Koch is undoubtedly a complex character, his motivations and character activities are complex compared to the protagonist's survival and Max's mission. There's been a lot of detailed analysis that he's likely gay, so his feelings for the protagonist are worth discussing. But I don't think that's love. It was pure exploitation at first, then it was a habit, and at the end it was like reluctance to let your dog die. When the protagonist answered the word "bread" with his unreserved fisting and deliberately arranging for him to go to the quarry and torment him, it can be seen that he has no standard meaning of love for the protagonist.
And I personally don't like him very much, I think he is weak, inferior and self-deceiving. When the protagonist said he was the executioner, he denied it, but he did not make any resistance to the whole inhumane status quo, just deceived himself. Even if he manages to reach his destination, I think his former lover will part ways with him. As a film and television image, it is of course successful and wonderful to be able to show this contradiction, but as a person, I don't like him.
I like the protagonist very much, especially after returning from the quarry, he has a kind of transformation, from completely dependent on the officer to a kind of fearless, it can be said that he was living for his own selfishness at first, but for the dead Persian He is also really sad when people are sad, and dying for the deaf-mute Italian is also a sincere reward. It is easy to happen that, after receiving preferential treatment in this environment, he gradually divided himself into the Nazi camp and began to oppress his compatriots. But the protagonist didn't. At the end of the film, he said those names and wept aloud. He regarded these 2840 names as real people. There was a detail during the meal. He accidentally asked a person's name. This person is in fake Persian. represents hope. Finally he looked at the church, not knowing what to feel.
Another Max, he can be said to be one of the few light-hearted elements in the movie, even if he himself is doing evil, but he is very similar to an ordinary young man. In pursuit of love, he will play the accordion to perform his tasks, but he is unaware of himself. behavior is sinful. This kind of person is the easiest to incite, but I think Max is actually more likely than Koch to have a normal life if he lived in peaceful times.
