Rudy and Anna. The voice-over of the country teacher at the beginning has made us not expect the truth to come to light in the end. What I am entangled is whether Haneke himself has an answer and whether he has left enough clues. My answer is yes. (All the following guesses are my own.) The doctor tripped and injured him on horseback, but he did not show any desire to find the person who framed him. The Baron’s child, Sigi, was hung upside down and took off his pants and whipped him. He didn’t tell people who beat him (I doubt this is really unexplainable), and the Baron just stopped. The midwife (the doctor's mistress), her disabled child, Cary, was blinded. She claimed that she knew who the murder was, but then disappeared. No victims demanded justice. People who are interested in violence are outsiders. The police and our village teachers who came and went. A teacher is a person with a lot of privileges. He got permission from the baron to go fishing in his river. He got the wife’s permission to dance with her nanny. He could borrow a carriage and bicycle from their housekeeper. He was even confident to persuade the baron’s family not to drive Eva away. Father owns a tailor shop in the outer village, which means that he can leave at any time and never return to this village (which is what he did last). His curiosity is only the curiosity of bystanders. He thought he knew the truth, doubted the priest's children Clara and Martin, and seemed to persuade the audience from the beginning, but he did not expose it. Facing Clara and Martin's lies, he seemed completely powerless. He reported to their father. The pastor, the father who usually punishes the children for being late, playful, and the youngest sins, is now sheltering them and threatening the teachers. Martin. The first time the audience suspected that Martin was the encounter between him and the teacher by the river, it was not long after the doctor incident. He walked with open arms on the railing of the bridge, and he gave God a chance to kill him, "God didn't do this, it shows that God is satisfied with me." Doctor, next we see an incest with his 15-year-old daughter Anna, and Anna and Martin are classmates. Martin's first sentence in the film is "What happened to Anne" (other than Anna's brother Rudy called her Anne), he had the motive to frame the doctor. Sigi. The tenant's wife fell to her death when she was arranged by the baron's butler. In a family where ancestors have been tenant farmers for generations, this may happen in the past and in the future. This was accepted by the old farmer, but his son chopped down the baron’s vegetable plot. Even if it was really an accident, is the person who should be retaliated against is the butler of the Baron, or is it impossible for the Baron to know all this? Before the second violent incident happened to Sigi, Martin and Clara were banned by their father. The ruler whipped, this is actually the way Sigi was injured. Martin and Clara hated their father, but could not resist his power. Religious rights are in the hands of the priest, and those who grant these rights are the ruler, the baron's class. In the film, the baron looks like a weak feudal old man. The right is not in him, but the people he has granted privileges, doctors, priests and teachers. In the sigi incident, Martin and Clara did not seem to have any motives. The first suspects could only be the tenant farmers whose wives died and their sons. Ferdinand, Sigi, Georg. Housekeeper's family. The steward is the closest person to the baron, the most privileged person, and his two children are real bad boys who can see clear motives. The newborn boy was hated by his two brothers, so they opened the window and almost froze him to death. Sigi has a whistle capable of playing beautiful music, for which he was thrown into a pond and almost drowned. These two boys are motivated and cruel, but they are also afraid. On the contrary, Martin and Clara, they have no motivation for what they did. They are not afraid. Their only judgment is "God did not do this. God is satisfied with what I did". The housekeeper’s children were ruled by their father’s whip. They occasionally dared to resist face to face. The priest used the "white ribbon" to rule. Martin and Clara never resisted in front of their father. With regard to the Nazi metaphors that "White Ribbon" has to mention, we can foresee the future roles of the children of the butler and the priest. Clara. The subtitle of "White Ribbon" is "A German Fairy Tale", and the children in the dark are organized and planned activities, just like many types of horror movies. From the beginning, the teacher observed that the children in the village always gathered around Clara, as if she had some kind of supernatural power, which undoubtedly reminded me of Arthur Miller’s "The The role of Winona Nad in Crucible. Clara is very calm, and Martin always seems to hide behind her. After being humiliated by her father in public, Clara killed the doctor's bird with a scissors cross. Later, the son of the midwife, Kari, who was mentally disabled, was blinded by the eye. Cary, the child of a doctor and midwife, was almost knocked out and left with a disability. Kari is as innocent as the little bird, and their guilt lies in their master, who brought them into this world. Their innocence, their weakness, is their sufficient reason for being hurt and being retaliated. Martin and Clara did this because they were able to do it. Gustav. Small sins are punished by people, but for large enough sins, the punisher can only be God. The pastor’s youngest son, Gustav, asked his father if he could raise an injured bird. He asked the child, "If the injury is good, would you be willing to let it go free, what do you do with it?" The child glanced at it. The bird cage hanging behind his father answered, "Keep it in a cage." This is the perfect explanation of hypocrisy I have seen in the movie. When his father's bird died, Gustav was willing to give his own bird to his father, so as not to make him sad. All innocent creatures are the white ribbon, the white ribbon used to remind humans of hypocrisy. Their innocence and loss of protection stimulate people's sinful desires. In this "German fairy tale", there are cowardly feudal rulers and powerful power minions, parents with terribly holy appearances, and extreme hypocrisy under the mask of religious ultimate goodness. When the smallest crime is punished, the greatest The time when China’s sins can always be escaped is when this nation loses its last innocence.
