1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 515, The Age of Movies (3)

Then the content of the movie turned to concentration camps. In order to fight against the heroic Boer guerrillas, the British began to adopt the concentration camp system. Annie's family was locked up in a concentration camp. And their houses and farms were also burned down by the British.

"Damn British guy. My dad said that British people are the worst thing. This is really true!" Heidi opened her red eyes and clenched her small fist.

"Yes! They are all demons!" Katie also whispered, "When I have a child, I will tell him, first, I must believe in God, and second, I must hate the British!"

If it were normal, Katie said "Wait for me to have a baby", then Heidi would definitely catch this sentence to tease her. But at this time Heidi didn't mean anything like that. Instead, he nodded and said, "I think so too."

"The food has become very little. Everyone is very hungry and very cold. It has been a long time since I saw my father. He was locked on the other side of the wall. I heard people say that the British forced them to dig barriers everywhere. Many people He was exhausted in the ditch. Then the British directly asked others to dig deeper where the deceased fell, and then threw his body in and covered it with soil to bury it. Mom was worried about Dad, because She has been unable to hear from him. She is worried that her father may be dead. I am also very worried about this. I often have nightmares and dream that they throw my father into a deep pit. But I didn't dare to throw this. Meng told her mother that I was afraid she would be very worried."

At this time, there was a noise outside, and Annie hurriedly put away the diary and pressed it under a pile of hay.

"Everyone, come out!" The British yelled from outside. So the women and the children all walked out of the dark "house" and came to the empty field in the cold wind, and lined up the team according to the requirements of the British.

Some heavily armed British soldiers stood there with guns, some of them were lead dogs, and those dogs barked barking at the women and children. The commander of the camp is carrying a horse whip with his hands behind his back, and pacing slowly in front of the group of women and children.

"A very serious crime occurred today. Someone despised the order of the concentration camps, defied the rules of the British Empire, and stole military supplies of the British Empire! Someone sneaked into the canteen today and stole the breakfast prepared for the British Empire's military dogs. This is a provocation to the British Empire! Must be severely punished!"

The officer stood still, looked around at everyone with a fierce look, and then said, "I will give you a chance to find the thief by yourself. Otherwise..." He stretched his voice and handed the whip to his left hand. , Took the pistol out of the holster around his waist, "I will shoot one of you randomly every ten minutes until someone tells the truth."

The officer lowered his head and glanced at the watch in his hand: "Now start timing."

There was dead silence all around.

"How could he be like this? This should be the beast of The Underworld!" Heidi gritted his teeth and said.

"Heidi, don't use such force, you pinched my hands." Katie said.

At this time, on the screen, the British officer walked up to Annie, who was trembling with her head down vigorously.

"Little girl, do you know who did it?" The officer bent down and said in a very gentle tone.

"No... I don't know..." Anna trembled like a leaf in the wind.

"Sir!" Annie's mother shouted.

The officer straightened up and turned to Annie's mother: "Do you know that, Madam?"

"No, I don't know either." Mrs. Braun said calmly.

"Oh, that's a shame." The officer was still smiling. He shook his head slightly, raised the gun in his hand, and pointed it at Mrs. Braun. With a "bang" gunshot, a red dot appeared on Mrs. Braun’s forehead, (yes, it was bright red. Although there was only black and white film at this time, in this scene, in order to achieve more With good results, Scrooge asked the late stage production staff to manually dye the dot on each piece of film red.) Then she shook it and fell to the ground.

"Mom!" Anna threw herself on her mother and burst into tears.

"Doesn't anyone know?" The officer blew the still smoking muzzle, took a white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the pistol leisurely, and then asked slowly.

...

"This damn guy!" Tom stood up abruptly, and was about to rush towards the screen. Heidi quickly grabbed him: "What are you going to do?"

"Heidi, let me go! I'm going to kill that bastard!" Tom said excitedly while struggling.

"Tom, calm down, this is a movie! It's just a movie!"

...

"Very well, after another ten minutes, no one said it?" The British officer said with a grin, not knowing that someone had just rushed into the movie from the audience to kill him.

