This is one of my favorite frames from the movie

It's the movie that makes me most empathize with the cruelty of war and the pull of humanity

When a Jew survives in a concentration camp in the face of a genocide, when a Nazi officer fulfills his duty and never sees his brother again, when a language is created to survive, it is 2840 when faced with a language with the same name as himself. I think it's the same whether I live or get shot at the time, I'm tired of this fear, I'm tired of being scared, and when the sub-commander's gun faces him, he just walks in without blinking his eyes. concentration camp.

After being rescued in the last concentration camp, the male protagonist said that he could remember the names of 2,840 prisoners. It should be very sad when you read them out one by one. When he was cutting fish in the kitchen, he saw that his opposite dummy fell to the ground and was continuously whipped because of lack of strength, while he was alive and well in the kitchen. He saved his life in the concentration camps under hundreds of names, but he faced the genocide in front of one's survival every day. He registers his name every day, which is the capital for him to create a language to survive. But behind this are a lot of fresh lives, he survived, but few of the names he remembers survived. He is tired of all this. When the officer spoke the Persian he had been taught at the gate, with vivid names and bloody incriminating nonsense, he was eventually stopped as a Nazi officer. Even if he didn't kill the male protagonist, as the male protagonist said, he is not a murderer but manages the food for the murderer. did not escape the judgment of history.

Persian Lessons quotes

  • Klaus Koch: [Koch took Gilles back after he was put to move to another camp] You would risk your life for those nameless people.

    Gilles: Those aren't nameless. Just because you don't know their names. At least they aren't murderers.

    Klaus Koch: I'm not a murderer.

    Gilles: No. You just make sure that the murderers eat well.

  • Klaus Koch: As long as you work for me nothing will happen to you. I bet 20 cans of meat that nothing will happen to you.

    Gilles: Too bad I won't be able to eat them since I'll be dead.
