I'm in a bad mood recently, and I don't know what life means to me. Is life just survival, but my existence is not pleasant. Since I can't understand what real happiness is, let's look at real despair. The smeared bird is based on the background of World War II. When we think about World War II, we will think of the German genocide and Japan's aggression against China. This is also the main content of most movies about World War II, but the whole film is about war. There are very few pictures, even the pictures of the soldiers are only a few fragments. Although the movie has the soldiers massacred Jews and silenced the whole village, the pictures are still so brutal and bloody and unsightly, but it is even more hopeless. It's the loss of humanity in another part of the war. They are also the people oppressed by the war. They did not participate in the war, but they became the beasts who survived in the war. They are the representatives of human animal nature, fear, desire, arrogance, control, hypocrisy, cruelty... In that dark corner, they erode people's souls, and the devil in human skin is nothing but the same, the real virtue is lost its light. Of course they don't just exist in times of war, they exist in any era, around us, or in our hearts. The protagonist of the film is a little boy of about ten years old. He has a pair of big eyes, but his eyes are full of fear. Fear has no color, so the whole film is black and white as always. Maybe it's because of the Jews that he discriminates wherever he goes. He's like a smeared bird, surrounded by villagers and beaten, he cries, "I want to go home, I want to go home. ...", but this is the first and last sentence he said in the movie, but at this time he had no home, and his parents in the concentration camp also experienced inhuman experiences; he was regarded as a devil Whipped in a sack, thrown into a cesspool, all discrimination, abuse, intimidation, insults, beatings... hurt his young heart, he had to hide his inner goodness in the deepest, he knew only ruthlessness and numbness You can protect yourself, you can keep yourself alive. For him, who had a special status at the time, it was a blessing to be alive, and it was also unfortunate when he was a colleague. Fortunately, he was alive. Unfortunately, he was only alive but lost his dignity as a human being. This is enough to show his bravery. It was too easy to die. , but life is so difficult, he not only has to witness injustice but also experience injustice. At that time, existence is a kind of courage.
