The story tells the tragedy in a comedy way. Tears after laughter can even wake up the pain.
The train went all the way to the holy land of Israel, longing for a free and safe life, but the most important countries that it passed through: Germany, Poland, and Russia were actually countries with outstanding records of exterminating Jews in World War II, ranking among the top three in the world.
After the war, Jews used collective wisdom to create a kind of extreme Jewish sadness around the world, aroused the world's compassion for Jews, and played a great positive role in the reconstruction of Jews after the disaster and the heavy occurrence of similar events.
On the other hand, how stupid and numb the Chinese are after the same tragedy!
During World War II, about 6 million Jews were exterminated. The number of deaths in China that can be counted is 18 million. In the Chinese battlefield, the most conservative estimate of abnormal deaths caused by natural disasters, diseases and plagues during the war is between 45 million and 52 million. This is not a Japanese carnival in Nanjing, but 1,500!
Today, what has the Chinese film and television media done compared to the Jews? ?
Basically doing nothing: there is no reflection on the worm-like extinction of Chinese life, no comprehensive and objective description of this history, and no film or documentary with such weight as the Jewish people has been produced!
Chinese media people are letting the tragic situation indifferent in time and forgetting in numbness. They disseminate the universal values of the United States like chicken blood, but they ignore that the West has been the only operator of genocide for 500 years, and they ignore that in the 20 million years of human evolution, ethnic cleansing has never stopped.
After watching this film, I highly recommend the 2013 film: Ida, the nun, which is also an excellent work of Jewish reflection.
