1. The eye of the child of necessity;
Many stories about World War II will borrow from the perspective of a child -- war slices from a child's perspective. For example, this film, and the more well-known "striped pajamas". Homeopathic, the little boy's eyes full of love, has become the biggest highlight of the film.
Restricted by the huge and sensitive subject matter, the practice of borrowing children is more or less a last resort.
The first is religion. Atheist countries view World War II with the attitude of "man-made disaster", but among the N religions and N+ religious schools that worship Abraham like a fairy, World War II is more like a natural disaster. Therefore, no matter inside or outside of ideology, the adult perspective on World War II cannot form universal values. A little careless, the war was ignited again, and Gaza in the cold war situation was already disturbing enough.
One of the more interesting is not the outside, but the inside. Taking this film as an example, the narrative attitude of the film can neither challenge the "Old Testament" - Judaism, nor the "New Testament" - Christianity, nor can the film structure challenge the "Pentateuch" - reunion, escape, return, in fact This is the "Bible". Let's talk about the outside, it's even more troublesome. Therefore, we know that in terms of the religious environment alone, the narrative space caused by the subject matter of this film is extremely limited.
Next are the Jews. A careful audience will find that the eastern hemisphere literature and art market consumes a lot of stories about World War II, and there is nothing too taboo. However, the Western Hemisphere consumes very little stories about World War II, and very few consumers are willing to directly touch the Jewish nation. Like this film, there are very few film stories about World War II from a Jewish perspective. Under the circumstance that the theme of the red theme can occupy half of the mainland film and television dramas all year round, the story of World War II from the Jewish perspective will not even be enough for the theme of the movie.
Indeed, for a story like this film, the Jews would not care much. If you really want to talk about World War II, the Jewish people are definitely not in this position; Gentiles will not feel pain or itching when they watch it, and at most it is a family ethics drama. However, the film story from this angle must be a neutral attitude, otherwise both sides will not be flattered. For a subject like this film, compared with the filming technology, the narrative standpoint and temperature are more important and test the ability. Although facing the Jews who suffered the most in World War II, restraint should still be reserved. Let's just imagine, can our country's anti-Japanese war theme treat Japan in such a restrained way? this is a problem.
Finally, because of World War II. World War II is a historical scene in an academic context where many people understand what happened, but cannot speak out. If ordinary people know, let him know, and if they don't know, there is no need to know, because knowing can only provoke hatred. To give an extremely inappropriate example, it is like a husband and wife quarrel. After the quarrel, let it be turned over. You must not go back and forth about the last time and the last time, otherwise the more quarrel, the bigger the problem. As the film says -- now we have to look forward, not look back.
2. The super race, the chosen people of God - the Jews;
The most well-known Jew we have come into contact with is Jesus, who is the center of the entire Bible and all religions built around it, the era of anthropology as the creationist Western world sees it. Interestingly, the Jews themselves not only did not believe in Jesus, but also nailed him to the cross with their own hands. Hitler had his own interpretations of this history, and these interpretations eventually formed the reality of war in World War II. Among them, the controversy is relatively large and will not be expanded.
It is necessary to mention that, as the Bible-New Testament-Romans says, "The sins of the house of Jacob will be forgiven, and the house of Israel will be saved." Therefore, for the Jews who abide by the "law and the prophets", Christendom Still a very tolerant attitude. For example, seeing the scene of the persecution of Jews in this film, it is completely conceivable that Protestantism, Catholicism, Orthodox, although there are differences in principle with Judaism, it is still quite sad emotionally. Although the Jews who insist on the "dignity of the law" do not recognize themselves, the Jews in the eyes of the Christian world are still brothers, and everything is because of Jesus.
At the same time, when it comes to Jews, another thing that has to be mentioned is "suffering". Although it is precious as the chosen people of God and is a super race, for thousands of years, this nation has gained only suffering from its "sense of national superiority". This makes us reflect on what suffering is. In other words, without these sufferings, who can be a "son of God"?
Dissecting religion, just standing in the philosophical point of view, suffering is the mirror of human nature and world affairs. Everything in the world will be exposed and manifested in suffering. Just as a storm will wash the streets clean. Family, love, and friendship can only be tested and manifested in suffering. Put it on everyone, you in suffering is the real you.
Furthermore, suffering is the price of original sin, and frustration is the price of mistakes, but it is also an opportunity to correct mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to have the courage to bear the price of mistakes, recognize it, correct it and make up for it. From this perspective, we are all "Jews".
3. About "a bag of marbles";
I personally hate this plot setting.
The part about the bag of marbles is the only part in the film that can be said to be obscure, because it involves the
The implication, a bit like what we said, will pay back sooner or later. Because it involves the interpretation of the
In the end, the creator still expressed a little bit of his own understanding, although it was so obscure, and it was through children. I personally don't like it because the creator knows that "however, God's actions from beginning to end cannot be understood by man" - the New Testament - Ecclesiastes, why use the allusions of the
