Chapter 730: This world is cruel, but I want you to live in a fairy tale forever
Entering the concentration camp dormitory, Guido and Joshua were shocked.
Because there are actually hundreds of people in the small dormitory.
Guido still looked as if he was really playing a game with his son. Among the many people whose faces were full of numbness and despair, he seemed so conspicuous.
He still looked nonchalant and praised the environment here as being really good.
At this moment, all the moviegoers were silent.
They didn't expect that the plot would develop like this.
"It's dirty and smelly here. I want to go to my mother's place!" Joshua was not a fool.
He was so well cared for by Guido and Dora, and he was so young, he was only five years old!
"We will!" Guido said, still smiling.
"I'm hungry!" Joshua said.
Guido saw the pain in his eyes and felt it in his heart, but he could only smile and say: "We will have something to eat."
"They are all fierce, shouting and drinking!" Joshua said, and the camera panned to a man wearing prison uniform next to him.
Guido could only continue to lie to him: "They have to be cruel, everyone is competing for the first prize!"
"When can I see my mother?" Joshua asked.
"As soon as the game is over!" Guido replied.
"When will the game end?" Joshua asked again.
Guido could only continue to make up lies: "You have to get a thousand points, and whoever gets a thousand points will get the tank!"
It's just such a lame lie, but Joshua doesn't quite believe it: "I don't believe it. Do we have some snacks?"
Guido paused for a moment: "There are so many acquaintances here, let me go and ask!"
Guido asked someone randomly: "Is the person who sent out the jam bread here?"
The other party showed an ugly smile.
Guido said to his son again: "What bad luck, we just missed it!"
"But he will come again, right? He will come again!"
At this time, a sergeant from the concentration camp came in and asked if anyone knew German.
Guido didn't understand at all, so he asked Balto, whom he had just met, what was he talking about?
Balto told him that he was looking for someone who could speak German to explain the rules of the concentration camp.
No one responded, but Guido raised his hand.
Balto asked him doubtfully: "Do you know German?"
Guido shook his head and said, "I don't understand!"
But under Balto's shocked eyes, he walked up to the sergeant.
The sergeant began to announce the rules of the concentration camp.
He said: "You all listen to me: I will only say this once, you were brought here for only one purpose, which is to work!"
Guido didn't understand it at all, but he opened his mouth and said: "As long as you come, let it be, let the game begin!"
"The first one to score a thousand points wins! The prize is a real tank! What a lucky guy!"
Everything he did was for his son.
The sergeant added: "If any of you slack off in your work, I will use the gun on my shoulder to shoot you to death in the square!"
But when it came to Guido, it became: "Every day the broadcast announces who is the lucky one! The one with the least score will have a 'idiot' sign hanging on his back!"
"We soldiers act like bad guys, shouting and drinking! Whoever is afraid will score less,"
The sergeant added:
"You must not forget these three basic rules:
Don't try to escape
2. Obey every command
Anyone who resists will be hanged!"
Guido only saw the sergeant raise three fingers.
He still couldn't understand what the other party said, but he said in the same tone: "In three cases, you will lose all your points!"
"DD!
Two, I need to find my mother!
Three, if you’re hungry, have some snacks!
Don’t be delusional!”
Although Guido was talking nonsense, his tone and actions were very similar to those of the sergeant, so the other party didn't notice anything was wrong.
"You have to work here. No one can disobey orders! Everyone must obey orders!"
"It's easy to lose points when you're hungry. I lost 40 points yesterday because I had to eat jam bread..."
"When you hear the whistle, you must gather on the playground and line up two people in a line!"
"You don't have any lollipops to eat, so give them all to us! I ate twenty of them yesterday..."
"Because I'm playing hide and seek, I have to leave, otherwise I will be caught..."
In fact, this section is a bit absurd. In a place like the concentration camp, it is impossible for such a thing to happen.
But a movie is a movie after all.
The audience in the theater was always worried whether Guido would be discovered.
