Throughout the film, I have roughly summed up several characteristics: First, black and white tones, and a dull sense of depression. Second, there are very few lines, especially the protagonist, I only remember one of the lines of the little boy, that is, what he said at the beginning I just wanted to go home. Third, all the actors have almost no smiling faces and no laughter, just dead, numb, fearful expressions. Fourth, there is no soundtrack throughout the entire film.
Although it is not as bloody as the legend, it still reveals incomparable darkness, and the scale is also very bold (just burnt, thin glue, random), which reminds me of another movie "Warren". The bloody level of the smeared bird is jaw-dropping, and both films are from Poland, so what happened to Poland?
The country of Poland experienced a total of 3 subjugations
1. In 1795, Russia, Prussia, and Austria divided the waves, and Poland perished for the first time.
On January 3, 1795, Russia and Austria signed an agreement for the third partition of Poland, and on October 24, Prussia also signed the agreement. According to the agreement, the Polish territory was divided up in its entirety.
2. In 1815, the Principality of Warsaw established by Napoleon in Poland was divided between Prussia and Austria, and Poland perished again.
In 1809 Napoleon I established the Principality of Warsaw in central Poland as a satellite state of France. In 1815, Napoleon was defeated, the Principality of Warsaw was dismembered, and its western land became the Principality of Poznan, under the jurisdiction of Prussia, and the neutral Krakow Republic (also called Krakow Free City) was established in Krakow. The Kingdom of Poland was established in its main region, with the Russian tsar and king.
3. In 1939, the German blitzkrieg occupied western Poland, the Soviet Union took the opportunity to occupy the eastern part, and Poland perished for the third time.
On September 1, 1939, Germany raided Poland with a blitzkrieg and quickly occupied most of Poland's territory. On September 17, 1940, Soviet leader Stalin ordered 600,000 Soviet Red Army troops to cross the Soviet-Polish border, attacking eastern Poland and occupying Western Ukraine and Western Belarus, on the grounds of establishing the Eastern Defense Line.
On September 18, the Soviet army and the German army joined forces at Brest-Litovsk, and the Soviet and German armies carved up Poland along the Pisa River-Narew River-Vistula River-San River line. On September 28, the Germans captured Warsaw and Poland fell again. The Polish people started the anti-fascist national liberation war
I remembered what the famous producer Fang Li said, if a person loses a woman, he cannot die, but if a person loses the country, the nation, and the faith, how can he live? Poland, you are so hard! I don't know if everyone has noticed that the little boy was beaten by a group of old grandpa who likes to meet prostitutes. After the old grandfather released a white painted bird, he fell down and died. It looks like a movie. The protagonist, the little boy, but his body is not dead, maybe his heart is dead. Fortunately, at the end, the child got into the car to go home, and the camera was panned to the sky. At this time, a bird suddenly flew, I think This bird metaphor is the one that was painted before, symbolizing new life.
