Compared with China's "Nanjing Nanjing" with the same theme, I think this film is more human, and the angle chosen is more interesting. From the perspective of a woman, it runs through the whole massacre, and the ending returns to fantasy, both true and false.
This massacre is irrational, middle-world, savage, primitive. After a cursory investigation of the history of this period, I found that the problems that emerged here are similar to the solutions in the Middle Ages. Conquest and conquest, violence to solve everything, use The name of God, the name of race, gives justice to murder, not love to settle disputes.
In fact, the director gave his own answer to this question from the very beginning: the two sisters fell in love with the Ukrainian teenager by coincidence. They belonged to two races, but they loved each other. In fact, this should be the settlement of disputes between the two races. The means, the two sides live in peace with each other and live together on this land. But with the change of the times, greed and evil began to spread slowly. All of this has historical origins. For a long time, the Ukrainians who believed that they were oppressed by Poland turned to the Nazis and began to bloodbath the Poles frantically, in order to achieve national independence in the region. This kind of insane behavior, especially against civilians, violates the bottom line of human behavior, and no matter how noble the purpose is, it must be spurned.