However, everything is just an illusion. The horror and inhumanity of the concentration camps are real.
On the first day of work, Guido couldn't stand it anymore.
But after learning that if he didn't work, he would be killed, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Because he still has to protect his son, who is only five years old!
He still needs to find Dora, but he doesn't know how she is doing now.
Joshua stayed alone in the dormitory, enduring hunger and fear.
At the end of the day, everyone almost fell asleep from exhaustion as soon as they touched the bed.
Guido came back. Even though he was still walking unsteadily on the same tired road, he still had a smile on his face when he saw his son.
But he couldn't even hold his son.
But he still looked extremely optimistic and showed his prison uniform to his son.
"Look, my uniform looks good, right?"
Guido also fabricated various lies to try to convince his son that they were really playing a game.
He asked Joshua if he played with other children?
Joshua said they didn't understand the rules and said the first prize was not a tank...
"Don't believe them, they are cunning. They want to win you, don't believe them!"
Guido endured his exhaustion and spoke to his son seriously.
"How many points did we get today?" Joshua asked innocently and expectantly.
"fifty points!"
"No, it's forty-eight. They deducted two points from me! Because I fell while playing hopscotch!" Guido continued to make up lies.
"We had a lot of fun today and really enjoyed it. We can't wait for tomorrow to come! We can play hopscotch, tug-of-war... go round and round... there are so many games, I can't even remember them!"
Listening to his father's words, Joshua's face showed a smile of great anticipation and curiosity.
Yes, they tortured people in so many ways that he couldn't even imagine!
Guido asked again: "Have you eaten anything?"
Joshua said proudly: "I ate, but I didn't have any snacks!"
As if he had done something extraordinary.
Guido said quickly: "Good boy, even you got 12 points!"
"I'm 48, you're 12, we got a total of sixty points!"
He took out the hard bread, which he was reluctant to eat because he was worried that his son would starve, and said it was a prize.
At this time, the injured Balto came back and said: "I almost died, I received 20!"
Joshua happily leaned into Guido's ear and said: "We have a higher score than him!"
Of course Guido knew that the twenty that Balto mentioned was not a game score at all, but he still cooperated with his son and said: "Keep your voice down, we are ahead, don't tell him!"
As if this is really just a game.
But no one could laugh. Instead, looking at the child's innocent smile, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
The horrors of the concentration camps were far more than that.
As for the female prisoners, Dora thought that the female soldiers in the concentration camp were conscientious in not letting children and the elderly work, but soon someone around her told her that although they did not have to work, they would die!
They would ask the children to take a bath and say, "The children have taken a bath! But in fact they are going to the gas chambers!"
This suddenly made Dora's heart sink, and she began to worry extremely about her son Joshua.
Not only Dora was worried, but the audience's hearts were also worried.
The camera turns!
When Guido carried the extremely heavy anvil and climbed up step by step, he kept saying: "How can I hold on!"
Yes, how can he hold on, but he has to hold on, maybe death is a relief, but he still has his son Joshua and his wife Dora.
This is the source of motivation for him to grit his teeth and persevere!
But at this moment, his son Joshua ran over.
Guido finally panicked and asked quickly: "Why did you come here? Why didn't you stay with the children?"
Joshua said: "They said all children have to take a bath today, but I don't want to take a bath!"
Guido didn't know the truth about the so-called bathing, and he said to Joshua: "Go take a bath!"
But Joshua shouted loudly, "No, I won't go!"!
Joshua suddenly asked again: "What are you doing here?"
Guido continued to make up lies and said: "Build tanks!"
Seeing that Joshua was unwilling to take a bath, Guido threatened to tell his mother and deduct ten points.
But he still didn't let him go by himself, but asked him to hide first and wait for him to come with him!
Joshua escaped disaster because he was unwilling to take a shower.
When Guido found out about taking a bath, he was terrified. He told Joshua that he would hide in the dormitory every day, no matter who he met, especially those who were shouting and drinking. Otherwise, points would be deducted.
