1. The story prototype has great potential! It is a pity that many places have not been handled well, and it is anticlimactic. Especially at the beginning of the movie, under the high pressure of survival, teaching a brutal Nazi officer a language completely made up by himself, not only making it up, but also memorizing all the words, it was an adrenaline rush! But then it became less stressful.
2. There are some plots that I don't understand. The motives of the Nazi officers to go to Tehran are not very clear, and their characters are not sufficiently fleshed out. Seeing that some people say that it is history and the political background at the time, the clues are too hidden.
3. Max is an important story line, which leads to many characters, but it is a bit reluctant, and the connection with the main line is too close. For example, Max originally wanted to get canned meat, so why did he inexplicably become the person who wanted to debunk Giles? Another example is the Italian brothers. Under the plot in the movie, it is completely incomprehensible that Giles has such deep feelings and is willing to die for it. In fact, the clues on Max's side are also very interesting. This line may represent the "normal life" of ordinary people in abnormal environments. If at the beginning he took credit for discovering the "Persians", it stands to reason that if this is not the case, Max should be responsible for this and will probably be severely punished. But Max has become a "villain". If there is no matter of Max's girlfriend, that is to say, no personal feelings are involved, then it can be understood that Max is actually out of the pursuit of "truth" or even "truth", It represents "justice" in a special environment, which is very interesting, such as the massacre of Jews, the Nanjing Massacre, the Cultural Revolution, etc., have entered an abnormal environment, and individual values are difficult not to be affected, this should be a group psychology. However, in the movie, it is linked to Max's girlfriend, so if the protagonist is dismantled because of personal feelings, Max represents pure evil, which is too binary and not too advanced. The movie probably also wanted to use the line of Max to express the normal, ordinary life of the German people in the concentration camps. That's fine too, but it would be confusing to use Max as a character, at least the story could have been more coherent.
4. If the focus of the ending is on the names of the Jews, the foreshadowing in the front is not enough. I only saw the transcription list and the scene where Giles feeds the Jews. The impact is not enough. I can't feel the impact of those names. shock.
5. It would have been a very interesting point to associate a made-up language with Jewish names. If the design of other clues and characters is more self-consistent, the foreshadowing of the name is more ingenious, and the ending is changed again, it will cause a great impact! It can be rushed to 9 points, which is a pity!
