It is said that great literary works are great because they have deeply painted complex human nature. I don't know what "human nature" is and how "complex" it is, and I can't give an accurate definition in words. During the epidemic prevention period, I saw more stories of joys and sorrows (it seems only sorrows and separations), so I remembered a movie called "Eavesdropping Storm", found out and relived it, and gradually seemed to understand "human nature".
is "Eavesdropping Storm", not "Eavesdropping Storm" by Louis Koo. The play is a German film. It is said that it swept through the major European film awards and won the 2007 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. It ranked 39th on the Douban TOP250 with a score of 9.1. The protagonist of the
movie, Weissman, is a member of the former East German spy agency Stasi. Stasi is said to be the most efficient intelligence and secret police organization in the world. It is responsible for monitoring and monitoring all people who are considered to be potentially dangerous. The person under surveillance takes measures such as admonition, interrogation, and detention at any time.
Weissman, who is loyal and ruthless to the regime, is one of the leaders in this organization. He voluntarily asked to monitor the well-known dramatist Dreman and his wife Christina. However, during the surveillance process, the sincere and pure life of the Delemans and the hypocritical and shameless faces of their bosses prompted Weissman's transformation-from sympathy to understanding, and then replaced with insignificant content in the monitoring report. Deleman helped him hide evidence when he was about to fall into danger due to an article. The playwright was saved, and Weisman was demoted to the basement as a letter opener due to poor monitoring. From a monitor to a protector, Weissman has completed the transformation from a state machine to a human being. This process is also a process in which human nature begins to sprout and grow up. In the
movie, Weisman was deeply moved when he read Brecht's poems, and he left long-lost tears when he listened to Dleman playing Beethoven's sonata. It can be seen that sometimes, many things in human nature are interlinked.
Sometimes people are not confused between true and false, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, but because they are used to the sympathy and worship of power. Power can sometimes arouse the greatest evil in human nature. Facing the destiny of the controlled person, the controller often has the pleasure of cats and mice, although these pleasures are often flattered when facing higher powers. Stimulated by the humiliation of China, wooing and bullying are two sides of the same thing in the political ecology. What we don't know is how the two police officers felt when admonishing Dr. Li Wenliang?
Many times, in an instant, people can complete their self-foreclosure: in the face of young people who cross the Berlin Wall, you can raise the muzzle by one centimeter; in the face of small street vendors, persuade them to leave instead of You can smash the mess; it is also possible for you to pretend to be invisible in the face of those who are not allowed to tell the truth. There is an old Chinese saying, "Practice in the public gate" actually refers to these principles. Powerful people with a touch of kindness can benefit the public more. It is a hundred times stronger than eating fast and reciting the Buddha in a temple.
There is another depressing tidbit about "Eavesdropping Storm". This film has received praise from almost everyone. In addition to the former director of the East German Prison Museum, he even refused the director’s request for shooting. The reason is: this is not. In line with historical facts, in the decades of East Germany's history, secret policemen like Weissmann who "discovered by conscience" "I'm sorry, there are none."
In the early autumn of September, every day is melancholy.
Those straight little trees are facing the sky
grow like love
is a clear blue sky above your head
The sky is floating with a cotton-like white cloud
And as long as you are in your heart Have faith
It will never leave you
——Brecht "Reminiscence of Marianne"
