I have been looking forward to the movie for a month since Christmas. After watching it, I think the initial setting is still very attractive. The overall flaws are not concealed, but it is not particularly good-looking. It seems that this movie has been released in China, and you can watch it.
// plot
During World War II, a young (probably Belgian) Jew in a German war zone in France was taken into a concentration camp and escaped by falsely claiming that he was a Persian by using a Persian book he bought halfway for bread. The German officer in charge of logistics believed him and asked him to teach himself Persian so that he could go to Tehran to find his brother after the war. In the middle, he was almost discovered several times. The most recent one was when a real Persian came to the concentration camp, but Gilles turned his luck into a disaster.
// lens
The overall color tone of the movie is cold. My favorite is the picture where Gilles registers information such as names under the desk lamp and finds that he can quickly compose words with names, which is the picture on the movie poster. What impressed me was the poignant beauty conveyed by the snow-covered forest that appeared many times in the middle. At the beginning and the end, Gilles faces the camera and walks alone on the rails. Although they are very similar, their emotions are different. One is a sense of despair, and the other is a sense of compassion and hope.
// figure
It is said that people are more confident and imposing when speaking their native language, and are relatively soft and cute when speaking a foreign language. This is also confirmed by the German officer. He is irritable and unmistakable when speaking German. Even if the subordinate raises reasonable doubts, even if he talks to the superior, he is very tough and neither humble nor arrogant; When speaking Persian, it is much gentler, and sometimes he recites small poems tenderly to praise the beauty of "Persian". At the end, he realizes that the betrayed despair and anger displayed by the real Persians who can't understand their "Persian" brings him back to his German personality: a piece that does not kill with his own hands but maintains the accurate and smooth operation of the killing machine. "Innocent Snowflake", the actor's interpretation of the emotional transformation is very good.
// language
The plot setting is wonderful, but a reference to Esperanto is the case of a fake Persian who uses a name to create a new language. Not to mention that German itself is a very logical language, and the nature, number, and character of words are closely related. The way an officer learns Persian as a native German speaker is actually to learn thousands of individual words, which is not German at all. :(