On the other side, Dora was desperately picking up the pile of clothes of the Jews who were thrown into the gas chambers and killed. There was also a cat among them, which reminded everyone that the person holding the cat was a little girl. The cat
Here, but where are the children?
She was worried that Joshua would also take a "bath", and she was even more afraid of finding Joshua's clothes in the pile of clothes!
But here she can't get information about her husband and son at all.
After Guido knew that Dora had also followed him to the training camp, he always tried his best to contact Dora and never missed any opportunity to convey the message to his wife that he was still safe. On this day, he pushed the cart and wrote the appointment letter
Put it in the bucket truck.
Suddenly I saw the soldiers leaving the broadcast room.
He took Joshua secretly into the broadcast room.
"Good morning, princess. Last night, I dreamed about you all night long. We went to the movies and you were wearing a pink suit. I like your suit very much. I only have you in my mind, princess." Guido broadcast through the loudspeaker.
Showing his longing for Dora.
This is to encourage Dora and convey love and warmth to her.
"Mom, Dad put me in the stroller. He couldn't push me at all. He laughed until my stomach hurt! We are ahead. How many points are there today?"
"Run quickly, the shouting bad guys are behind us!"
Dora almost couldn't believe it when she heard the voices of her son and husband, who had been worried for a long time.
But she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The son didn't take a bath, and the husband was still alive. He could always bring surprises to her when she needed it most.
When the doctor examined the body, Guido recognized him and reminded the doctor of him with the riddle.
Guido felt hopeful that the doctor might be able to help them get out of here.
When he came back, Joshua was hiding under the bed. He was frightened.
The horrors of the concentration camps were far more than what they saw. Joshua heard that in the concentration camps, they threw people into the furnaces to make soap and buttons. These shots and words suddenly made the entire atmosphere depressive and pale. It made people not only think of
I was horrified when I saw the scene where Hitler poisoned more than four million Jews.
The relaxed atmosphere that Guido worked so hard to create before, at this moment, everything turned pale.
This is a purgatory-like concentration camp.
After Guido heard this, he felt unspeakable fear and tremor in his heart, but he still could only act exaggeratedly, smiling and telling Joshua not to believe it.
These are all tactics used by those people to scare away competitors and win.
In order to make Joshua feel relieved, he also deliberately pretended to take Joshua away without tanking.
This success aroused the competitive spirit of Joshua's children, and they took the initiative to stay.
Guido can always understand the thoughts of Joshua and Dora, but he has to bear all the pain silently, and he cannot even show the slightest expression of fear, because that will make Joshua suspicious.
Because he knew the doctor, Guido was assigned to serve as a waiter at a military family gathering in Japan.
He thought this doctor could save him. The doctor arranged for his son to have dinner with a group of German children, but the secret would be revealed as soon as he opened his mouth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, as soon as Joshua opened his mouth, the waiter informed the female sergeant that Guido knew that the secret was exposed.
I had an idea and taught all the children to say "thank you" in Italian!
Let Joshua escape successfully!
The doctor created several opportunities to talk to Guido alone, but something unexpected always happened. Just when Guido thought the doctor would tell him how to escape, the doctor excitedly told him a riddle, all about riddles.
The incident did not mention anything about helping Guido and Joshua, or Dora escape from the concentration camp.
The doctor didn't want to help them escape at all. He temporarily helped them just because he wanted him to help him solve the riddle. When Guido discovered that he didn't care about their life or death, and was just addicted to his own game, some
Left in despair.
It can be said that it is extremely ironic here. The "very important" thing to the doctor is his unsolved mystery. And when Guidodo mentioned that his wife was also imprisoned here, the doctor just said "Ah"
, and what he was hesitant to talk about was still his puzzle. The last time the doctor simply got straight to the point, and what they talked about was still his puzzle. He thought that the German doctor could help him, but he didn’t expect that the poor German doctor
The doctor was actually waiting for Guido's help.
When Guido was thinking of ways to protect his family's life, the German doctor could not sleep because of an insignificant puzzle. It was really ironic.
