Friends may not have to meet
Larue 2022-04-21 09:01:21
Just finished watching this movie and don't want to say anything about the plot or anything else. No flashy colors and no exaggerated lens language. Quite a silent movie. HGW XX/7 never smiles from beginning to end, and the other people in this film seem to never smile at all. The happiest laugh I remember was when the guy who ended up examining the letter with HGW XX/7 was telling a joke. But it was still deprived of the right to smile by the political shady. Including the processing of the hue and the processing of the light, it is basically unpleasant. But such a heavy film expresses the friendship between men in the most authentic way. I think this friendship transcends many things. It's hard to imagine that two men who have never met each other put so much energy and respect into each other. This movie got me thinking about friendships in real life. In fact, I haven't lived a life of endless eating and drinking, and now I prefer to feel some quiet things. But that's not to say that all the fun between friends is fake. I just got a better understanding of what true friendship is through this movie. This kind of thing transcends language, like the final epilogue. Without any excessive footage and plot. One word says it all!

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.
