Chapter 731 This World Is Cruel, But I May You Live In A Fairy Tale Forever (Da Chapter)
Entering the dormitory of the concentration camp, both Guido and Joshua were stunned.

Because there are hundreds of people in the small dormitory.

Guido still looked like he was really playing a game with his son, and he seemed so conspicuous amidst the numbness and despair on many people's faces.

He still looked out of tune, and praised the environment here is really good.

At this moment, all the audience watching the movie fell silent.

They didn't expect that the plot would develop like this.

"This place is dirty and smelly, I want to go to my mother!" Joshua is not a fool.

He was taken care of by Guido and Dora so well, and he was still so young, he was only five years old!
"We will!" Guido still said with a smile.

"I'm hungry!" Joshua said.

Guido saw pain in his eyes, 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 was given to a man in a prison uniform next to him at the right time.

Guido could only continue to lie to him: "They have to be fierce, everyone is fighting for the first prize!"

"When will I see Mom?" Joshua asked.

"You can finish the game!" Guido replied.

"When is the game over?" Joshua asked again.

Guido can only continue to make up lies: "You have to get a thousand points, and whoever gets a thousand points can get a tank!"

It's just such a lame lie, but Joshua didn't quite believe it: "I don't believe it, do we have some snacks?"

Guido paused: "There are so many acquaintances here, I'll ask them!"

Guido asked someone at random, "Is the man who sent the jam and bread here?"

The other party showed an ugly smile.

Guido said to his son again: "It's bad luck, we just missed it!"

"But he'll come again, won't he? He'll come again!"

At this time, the sergeant from the concentration camp came in and asked if anyone could speak German.

Guido couldn't understand at all. He asked Balto, whom he had just met, what was the other party talking about?
Balto told him he was looking for someone who spoke German to explain the rules of the camp.

No one responded, but Guido raised his hand.

Balto asked him suspiciously: "Do you understand German?"

Guido shook his head and said, "I don't understand!"

However, under Balto's astonished gaze, he walked to the side of the sergeant.

The sergeant began to announce the camp rules.

He said: "Listen to me, all of you: I will only say this once, you were brought here for one purpose, and that is to work!"

Guido couldn't understand at all, but he opened his mouth and said, "If you come, you will be safe, and the game will begin!"

"First to a thousand points wins! The prize is a real tank! What a lucky guy!"

Everything he did was for his son.

The sergeant said again: "If any of you sabotage your work, I will use the gun on my shoulder and 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 fewest points must hang a sign of 'Idiot' on the back!"

"We soldiers play bad guys, hooting and drinking! Whoever is afraid gets less points,"

The sergeant said again:

"You must not forget these three basic rules:
one don't try to escape
[-]. Obey every order

All three rebels shall be hanged! "

Guido saw only three fingers raised by the sergeant.

He still couldn't understand what the other party said, but he said in the same tone: "In three cases, you will lose all points!"

"DD!

Second, I want to find my mother!

Three, hungry to eat snacks!
Don't be delusional! "

Because although Guido was talking nonsense, his tone and actions were very similar to those of a sergeant, so the other party didn't notice any problems.

"You must work here, and no one can appear to disobey the order! Everyone must obey the order!"

"It's easy to lose points when I'm hungry. I lost [-] points yesterday. Because I must eat bread with jam."

"When you hear the whistle, you must go to the playground to assemble, two people line up in a line!"

"You don't have any lollipops, give us all of them! I ate twenty lollipops yesterday"

"Because I'm playing hide and seek, I have to go, or I will be caught."

In fact, this paragraph is a bit absurd. In a place like a concentration camp, it is impossible for such a thing to happen.

But a movie is a movie after all.

The audience in the theater has been worrying whether Guido will be discovered.

However, everything is just an illusion, and the horror and inhumanity of the concentration camps are real.

On the first day of work, Guido began to feel overwhelmed.

But after learning that if he didn't work, he would be killed, he could only grit his teeth and persist.

Because he still has to protect his son, who is only five years old!
He still has to find Dora, and he doesn't know what is going on with her now.

Joshua stayed alone in the dormitory, suffering from hunger and fear.

At the end of the day, everyone fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the bed.

Guido came back, even though he couldn't walk steadily on the same tired road, but when he saw his son, he still had a smile on his face.

But he couldn't even hold his son.

But he still looked extremely optimistic and showed his son his prison uniform.

"Look, my uniform looks good, doesn't it?"

Guido also made up all kinds of lies, trying to convince his son that they were really playing games.

He asked Joshua if he played with other kids?
Joshua said they didn't understand the rules and said that the first prize was not a tank.
"Don't believe them, they are cunning. They want to win you, don't believe it!"

Guido resisted his exhausted body and said to his son seriously.

"How many points did we score today?" Joshua asked innocently and expectantly.

"fifty points!"