At this time, a little child was trembling all over and walked out cowering.

"You did it?" the officer asked?

"No...no." The child cried and shook his head tremblingly.

"Do you know who it is?" The officer inserted the pistol back into the holster, bent over in front of him, and asked in a very gentle tone.

"Yeah." The child nodded while shivering. Everyone around was watching the child nervously.

"Then tell me, who is it?" the officer asked.

"It's her!" The child stretched out his hand and pointed to Mrs. Braun, who was lying in a pool of blood.

"Asshole!" The officer suddenly struck the child's face with a whip, and knocked him to the ground. Then he stood up, looked at the others, and then said to the soldiers: "Let's go."

The camera turned to Annie again, she was still kneeling there, like a sculpture... Then accompanied by the low and sad melody of the cello, the long voice-over sounded again:

"I know that Anthony said this to protect more people, because my mother is dead anyway, they can’t kill my mother again. Everyone says Anthony is very smart, but I just don’t like him. Only because I knew that he actually stole the dog’s food—because many of us got a little bit from him, and I and my mother got it—even more because he said it was me who stole the food. Mom, although I also know that at that time, this is the best way to say it. I don’t hate him, but I just don’t like him... The days in the concentration camp are getting harder and harder. I think, if two years earlier, I I died the time I got diphtheria, that's fine."

If a traverser saw this passage and he knew something about similar movies in later generations, he would definitely shake his head and say: "One can't be shameless to this point." Because whether it's this story or the back The soundtrack is completely plagiarizing later generations of "Schindler's List."

Many years later, some people began to doubt the description in this section of "Anne's Diary", thinking that it was artificially added by the people who organized the diary later. Although they made a lot of excuses, it was obvious that these people took the British pennies. Therefore, the peace-loving and conscientious people in the world must refute them with confidence and reprimand them: "Jews sold their own conscience and bought dozens of silver coins, what about you? Only five pence, you sell your conscience. Yet?"

The picture on the screen gradually darkened, and a line of text was displayed on the screen:

"This is what we found. Anne Braun's last diary. Half a month later, the Burr guerrillas liberated the Shire concentration camp. People found Anne's body and her diary in the camp.

I would like to dedicate this film to the thousands of people who have suffered in the unjust war that destroys lives. "

Then the lights on the four walls of the theater turned on. The audience realized that the movie was over, so they stood up and walked outside while discussing.

As soon as he left the house, Heidi immediately pulled Katie and ran towards the ticket office.

"Heidi, what are you doing?" Katie asked.

"Don't you want to watch it again?" Heidi said.

"This is a good idea!" Katie said, "Just look at... my goodness, how can there be such a long line? I'm afraid this line is going outside Manhattan, right?"

...

The same scenario is in Cleveland, in Philadelphia, in the District of Columbia, in Paris, in Lyon, in Frankfurt, in Berlin, in Rome, in Turin, in all the cities that are shown.

The next day, almost all newspapers began to report on the frenzy caused by the sound film "Annie's Diary". In the United States and many cities in Europe, demonstrations against the United Kingdom have also taken place. For example, in Paris, even though the police are battling the police, the Paris citizens who are full of justice still use slingshots, stone throwers, and so on, so that the British Embassy in France almost lacks a complete window glass. The people of Berlin announced that they would never sell any products to the British Embassy. The embassy guys did not dare to show their English accent when they went out to buy things, and the people of Rome had adopted some more ingenious measures against British diplomats. Way of struggle. For example, the staff of the British Embassy who came out to purchase supplies would always find that someone likes to squeeze in the downtown area, and then they found that their wallets were missing. There is also a note in my pocket: "This is revenge for Annie! Damn British guy, go to The Underworld!" For the first time, this kind of propaganda method of the movie showed a huge and shocking power.

Under the pressure of such public opinion, the German government, the Dutch government, the Italian government, the Belgian government, the United States government, and even the French government, which almost fell into the arms of the British in order to fight against Germany, and to fight against the United States , And the Spanish government, which wears a pair of trousers with the United Kingdom, stepped forward and asked the British government to allow them to discharge observers to the British concentration camp in South Africa.
