王大花的革命生涯

In the early 1940s, the war of resistance against Japan was in full swing, and it had reached a critical juncture. Crazy Japanese imperialism wreak havoc on the living power of the CCP's underground party and many revolutionary comrades sacrificed vigorously. Underground party member Xia Jia He was assigned by the organization to prepare to take the radio to Dalian. He was hunted and blocked by Japanese Police Officer Junji Aoki on the way. When there was nowhere to go, Xia actually met his first love, Wang Da Hua. Taking this as an opportunity, Da Hua and current husband Tang Quan Li were involved in this series of events. Da Hua Qing broke her family and wanted to save her husband, but could not change her husband's fate. Da Hua thus hated Xia Jia He, who had harmed her and lost her happy life, so she seized the radio station and did not return it to the other party.

Shoah

Director Claude Lanzmann spent 11 years on this sprawling documentary about the Holocaust, conducting his own interviews and refusing to use a single frame of archival footage. This epic documentary changed the way we think about the Holocaust. Featuring interviews with survivors, bystanders, and perpetrators from across Europe, mostly Poland and Germany, Shoah is drawn from over 300 hours of contemporary conversations with these witnesses, along with footage of overgrown sites of unspeakable horrors, including the concentration camp at Auschwitz. The monumental film grew out of Lanzmann's concern that the genocide perpetrated only 40 years earlier was already being forgotten. In response, he relied entirely on accounts from witnesses, rather than historical footage or reenactments, sometimes resorting to hidden cameras or other deceptions to coax stories and memories from those with whom he spoke.