"No, it's 48, they deducted two points from me! Because I fell when I was hopscotching!" Guido continued to make up lies.

"We had a lot of fun today, and we're serious about it. We can't wait for tomorrow to come! You can play hopscotch and tug-of-war. There are so many tricks in the game, I can't even remember them all!"

Listening to his father's words, Joshua showed a smile of great anticipation and curiosity on his face.

That's right, there are too many ways they torture people, so many that he can't even imagine!

Guido asked again: "Have you eaten?"

Joshua said proudly: "I ate, but I didn't ask for dessert!"

As if he had done something amazing.

Guido quickly said: "Good boy, that means you also scored 12 points!"

"I'm 48, you're 12, we got a total of [-] points!"

He took out the hard bread that he was reluctant to eat, worried that his son would starve, and said it was a prize.

At this time, the injured Balto came back, and he said: "I almost died, I got 20!"

Joshua happily leaned into Guido's ear and said, "We score higher than him!"

Of course Guido knew that the [-] that Balto said 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.

But the horrors of the concentration camps are much more than that.

On the side of the female prisoners, Dora thought that the female soldiers in the concentration camp had a conscience not to let the children and the elderly work, but soon someone around her told her that although they don't need to work, they will die!

They would send the children to take a bath, saying: "The children have a bath! But to the gas chambers!"

This suddenly made Dora's heart sink, and she began to worry about her son Joshua.

Not only Dora was worried, but also the hearts of the audience.

Turn the camera!
When Guido staggered up step by step, carrying the heavy anvil, he kept saying, "How can I hold on!"

Yeah, how could he keep it up, but he had to, maybe death would be a relief, but he still had 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 he quickly asked, "Why did you come here? Why didn't you stay with the children?"

Joshua said: "They said that children have to take a bath today, and I don't want to take a bath!"

Guido didn't know the truth about the so-called bathing, he also 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 goes on to tell the lie, "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 let him hide first and wait for him!
Joshua, who was unwilling to take a bath, escaped unharmed.

When Guido found out about the 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 drinking and drinking, would not find out, otherwise points would be deducted.

On the other side, Dora frantically packed up the pile of clothes of the Jews who were thrown into the gas chamber and killed them. There was also a cat among them, which reminded everyone that it was a little girl who was holding the cat. Here, but what about the children?

She was worried that Joshua would go to "shower" too, and she was even more afraid of finding Joshua's clothes from 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 to the training camp, he always tried his best to contact Dora, and never let go of any opportunity to convey the message that he was still safe to his wife. put it in the cart.

Suddenly the soldiers who saw the radio room left.

He sneaked into the broadcasting room with Joshua.

"Good morning, princess. Last night, I dreamed about you all night. We went to the movies and you were wearing a pink suit. I loved your outfit. I can only think about you, princess." Guido broadcast into a loudspeaker Express his thoughts on 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, I laughed until my stomach hurt! We are ahead, how many points do we have today?"

"Run, the yelling bastards are behind us!"

Dora could hardly believe it when she heard the voices of her son and husband, who had been worrying for so long.

But she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The son didn't take a shower, and the husband was still alive, and he could always surprise her when she needed it most.

When the doctor examines the body, Guido recognizes him, and he reminds the doctor of him with the riddle.

Guido felt hopefully that the doctor might be able to help them get out of here.

When he came back, Joshua hid under the bed, he was scared.

The horrors of the concentration camp were far more than what they saw, Joshua heard. Inside the concentration camp, they threw people into the stove to make soap and buttons.These shots and words suddenly made the whole atmosphere oppressive and pale.People not only think of the scene where Hitler poisoned more than 400 million Jews, but also feel fear.

The relaxed atmosphere that Guido worked hard to create before, at this moment, everything became extremely pale.

This is a concentration camp like purgatory.

After Guido heard it, the fear and tremor in his heart were unspeakable, but he still could only perform exaggeratedly, smiling to tell Joshua not to believe it.

It is said that these are the tricks of those people in order to scare away the competitors and win the show.

In order to relieve Joshua, he even deliberately pretended to take Joshua away instead of tanking.

This successfully aroused the competitive spirit of Joshua's children, and they took the initiative to stay.

Guido can always understand what Joshua and Dora are thinking, but he has to bear all the pain silently, and he can't even show the slightest expression of fear, because that will make Joshua suspicious.

Because he knew the doctor, Guido was arranged to be a waiter serving food at military family gatherings in Japan.

He thought the doctor could save him, and the doctor arranged for his son to eat with a group of German children, but it would be revealed as soon as he opened his mouth.

Sure enough, as soon as Joshua spoke, the waiter went to notify the female sergeant, and Guido knew that he had revealed his secrets.

In a flash of inspiration, I 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 there was always an accident. Just when Guido thought that the doctor would tell him how to escape, the doctor said a riddle excitedly, and it was all about the riddle Things, nothing about helping Guido and Joshua, or Dora escape the concentration camp.

