The above thoughts are not the reason why I didn't shut down and go to sleep immediately after watching WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO at the end. The reason why I sat on the chair and made a little after watching is actually to pave the way for the following emotions ——The most impressive part of this movie is a logic shown in the dialogue between the German SS colonel and the French farmer. The lines are excerpted as follows:
Colonel: If you want to compare the Germans to an animal, it is cunning Eagle; if the Jew were to be compared to one animal, it would be the mouse. The Führer's and Goebbels' propaganda said the same thing, but we came to different conclusions, and I don't think this comparison is disrespectful. Let's look at the world through the eyes of mice for a moment, and it is indeed a hostile world. If a rat ran away from your door in a panic now, would you be hostile to it?
Farmer: I think so.
Colonel: Did the rat do something bad that caused your hostility?
Farmer: Rats spread disease and bite people.
Colonel: Rats caused bubonic plague, but that was before. I think all the diseases that mice can transmit, squirrels can also carry. Do you agree?
Farmer: Yes.
Colonel: But you're not as hostile to squirrels as you are to mice, are you?
Farmer: Yes.
Colonel: But they're all rodents, aren't they? Aside from the difference in the tail, the other parts look the same, don't they?
Farmer: That's an interesting point, Colonel.
Colonel: Maybe an interesting point, but it's almost the same as yours. If a mouse came in between my words, would you give it a delicious glass of milk?
Farmer: Probably not.
Colonel: I think so too. You don't like them, you don't know why, you just find them ugly.
As I said above, sometimes you can't please some people for no reason at all, so you don't need to ask hard, right?
