"Why don't the prisoners sleep, isn't it too inhumane?"

"The innocent person will be angry and shouting in the case of repeated interrogations; while the guilty person will cry under mental pressure, because he has something in his heart. Ghost."

"Those who tell the truth, when faced with the same question, will change the words of their answers to some extent; but those who lie will not change a word."...

This is a world of "total surveillance"... Justice, there is How many evils are in your name...

There is no need to repeat the badness of "this world", just like to point out a little "worrying" - the same "unilateralism".

The "idea" of the whole film is very clear, the characters are distinct, and the layout and transition are perfect like a director's "textbook" of a film school, but it is this clearness that makes people smell the excessive "single perspective".

Since 1949, until 89 years ago, any literary works imported from the West must be added in the preface, "This work profoundly exposes the real status quo of capitalism and cannibalism, and completely lashes out at capital. The darkness and ugliness of ism...".

And this "Eavesdropping Storm" seems to be standing opposite these "anti-capitalist" works, and came back with the same force of "thrashing".

The surname "Zi", or the surname "She", or the surname "Communist" is not the crux of the dispute, but "whether the people living in these societies are happy or not" is the crux of the matter.

From a single perspective, it is worthy of vigilance to deny any possible way of social formation with an absolute attitude. In a society with diverse value orientations, judging values ​​that do not belong to you with a negative attitude will only escalate contradictions.

Of course, the problem that comes to my mind is not the interpretation content that this film needs to undertake; as an excellent work, it does almost everything a film needs to do.

AT LAST also has to say, it is an attractive and good work.

  • [last lines]

    Buchverkäufer: 29.80. Would you like it gift wrapped?

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: No. It's for me.

  • Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: An innocent prisoner will become more angry by the hour due to the injustice suffered. He will shout and rage. A guilty prisoner becomes more calm and quiet. Or he cries. He knows he's there for a reason. The best way to establish guilt or innocence is non-stop interrogation.