Maybe it’s the romance in his bones, or maybe it’s his love for his wife that trumps everything. His princess didn’t have to suffer with him, but she resolutely followed him. So, my princess, I can do more for you.
Order something?
So he came to the gramophone and suddenly found a disc of music that he and his princess had listened to together.
He put the butterfly on the gramophone, opened the window, and turned the big speaker of the gramophone to face the window, because in this way the music could be transmitted to the women's concentration camp and his princess would hear it.
The smoky concentration camp was full of fear and despair, a human hell where no one could see the slightest hope. However, the melody of this music seemed to break through the darkness, bringing a glimmer of light and hope to his princess!
He is telling his princess in this way that hope is still there!
But he himself didn't know if there was still hope.
He can only do what he can. He is a husband and a father, and he plays these two roles to the best of his ability.
The concentration camp was still surrounded by smoke. Guido held Joshua in his arms: "Where are we? I may have gone the wrong way. Good boy, go to sleep and have a sweet dream. Maybe it is just a dream now. We are dreaming. About
Shua, mom will wake us up tomorrow morning and bring milk and biscuits for us to eat first..."
The audience discovered that this scene was actually the scene at the beginning of the film.
But at this moment, the theater was filled with depression. They say that the best comedy has tragedy at its core.
It can be said that it is displayed vividly here.
Even though Guido still looks optimistic, even though he can always say a lot of funny things.
But no one could laugh.
The movie does not describe much of the cruel despair of the concentration camps. It is mostly shown from the side, through dialogue, and through some small details.
Such as the pile of clothes of people who were poisoned to death, such as the cat that was first held by a little girl, and as Joshua heard, they made people into soap, buttons, etc., undoubtedly all
In explaining, except for Joshua, this place thinks it is a game, but for others, it is a desperate purgatory that cannot be escaped.
Guido, who suddenly lost his way, never showed fear. The man who showed fear suddenly showed an expression of fear, because he saw the pile of corpses piled up in the fog!
This was the first time in the entire film that he was frightened.
It also made him completely aware of what kind of place he, his wife, uncle, and son were in.
Dawn seems to be coming, and all the soldiers in Japan are deserting.
Guido and the other people detained in the concentration camp thought they could leave.
But Guido still asked: "Where are the women? What will happen to them?"
Balto just replied naturally: "They want to destroy everything!"
Perhaps it was this sentence that made Guido choose to take his son Joshua to find Dora, his princess, even when the dawn was about to come!
But he also knew that it was a risky move for him to go to Dora, and it was not safe to leave the concentration camp dormitory because Balto told him that those cars would go out full and come back empty.
So, he brought Joshua out and told his son that the game would end tomorrow morning and there would be an awards ceremony. If you avoid tonight, you will get sixty points.
He made his son hide in the box!
He gave his final instructions to his son: "I'll lure them away!"
He ran to the women's concentration camp and saw many women being loaded into cars. He knew he had to find Dora, his princess.
But he also knew that this was very dangerous, but he had to go, that was his princess! How could he feel at ease if he couldn't see her safe?
He ran back, found his son, took away the blanket, and asked his son to take off his coat, mainly because he needed to disguise himself and sneak into the women's concentration camp.
He warned his son again: "Even if I come back after a long time, don't move or come out until there is no sound or anyone left!"
He didn't feel comfortable asking Joshua to repeat it again.
He kissed Joshua on the forehead one last time and left in a hurry.
He rolled up his trousers and wrapped the blanket around his waist, making it look like a skirt...
But suddenly I heard a dog barking non-stop.
He saw Joshua's hiding place, and a dog kept barking at the box.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He had no choice but to try the "magic" taught to him by his friend Philu.
Finally, the "magic" worked again, and the Japanese soldier took the dog and left.
Guido breathed a sigh of relief and wrapped his son's clothes around his head.
Then we headed towards the women’s concentration camp.
