A little analysis of the heroine's whistleblower

First of all, I think the relationship between the heroine and the male writer should be a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend or lover. An actress and a male writer, the loose dating schedule and the relatively independent careers and circles of the two show that actresses and male writers are more like lovers or boyfriends and girlfriends than husbands and wives. It is normal for an actress to have a key to a male writer's house. I guess here that neither of them has an official spouse, so although they have not gone through the formalities, they have already accepted each other in their hearts, and they have full trust in the key and family property.
The actress has her own career, and she also values ​​her career very much and is unwilling to withdraw from the stage, so at the beginning, although she was unwilling (at the beginning of the film, the Minister of Culture touched her during the conversation, and she walked away immediately), but the thought of His acting career and his fear of the power of the Minister of Culture forced him to resign from the Minister of Culture. Although she was in pain at this time, she was still willing to maintain this triangular relationship. In her opinion, it was the best and most stable solution at that time.
When the male writer didn't turn his face immediately after finding out, on the one hand, he wanted to calm down, on the other hand, he also re-examined their relationship and feelings. The male writer felt that he had no power and could not give the actress a future, so he chose to impress the other party with his feelings and hoped that the other party would give up the Minister of Culture. At this time, the heroine also expressed his bitterness and questioned the male writer, "Every day he praised the East." Germany is the best country in the world." Isn't it the same as sleeping with the powerful? At this time, although the two love each other, they have not yet achieved symbiosis and can sacrifice themselves for each other.
The actress still chose love (under the persuasion of the agent), she did not go to the appointment, the actress and the male writer at this time can already foresee that the Minister of Culture will take revenge, but since there is no better way, we can only do this first live.
When the actress was actually caught by the Gestapo, it was actually quite frightening. Although I hear every day that the Gestapo will arrest people and kill people, when this happens to me, I think anyone will be cowardly and fearful. The heroine's first reaction was to see if she could "make money by standing". She wanted to rely on her own strength to turn the big things into small ones, even if she accompanies the chief judge to sleep (verbally seduce the case investigators), as long as she It is also worthwhile to be able to protect yourself, your lover, and your friends in the circle. But the investigators told the truth that it was the Minister of Culture who wanted to rectify her, and there was nothing they could do. At this time, the actress can only win a glimmer of hope by making greater sacrifices and giving up a bigger bargaining chip, so she deliberately casts the name of a male writer, but it is actually a delaying strategy. Although I am not sure about the heroine during the first interrogation Whistleblowing, but it is certain that the heroine must have revealed some information. At this time, the heroine is not ready to sacrifice herself (if she does not exchange, she will be in prison for life), at this time, she still has hope in her heart, hoping that things will work out. There was a turning point, or she expected her boyfriend to share the damage with her, but she didn't want to put all the blame on her boyfriend, who would die on her own, so she didn't say where the typewriter was hidden.
I believe that before the second arraignment, the heroine must have been tormented, always worried about whether her boyfriend will be arrested, and at the same time her conscience will torture herself. During the second arraignment, the heroine guessed that they did not find evidence, so she was surprised and happy. Fortunately, she didn't make a big mistake. At this time, she must have been prepared to make even greater sacrifices. At this time, her bottom line had reached "earning money by lying down", that is, to save her boyfriend, and she would suffer years of imprisonment. When the presiding judge slowly turned around, the heroine actually had a glimmer of hope, because the Gestapo had helped her before, and the heroine was very calm and did not show panic, but just watched the situation change, which was also in line Knowing what the agent meant, the agent at this time is actually the same as the heroine. There is no way out. When the boss has already suspected him, the stalemate can no longer solve any problems, but will expose everyone, so he can only take the initiative. To change, in just a few dozen seconds, he has already thought of a countermeasure, that is, the heroine confesses. The advantage of this is that the pressure on the heroine (confession) and him (successful interrogation) is relieved in a short time. But all the crises came to the male writer for a while (they were caught and all the money was taken), and the agent had already figured out the next move, that is, to steal the typewriter himself. A friend said that even if he stole the typewriter, his superiors would suspect him and re-examine the three people, and they would fail miserably in the end. But human nature is like this. As long as there is a trace of vitality, he will give it a shot, so the agent does this is the most likely way to solve the problem in a short period of time. As for the result, he can't control so much, he can only try his best. to do it.
During the interrogation conversation between the two, they kept making eye contact and testing each other, much like the conversation between two underground party members in the wind. After some words for her trust, the male agent nodded at her, meaning to believe me. In just a few seconds, the actress also chose to let it go, rather than sit still, so she made the choice, that is, to admit to cooperate with the agent.
However, when the female agent was released home, she already knew that this matter had reached the final moment. She had made all her efforts before, and the rest was to make things happen. When she returned home to see her lover, after these few days of baptism, she was actually ready to sacrifice herself completely. At this time, she was already a warrior, not like the first day. Cowardly to be caught. In just a few minutes, the agents came, and she hadn't had time to say a few words to her lover, and she didn't have time to sort out her thoughts. When she saw that the agent quickly found the typewriter hiding place, and the hatred in the eyes of her lover, she felt that it was all over, there was no savior, the agent failed to save them (she did not believe that the agent could In addition to the cowardice and self-blame, and the guilt for her lover, she only had love for her lover in her heart at this time, and other careers, imprisonment, and guilt were nothing to her. It's important, so at the last minute, I made a final cut-suicide.
The heroine's suicide is her redemption and the final proof of her lover's love. However, her death objectively saved her lover and the agent. Because of her death, the incident came to an end and the investigation was not continued.

Many friends say that this woman is selfish and betrays her lover. I think the relationship between the two of them was a lover at the beginning, and they have not yet reached the point where they can give up their life for each other, but after this test, it is proved that she loves this person. , she would give up her life for her. There are selfish and cowardly sides in human nature, so we should not accuse her too much when confessing at the beginning. Not everyone is Sister Jiang, and every patriotic and passionate young man dares to block the eye-catching. As long as you give up yourself at the last moment, the side of justice is a hero.
In addition, I think that the male agent still has a crush on the actress, but the way he loves is to let the person he loves be with the person she likes. This kind of love is not known to be millions of times nobler than that ugly official. .
