Many people on the Internet look at this film with ideology and colored glasses. They always limit the theme of the film to just a few minutes when the pianist plays for the Nazi officers, and they also put a lot of costumes on the plot. The comments, what “accusation of the Nazis”, what “hypocritical humanitarianism”, what “human brilliance”...there are a lot of self-righteous and esoteric statements.
In fact, what this film adapted from real people tells is nothing but the story of the Jewish pianist Spurman being persecuted by the Nazis.
This is an objective, calm, and non-ideological film.
However, this story is very ironic. It is selfish to form a 1:1 ratio with the snow in the snow.
And this is the "turbulent times". At such moments, there will be all kinds of people.
With the help of friends, Spurman escaped many times and finally regained his freedom, but among those who reached out to him, not all well-wishers and difficult friends... The
first time he rescued him was a collusion. The Jewish scum of the Nazis persecuted their compatriots. Do you think that only with a few Nazis, without the "strong assistance" of "some" people, the slaughter can be established so easily?
It was a few Poles who rescued him for the second time. Among those Poles, there are enthusiastic people like the couple, but there are also despicable people who run away with money. As the first European country to be divided in World War II, Poland was no less belligerent than Nazi Germany, so it reaped the consequences. Poland used to take advantage of the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia. After being invaded by the Soviets and Germany, Poland actively participated in the persecution of Jews. Now when it comes to the slaughter of Jews, people are always trying to push all the blame on the Nazis, but in fact, during World War II, Poland, France, Hungary and other countries, but very kindly cooperated with the Nazi slaughter. Among them, the Poles also committed the Yadwabnai tragedy.
The third rescuer was a Nazi officer whose name was Wayne. Many people are always surprised after watching this film: Can this happen? There is nothing impossible, because this is a real thing that happened. In history, Spurman was not the only Jew that Wayne had rescued. During World War II, Wayne used his position to protect some people, but his fate was tragic after the war, because he was imprisoned as a German soldier. Man and others had negotiated with the Soviet side to rescue him, but the Soviet Union rejected it due to political considerations. Wayne eventually died in prison in 1953. Wayne is not a fanatical Nazi. He rescued Spurman, but he wanted to do so. It has nothing to do with what "Germans", "Poles", or "Jews" are with each other, and the reason why he is called Spurman Man plays the piano only because he likes music. In fact, according to Spurman’s own memories, Wayne’s help to him is not limited to those shown in the film, but the director Polanski obviously has no intention of being sensational. En's rescue was neither portrayed as "awakening" nor described as "feat", but merely a description without comment. Unfortunately, many people always look at this plot pretending to be B.
Human nature has nothing to do with which country or party a person is from.
During World War II, in addition to Schindler and Wayne, there was also a German who risked his life to save hundreds of thousands of Chinese lives. His name was John Rabe.
He is a true member of the Nazi party. Whenever the Japanese devils come to the refugee camp to show off their power, Rabe will take out the flag of Nazi Germany and negotiate with the other party. The Japanese devils will retreat after meeting to avoid More Chinese refugees are being maimed. Nearly 300,000 Chinese refugees survived with difficulty because of this Nazi flag.
Rabe has never done anything bad, even though he is a Nazi.
However, Rabe was also unfortunate in the end. He did not get a corresponding return for his kindness. In the last few years, he was impoverished and no free and democratic Westerner was willing to take care of him. The property he owns is only a few thousand dollars sent to him by the Nanjing people—the Nanjing people have never forgotten him.
The examples of Rabe, Wayne, Schindler and others illustrate that a person's quality has nothing to do with which party he joins, but with his environment and education.
Even in today's "democracy and freedom", it only takes five days to cultivate a group of Nazis (see "The Wave" and its true historical prototype for details).
PS: After World War II, Spurman once wrote his own experience as a book for sale, but was quickly banned because the book revealed that many Jews and Poles participated in the Holocaust. The Polish and Soviet governments believed that This is not "harmonious" and is not conducive to socialist unity, so the book is given to "harmony".
