There have been five incidents in my memory about the genocide
The first is the German genocide of Jews, the second is the Rwanda genocide
the third is the red high The cotton massacre, the fourth is the Bosnia-Herzegovina Serb massacre, and the fifth is the Nanjing Massacre
In fact, some genocide theories and racial pros and cons in certain countries and regions have never disappeared
However, I recently discovered that a movie is also about genocide
The whole movie will make people feel extremely depressed when watching the whole movie
(Maybe my psychological endurance is relatively poor, and I also once watched this movie. Was shocked)
This movie is highly rated and considered to be one of the best Polish movies , but the author advises most friends not to try to watch this movie lightly, especially the full version, because of the degree of shock It may be far beyond your imagination
. But in line with the purpose of recommending a good movie, I think it is still necessary to tell you about this Polish anti-war movie-"Span4span Warren_" span5span "
Although this is not a horror movie, it is more scary and bloody than any horror movie.
The film is adapted from the ethnic cleansing of Poles by the people of in the Warren region during World War II Ukraine-the Warren Massacre.
100,000 Poles were brutally killed, mostly unarmed women and children.
This film won eight awards including the Polish Film Award for Best Picture, Director, and Editor.
Before World War II, the Warren area had always been a common settlement of Ukrainians, Poles and Jews under Polish rule.
Poles have always been wealthy farmers and upper class, possessing rich social resources, while Ukrainians have become the bottom of poor peasant society.
Ukrainians believe in Orthodox Church and Poles believe in Catholicism. The difference in religious beliefs has also exacerbated the contradictions between the two ethnic groups.
In the movie, the Orthodox priest actively mobilizes the Ukrainians to liquidate the Poles.
In the film, the tragic life experience of a Polish girl Sophia is used to tell the audience that bloody past that happened in the Warren area.
The film begins with Sofia’s sister’s wedding.
As a Polish sister married a handsome Ukrainian boy, the people of the two ethnic groups sang and danced on the festive wedding.
But under the celebration, ethnic conflicts have gradually begun to intensify.
Sophia's brother-in-law was discriminated against because of marrying a Polish girl, and the guests were also talking about it.
There is a crisis hidden under calm.
Sophia fell in love with a Ukrainian boy, but her parents married her to a Polish widower for a generous dowry.
Soon, World War II broke out and the situation was tense.
The war quickly intensified the contradictions between the two nations, and Sophia, who was in the chaos of the war, began a miserable life.
In a short period of time, the Warren area regime has been constantly changing, and the people of all ethnic groups living here are living in dire straits.
First change of regime:
From 1939 to 1941, the Bolshevik Red regime swept the Warren region.
The slogan "Down with the landlord" resounded throughout the region, and Sofia's husband and family were exiled.
Sophia was rescued by her Ukrainian boyfriend, but her boyfriend was killed by a Russian officer because he could not afford to redeem Sofia's vodka.
Second change of regime:
In 1941-1943, the German Nazis occupied the Warren area, and the German slaughter, which regarded the Jews as low-ranking men, began to sack.
The hunger panic massacre enveloped the sky over Warren. Sophia's husband was retaliated by cutting off the chicken thief's arm, and his head was cut off and sent back to Sophia.
Sophia becomes a widow, and life is even more difficult.
The third regime change:
In 1943-1944, after the German retreat, the Ukrainian rebels began a genocidal massacre against the Poles.
Sophia witnessed everyone around her being mutilated to death by various perverted methods, her sister and brother-in-law were also brutally killed, and her sister was decapitated on the spot.
In the process of fleeing, only the surrounding corpses could be seen everywhere, bloody everywhere.
In the end, Sophia flees into the forest with her son in despair.
In the absence of food and clothing, the mother and child eventually fell, and were divided by hungry wild wolves.
Finally,The mother and son crossed the border to be picked up by the first love, but Sophia's illusion when she died.
The filming scale is very large, and it reproduces the details of the tragic massacre very realistically.
The bloody and violent dismemberment, burning, peeling, and head cutting are seen everywhere in the film.

Movie pictures:
The most shocking and terrifying part of this film is not the scenes of these killings, but the transformation of the humanity of the two peoples catalyzed by the war.
In the old days, the villagers who laughed and cursed at the common labor in the farmland, and the companions who played intimately, turned into a murderous monster overnight.
The hoes, sickles, and axes that are usually used have all become tools for killing. There is only endless perverted killings between the two races.
The most terrifying thing is some mixed-race families. Ukrainian extremists once asked a Ukrainian husband and Polish wife to kill their mother, so that they could survive. The son of course refused, so he was killed together with his mother.
Some Ukrainians who were not crazy yet refused to participate in the brutal massacre, and were killed by extremists. For this reason, a Ukrainian teenager saw his uncle alive with a saw...
Polish inscription on the Warren Massacre monument in Poland: If I forget them, God, please also forget me.
