Because of his birth, he was labeled as evil, but the people he met became more and more evil; he was rejected and expelled, and suffered more cruel insults and persecutions... During World War II, a young Jewish boy was in Eastern Europe. Wandering, fleeing, living like an ant, until he raised his gun! Yes, the little boy is a microcosm, behind which is the exile history of a nation. No matter how long I am silent, I always remember my name!

He loves cats and dogs. He used to be a modest boy, but one day, he raised his gun without hesitation and pulled the trigger to the hawker who had insulted him, calm as water! At that moment, you will think of a nation that has never stopped after World War II in hunting down war criminals and defending the land. Tit for tit is an iron law, but will the world be a better place?

It's good to watch the movie before reading the original novel! The beauty and purity of black-and-white photography contrasts with all manner of hypocrisy and cruelty. The lens group is quite stylized, but the film as a whole seems to be very realistic, which will affect the ultimate pursuit of the two artistic styles to a certain extent. The use of boys as individuals to refer to a nation, and the painted birds as a metaphor for a nation's predicament, was handled deliberately.

    Many small stories, a bit like fables, are intriguing. The ending song reminds me of the feeling of powerlessness that spreads all over my body

    Again, it reflects the history of World War II. Through the fate of a Jewish child, the film shows various scenarios and experiences of Jews in Eastern Europe during World War II. The story is fragmented and somewhat deliberate, but the form is unmistakably novel and has great morals. Children have the same fate as a disaster star, and those who come into contact with them have bad luck, and they are either dead or injured. And he himself is also suffering, nine deaths. Most of the people it encounters have dark human nature, except for very few good ones.
