"The Hidden Life"-the epic of unsung heroes fighting for the truth, they deserve their names

2 The theme of the movie. In the past, many movies that reflected the theme of war mostly showed that war, such as the "meat grinder", made the invaded people live in dire straits.This reflects the cruelty of the war, and it also shows that an individual among the aggressors is dissatisfied with the war and helps the invaded as much as possible. The novelty of the film is to show the price that ordinary sober individuals have to pay to resist the hypnosis of collective will in war, and the price that individuals and collectives have to pay for the righteous struggle.

The plot itself is not complicated. It tells the family of Franz and his wife Franzska, a farmer in a small Austrian town, living a peaceful life. After the outbreak of World War II, Franz was drafted into the army. All soldiers must swear allegiance to the Nazis. The training and ideological impact in the barracks made him deeply doubt the essential purpose of the war, and he returned to his hometown. Franz began to express his attitude to local officials and priests and refused to participate in the war. This aroused strong reprimand and ostracism from the locals, who could hardly gain a foothold in the town. At the same time, Franz was forced to return to the barracks again. He would rather be punished than participate in training until he was thrown into prison and the Nazi court sentenced him to death.

The main characters in the film live in a picturesque Austrian town. The once beautiful fairy tale kingdom has been covered with clouds, and the shadow of war has captured the hearts of the people here, which is very different from the blue sky and green land here. Commensurate. War is everywhere, and no one can escape the ravages of war, because war not only destroys people’s bodies and homes, but is also a mental poison. It spreads silently to places where there is no gunpowder, triggering spiritual disturbances. Nuclear explosion, therefore, the negative impact of war is far more serious than people think.

Farmer Franz and his wife are working in the fields. Their muscles and bones are full of strength, which also represents the tenacity in their bones. However, the war twists their bones and souls. In the film, ordinary people like Franz no longer serve as the background board of the big era, but have their own thinking, afraid of being dragged down by the nightmare after the human choice, so people who can think will suffer, Fran Ci knew that he was "not allowed", he would rather resist in his own way alone than live like the people around him.A person who has been awakened can only be awakened forever. He must face life in the most painful way. This is his destiny.

"The Hidden Life" discusses the topic of "pain" and "loneliness" through Franz. It is full of philosophical thinking about life, like human babbling and reverie, intercepting the most intense and abstract body expression language. The shaking lens gives a strong emotional color of restlessness and anxiety, showing the original sin that people wear because of the war.

The "pain" of the characters in the film comes from the confrontation between the individual and the collective, the confrontation between justice and evil, the confrontation between individual justice and collective evil, and the wisdom, self-esteem, and independence of the individual have been unprecedented Challenge. The slow pace of the film lengthens everyone's pain, and shows the protracted, especially little-known spiritual destruction that the war has brought to people.

"Loneliness" comes from free thoughts not willing to be dusted. Compared with the Nazi group’s urgent plan of aggression, the characters in this story are slowly thinking, expressing, making choices, considering their own choices in war, how to distinguish the righteous position, and be consistent with it, no matter what you pay Kind of price. When people resist the will of others, they especially want "divine help", but very few get what they want. Then who is in control of the fate of ordinary people and supreme gods?

In the film, the inner monologues written by Franz and Franziska to each other are interspersed with voiceovers in separate fragments of life. The language reflects the reflection of the characters in the field of religious philosophy. Franz found in prison life that people without the ability to think logically lived more freely and peacefully, while Franziska discovered that these people were born with uncontrolled and indistinguishable evil.They all hope to jump out of this cycle, but "the good and the wicked share a piece of sunshine", history will never be able to do so.

In addition, the film is very good at expressing the inner world of the characters by using the interactive relationship between man, nature and social environment. It is integrated with the body, expression and language of the character. The structure of the picture and the light are exquisite and it is very impactful. And sustained release.

Franz was sentenced to death for insisting on the justice in his heart. Even if the war is about to end, he does not accept any compromises to survive. It turns out that many people only believe in God when God is useful, and pursue benefits when it is useless. Does the justice insisted by individuals have to be collectively certified to be effective? What is the connotation and scope of justice?

The movie "The Hidden Life" is a personal heroic epic set in World War II. Someone died for upholding the truth, and they deserve their names.
