Calm and without intense emotional fluctuations, is it from the hope of the afterlife in religious thought, or because of a little bit of numbness that has been eaten away, or just for the pursuit of living. The instinct to live makes everything other than a luxury, and the emotion of sadness can only be obtained after the stomach is full.
To briefly understand that period of history, on April 19, 1943, the Warsaw Jewish Uprising; on August 1, 1944, the Warsaw Uprising; on January 17, 1945, the Soviet Army entered Warsaw. The funny thing is that the Soviet army was definitely not a grateful savior to the Poles. In the spring of 1940, about 22,000 detained Polish soldiers, intellectuals, politicians and public officials were killed by the Soviet army, known as "Katyn" in history. massacre".
In hindsight, the intertwined political factors, such as the anti-Semitic tendencies that appeared in Poland earlier, and the Warsaw Uprising launched in advance to prevent the Soviet Union from taking over Poland, have smeared a more tragic stroke on these civilians. .
The failed uprising was rewarded with faster and more brutal killings, with the Germans killing more than 13,000 Jews in just three weeks; another 300,000 were sent to death camps. During the Warsaw Uprising, more than 200,000 Poles died, of which only 16,000 were insurgents. The number of insurgents who accepted the surrender reached 17,000, of which 922 were officers of the National Salvation Army. After the failure of the Warsaw Uprising, all the civilians in Warsaw were driven out of the city, and 87,000 Warsawians were sent to Germany for forced labor.
It's all numbers, unimaginable numbers.
Been wondering why they could do this? What kind of brainwashing can such cruel aggression and slaughter be without hesitation and guilt.
I searched for a number of sources, and they only told me that it was a matter of religious belief or related to Hitler's early life experiences, but none of this could be understood at all. In an emotional state, I could not even understand and accept the German officer who saved the protagonist in the film, and the order he signed with a single stroke may have taken tens of thousands of lives. But I forgave him, because art, because of sensibility, proved that he simply retained the instinct and nature.
With the relay help of a series of friends, the pianist provided a bystander perspective on the war as a witness. He explained the fact that everyone seemed to be both a perpetrator and a victim. The Jews who helped the Germans killed their compatriots but saved the men. After the Lord's life, the Poles never helped the Jews. Similarly, the uprising failed a year later. The documents signed by the German officers determined the fate of countless people but saved the life of the protagonist. As a pianist, the protagonist has received help from countless friends and even strangers, proving that respect and love for art are the last remaining testimony of human nature, and this is the only way out in the future. Nietzsche completely denies reason and advocates restoring human sensibility and reshaping aesthetic values. The survival of the protagonist is the proof that music and art save life. Even if he is skinny and breaks his leg, you can't deny the power of life he showed when he played that song on the ruins. His unspoken emotions poured out in the ups and downs of the music, and the power of life was achieved here. vertex.
In the film, the pianist always appears as the rescued. In fact, he is the power to save the world in the end. God is dead. Only in music and in the recovery of human sensibility can alienated people finally get redemption.
(At first, I felt that the male protagonist was too embarrassed and didn’t insist on watching it. The second time I opened it and saw a scene playing in front of a German officer, I couldn’t help but sigh, this is the power of art.)