The truck was still loading women into the truck, and Guido knew that once he was put into the truck, he would never be able to come back.
This made him even more nervous. He got into the group of women and shouted everywhere: "Dora, Dora, is there anyone named Dora?"
He dodged the searchlight and finally arrived at the dormitory of the women's concentration camp.
But the place was already deserted.
He ran out again and saw a truck full of women. He chased after him and asked, "Have you seen my wife? Her name is Dora!"
A woman named Dora came out, but she was not his princess!
The truck drove forward, and he followed behind it.
He loudly told the women that as soon as the truck arrives outside, you will jump out of the truck and run away!
Because he knew that if he didn't escape, he would never come back.
But at this time, he was discovered by a female soldier, who blew the whistle.
Soon, Japanese soldiers caught up with him.
He was caught!
He knows what this means.
Suddenly, he who was walking with his head down turned around and saw Joshua's eyes in the small iron box staring at him, a pair of bright, clear, moving eyes. He suddenly blinked, and Joshua blinked too.
Eyes, a blink, a farewell. But this time, it is likely to be a farewell forever!
He suddenly laughed exaggeratedly, with his usual flamboyant joy, and made faces back at him, and also kicked his stride with waving hands and feet. He was clearly a proud winner of the game. It was just like when he was taken there
It was like that at the city hall, as if telling Joshua that I would be back soon.
Joshua stared at him, he smiled funny, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were arranged in layers; but when he reached a place where Joshua could not see the slits despite squeezing his eyes, he looked back frequently, he was confirming, confirming that he was here
When Joshua no longer had any doubts, he lowered his head with confidence and walked with his head lowered like countless Jews, with nostalgia and comfort clearly written on his face. He was quietly escorted around the corner, and a car drove by with a bang.
At the entrance of the alley, there was a burst of gunfire; after a while, the Japanese soldiers came out, and then no one came out from the corner.
The camera stayed on the smoky corner for three seconds. Seeing this, countless viewers began to shed tears uncontrollably, and their hearts trembled tightly.
What is father's love? It is probably Guido's three steps, letting his son live in a huge lie and a huge tenderness.
In such a difficult situation, Guido built a paradise in the hearts of Dora and his son. The son played the games set for him by his father without any distractions, and Dora felt the love that Guido gave her time and time again.
warmth.
But he is still a human being. The little prince and princess are his source of strength to stay optimistic and persevere, but they are also his weakness.
Maybe if Guido had not gone to find his wife, he might have survived, but that was his princess, and it was impossible for him not to have gone to find her.
After all, the paradise of paradise did not wait for a family reunion.
Until the next morning, he didn't come back. It was all because it was no longer necessary. He was also a human being. He carried a double share of darkness, fear, hatred, and despair. He carried it on his back without saying a word.
Carrying it on his back together with his son's share; it takes a lot of courage and deep love. He has had enough, seeing that the child can still have a healthy and sunny life after experiencing this inhumane war.
Psychologically, he was very relieved that death no longer frightened him.
In the early morning, as the last batch of prisoners evacuated the concentration camp, the survivors of the concentration camp slowly walked out.
Joshua kept listening to his father's words and waited until no one was around and there was no sound, then he crawled out of the small box.
Joshua won, he got the real tank that belonged to him, and followed his princess mother on his way home. He won, and won the real "beautiful life".
"This is my life experience, this is the sacrifice my father made! This is the grace my father gave me!"
The dark tones of the lens are gone, replaced by sunshine!
Joshua smiled, the sun came out, he kissed his mother, and her mother kissed him. His beautiful life had just begun.
It turns out that a beautiful life does not mean having enough food and clothing, holding great power, having a lot of servants, or bringing all the love and luck in the world to you. It just means letting me know that you love me and love me the most in this world.
But the price was to exchange his father's life. Guido used his own life to turn into sunshine, illuminating his son's beautiful life and all the darkness in the world.
It's just that his princess can no longer hear him say: "Good morning! Princess!"
No one will play games with little prince Joshua anymore.
