There are some histories that are destined to be people's pain, but they have to face up to it and have to choose to remember.
For example, the Nanjing Massacre, although it was a great humiliation, is a fact that people cannot choose to forget.
Then there are the Jews and the concentration camps, and the Nazi Party in Germany!
And the movie I want to talk about today is related to this painful history, the story is still very painful, but I still can't help but share it with you.
The name of the movie is "Persian Language Lesson", and the domestic schedule is March 19th of this year, but unfortunately I did not notice it in advance and failed to go to the theater to support it.
The film Douban score of 8.2, or very good.
Director Vadim Perelman directed "Dusty Homeland," which received three Oscar nominations and a Golden Globe nomination.
Although he does not direct many works, the quality is quite high.
The lead actor, Naville Perez Biscayate, also won many awards for "120 Hits Per Minute" and "You Are Mine".
The cast of this movie is still good, the director is strong, and the actors are also acting online.
Having said all this, let's take a look at what this film says~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The story is set during World War II, and the male protagonist is a Jew, but unfortunately, he was arrested in a concentration camp with many Jews.
He saw his companions being brutally killed one by one, and in order to save his life, he chose to fall down early and pretend to die during strafing.
Unfortunately, he was discovered, but fortunately he exchanged half a loaf of bread for a Persian book, and he lied that he was a Persian and escaped the disaster.
Some people dissected the reason, on the one hand, there was an officer looking for the Persians, so the soldiers did not shoot.
On the other hand, because the Persians and Nazis were of the same lineage and diplomatically friendly with Germany, they could not be killed at will.
The male protagonist was sent to the officer, and some people questioned whether he was really a Persian, but no one present knew Persian, there was no way to verify, plus the male protagonist had a book called the Persian family in his hand, and could only believe him temporarily.
The officer asked the man to teach him Persian, but the man was a Jew, where would he know any Persian?
But in order to survive, he used several languages and the names of the Jews imprisoned in the concentration camps as root words, and mixed together to create a new language, creating thousands of new words. Behind every word, there is a living life.
Because the officers didn't speak Persian and hadn't had much contact with persians, they foolishly followed suit.
While working in the kitchen, the male protagonist has to create language and teach the officer to learn his self-created "Persian language"~ ~~
Over time, the officer also became somewhat dependent on the male protagonist, and sometimes protected him from death.
The officers also thought they were proficient in Persian and had great power.
The male protagonist also spends every day in fear, because he does not know when he will die.
One day the concentration camp really came a real Persian, a RAF pilot, who was captured in the camp.
The audience and the male protagonist's heart are hanging, because as soon as the real Persian comes, won't the male protagonist, the fake Persian, reveal the stuffing?
The ending is left for everyone to reveal, which is a suspense!
The success of this film lies in the shaping of the role, and the male protagonist relies on this dignified way to survive, which is itself very mysterious.
Because combined with the plot behind, as long as the officers and subordinates pay a little attention to the list of Jews killed in the concentration camp, they will find that something is wrong, and they can expose the loopholes in the male protagonist's own language.
But the Nazis paid no attention to it, which was very mysterious.
But it also shows that the Nazis despised and ignored Jewish life.
There are also many works of the same type that seem to be a bit mysterious, such as "Fake Captain" shared with you before, with a piece of the captain's army obeying the slaughtered, becoming the demon who slaughtered his comrades.
These works can greatly drive the audience's adrenaline, because success is alive, and being exposed is a death.
However, for this film, some viewers feel that the officer is more plump than the image setting of the male protagonist.
He did not love Germany and the Nazis, nor did he hate the Jews, he came from the bottom step by step to sit in the officer's seat, he was keen on decency and life, the massacre of Jews, perhaps not he was willing, just an accomplice ~ ~ ~ ~
But because of the male protagonist, let people see his sensitive, naïve and fragile side.
He spoke in German coldly, toughly and fiercely.
But when he communicates with people in the fake Persian language created by the male protagonist, he shows shyness and vulnerability, so many people say that he is "the evil of mediocrity"!
There are also plots that suggest that he is obsessive-compulsive, saying that his brother fled to Tehran, when the German army persecuted not only Jews but also homosexuals.
So some people speculate that his lover broke with him because he joined the Nazis and fled to Tehran
Moreover, the officers also stuttered, but did not stutter when learning fake Persian, and when they were caught, they resumed stuttering, which is a symbol of the collapse of self-confidence.
His series of encounters, in fact, also shows that he is also a marginal figure in the army, he is not absolutely evil, nor is he absolutely good, but it is this contradictory setting that makes the audience feel that this character is written too beautifully and too richly.
Although the actor Russ Edinger is not very famous, when playing this role, the acting skills are really good and very impressive.
The history of the Nazis and the Jews is heavy and painful, and every once in a while there will be film and television works flowing out.
I personally think this is good, let people not forget the pain, do not forget the bad effects of the killing, the victims should not forget their own scars, always be vigilant, beware of the recurrence of history.
But this kind of subject is too heavy and serious, and the average director really dares not touch it, but this caution is also people's respect for history!
