe’s chairmanship and voted against it. However, they still obeyed the voting results and assumed the chairmanship and vice chairmanship (this is a sense of responsibility!); 3. The people who saved 200,000 people were killed. Forgotten and poor
