Last night I watched the French film Sarah's Key, which is a good movie, it's a sad story.
The quiet, laughter-filled life is suddenly interrupted by a heavy knock at the door, like a frightened bird of The Jewish child Sarah and her brother Michelle trembling and waiting for an unknown future and destiny. To protect her brother, Sarah locked Michelle in a closet to prevent him from being taken away by the police, and she repeatedly cared for her brother: "Don't make a sound, I'll be back soon, I promise!" ”。
Involuntarily, they were stuffed into the car and taken away, leaving their brother alone locked in a dark closet. During the isolation of the stadium and the detention in the concentration camp, Sarah and her parents tried everything to go back and rescue Michelle locked in the closet, but they were unable to protect themselves, and they were forced to separate and detain in different places under the threat of guns and faucets. Sarah hadn't forgotten her brother for a moment, she couldn't imagine how helpless his brother was alone in the closet, was he scared, was he hungry? Sarah clutched the key to the closet tightly in her hand, even if she had a high fever and was unconscious, even in the face of the ruthless leather boots of the bailiff, because the other end of the key was tightly tied to her brother's life.
The film is full of suspense throughout, and the fate of Sarah and her brother is heart-wrenching. Finally, the clever Sarah influenced a bailiff, and he cut aside sarah to escape from the barbed wire of the camp. With the help of well-wishers, Sarah returned home and opened the closet, and the sight before her made her scream and lose her voice. The film doesn't give footage in the closet, but we all know what's going on.
Then we start to pay attention to Sarah's fate, will she live, how did she live after World War II, and did she still live with the kind old couple who saved her life? Following the female journalists, we traveled from Paris to New York to Italy. Sarah lived with the old couple for a while, but one day she suddenly left there, and at first there were some simple contacts, and then disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where she went and how she lived.
Some people may think that how lucky to survive the nazi clutches, Sarah should cherish life more, love life, and ask for more happiness from the world instead of the three relatives he unfortunately lost. But, the truth is that Sarah has been living in extreme pain, and the tragic death of her brother is a shadow that she cannot let go. Even if she later met her beloved husband and had a lovely son, she was not saved from that tragic nightmare. One day, she drove a vehicle toward a large truck, and Sarah died by suicide.
There are countless World War II films that focus on the fate of the Jews, and this film once again indicts the Nazi atrocities against humanity from one perspective, once again awakening our thinking about life, humanity, commitment and family.
About life. The horrors of the war made life fragile, and the lives of the Nazis were like grass. Peaceful and quiet times make people cherish life, but sometimes, death is a kind of relief and struggle, and the woman who jumps from the stadium stands is not cowardice and fear, she is pursuing the dignity of life.
About human nature. The Nazis were ruthless and hateful, but even under the most inhuman harsh government, there was still a faint glow of humanity shining. Sarah and her friends were fleeing the camp when they were spotted by a French policeman, and in the face of Sarah's pleas, his heart softened, and at that moment, the brilliance of humanity was hidden in his eyes. In order to escape the pursuit, Sarah and the two hide in the kennel, and the dog owner and the old couple risk their lives to deceive the police and save Sarah's life, and then disguise themselves and take her back to Paris to rescue her brother in the closet. Human nature is the most tenacious, even if it is in danger of giving life to show that it is still in danger, good people are still happy to do it.
About affection. Sarah's parents regretted several times that they had not been able to take their brother Michelle with them, and although they would face death, it would be better to die together. The children under the age of twelve in the concentration camp were forced to separate from their mothers, crying and crying with broken hearts and lungs, breaking their arms, stumbling toward each other's footsteps, at that moment, the guns and bullets were not enough to be afraid, and they only had relatives in their eyes.
About commitments. A promise of gold. The promise is based on the most basic trust, and Sarah locks him in the closet for her brother's safety, warning him not to make a sound and waiting for her to come back to save him. The younger brother kept his promise, and the four-year-old child did not say a word, no water and no food, only the darkness of the sky, but the child believed that his sister would come back, and he obediently did not say a word until the end of his life. From the moment she left home, her only wish was to escape control, return home and open the closet, let her brother out, and let him live.
The key was a symbol, it did not open the door of the closet, and from then on it also closed the door of Sarah's heart, leaving her unable to extricate herself from the purgatory of her own repentance and pain, and she comforted her brother's life with her own life.
A promise, Sarah paid with her life.
