The previous understanding of Germany's defeat in World War II was too superficial. It only came from the cold sentence "Germany announced its unconditional surrender" in the textbook. Only through this film did I realize the tragic history of this period. The back of history is a bloody memory. Hitler and the Nazi soldiers and civilians he led are certainly not worthy of sympathy, but it is impossible to deny the misery and despair of Berlin after being surrounded by Russian troops.
Hitler became increasingly paranoid and mad when the war was over. He roared at the officers, hysterically shouting that they would not listen to him, that they had all betrayed him; he ordered all retreating officers and soldiers to be shot immediately, even though the Russians were only a thousand meters away, even though they were officers with great military achievements; he To put it bluntly, don't think about the people, I think it's because it's not cold-blooded enough. At the end of his life, he also believed that he was not at fault in the slightest, and even felt that the slaughter of Jews was a right and great decision he made.
Hitler may have had outstanding military skills, he may have had excellent leadership skills, but he was by no means a good ruler. A Führer, knowing that Germany's defeat was inevitable, ordered the destruction of all public facilities, despite being warned by officers that this would set Germany back decades, and insisted that all the people be buried with him, it is hard to believe that in peaceful times he They will really care about the people, but it's just some high-sounding words to gain support.
There are many touching moments in the movie review.
After Hitler committed suicide, Goebbels, an equally fanatical Nazi and a loyal follower of Hitler, shot himself with his wife after killing several children. That's how they ended their lives. The couple not only blindly believed in Hitler's Nazism themselves, but also deprived their children of the right to live. How innocent the child is, the eldest daughter has reached the age to detect this, even though she begged her mother to escape the end of death.
The little boy under the influence of Nazism joined the battle despite his father's dissuasion, and shook hands with Hitler proudly. After experiencing the cruelty of the war, he returned home. The mother touched the sleeping son's forehead and said, "He has a fever." After the father replied, "But he's still alive," the couple looked at each other and smiled. "But still alive", what a simple hope has become an extravagant hope in the flames of war, how embarrassing. What kind of belief made the undeveloped children join the war feverishly; what kind of country sent all the children to the battlefield.
I have to say that this movie is a bit of a beautification of the Russian army. In the face of a woman and a child approaching the enemy, just thinking of the destruction brought about by the war and the brutality and bloodshed in the battle, how could he indifferently let his enemy leave his eyes unscathed. What's more, the inferiority of human nature is more easily revealed in war.
I agree very much with what the old female secretary said at the end of the film, "Young is not an excuse". Neither the Germans nor the Japanese can be forgiven for what they did during World War II. Youth is not an excuse, nor are any other excuses. If they are wrong, they are wrong. If they paid for it, they should .