The doctor didn't want to help them escape at all. He helped them temporarily just because he wanted him to help him solve the riddle. When Guido found that he didn't care about their life and death, but was just addicted to his own game. Left in despair.

It can be said that the irony here is that the "very important" thing for the doctor is his unsolved mystery.And when Guidodo mentioned that his wife was also imprisoned here, the doctor just "ah" for a while, and he hesitated to think that it was still his puzzle.The last time the doctor simply cut to the chase, talking about his puzzles.He thought the German doctor could help him, but the poor German doctor was waiting for Guido's help instead.

While Guido was trying his best to save his family's life, the German doctor couldn't sleep because of an insignificant puzzle.It's ironic enough.

Maybe it's the romance that is integrated into the bones, maybe it's the love for his wife that surpasses everything, his princess didn't have to suffer with him, but she followed him resolutely, so, my princess, I can do more for you Do you want something?

So he came to the phonograph, and suddenly found a disc of music he and his princess had listened to together.

He put the butterfly on the phonograph, opened the window, and turned the big horn of the phonograph to face the window, so that the music could reach the women's concentration camp and his princess would hear it.

In the smoky concentration camp, full of fear and despair, a purgatory on earth where no hope can be seen, the melody of this music seems to cut through the darkness, bringing a ray of light and hope to his princess!

He is telling his princess in this way that hope is still there!

But he himself did not know whether there was hope.

He can only do his best. He is a husband and a father, and he tries his best to play these two roles well.

Still in the concentration camp surrounded by smog, Guido held Joshua in his arms: "Where are we? I may have gone the wrong way, good boy, go to sleep, have a good dream, maybe it is a dream now, we are dreaming, about Shuya, mother will shake us up tomorrow morning and bring milk and biscuits, let's eat first"

The audience has discovered that this scene, in fact, is the same as the beginning of the film.

It's just that at this moment, the theater is full of depression. It is said that the core of the best comedy is tragedy.

It can be said that it is fully displayed here.

Even if Guido still shows an optimistic look, even if he can always say a lot of things that make people laugh.

But no one laughed.

The movie doesn't describe much about the cruel despair of the concentration camps, and more is shown from the side, through dialogue, and through some small details.

Like the mountain of clothes of the gassed people, like the cat that was first held by the little girl, as Joshua heard, they made people into soap, buttons, etc., no doubt It is interpreting that except for Joshua, this is a game, but for others, this is a desperate purgatory that cannot be escaped.

Guido, who was suddenly lost, never showed panic, but the man who showed fear suddenly showed an expression of fear, because he saw the pile of corpses piled up in the mist!
This is the first time in the entire film that he was frightened.

It also made him fully awake, what kind of place he and his wife, uncle, and son were in.

The dawn seemed to be coming, and all the soldiers in the army deserted.

Guido and a group of detainees in the concentration camp thought they could leave.

But Guido still asked: "What about 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 coming!
But he also knew that it was a risky move for him to find Dora, and it was not safe to go to the dormitory in the concentration camp, because Balto told him that the cars went out full and returned empty.

So, he brought Joshua out, and he told his son, the game will be over tomorrow morning, and there will be an awards ceremony, and if you escape tonight, you will get sixty points.

He made his son hide in the box!
He made a final entrustment to his son: "I will lead them away!"

He ran to the women's concentration camp and saw many women being loaded into the car. He knew that he had to find Dora, his princess.

But he also knew that it was very dangerous, but he had to go, that was his princess!How can I feel at ease if I can't see that she is safe?
He ran back, found his son, took the blanket, and asked his son to take off his coat, mainly because he needed a disguise to sneak into the women's concentration camp.

He told his son again: "Even if I come back for a long time, don't move, don't come out, until there is no sound, no one!"

He was still not at ease asking Joshua to repeat it.

He kissed Joshua on the forehead one last time and hurried away.

He rolled up his trousers and put a blanket around his waist like a skirt.
Suddenly, he heard dogs barking incessantly.

He saw Joshua's hiding place, and a dog kept barking at the box.

He had no choice but to try the "magic" taught to him by his friend Filru back then.

Finally, the "magic" worked again, and the Japanese soldiers left with the dogs.

Guido breathed a sigh of relief, and he wrapped his son's clothes around his head.

Then go in the direction of the women's concentration camp.

The truck was still loading the woman into the car, and Guido knew that as long as he was sent to the car, he would never come back.

This made him even more nervous, and he mixed into the women's team, shouting everywhere: "Dora, Dora, is there anyone named Dora?"

He dodged the searchlights and finally came to the dormitory of the women's concentration camp.

But here is already empty.

He ran out again and saw a truck full of women. He chased after him and asked, "Have you seen my wife? His name is Dora!"

A woman named Dora came out, but not his princess!

The truck drove forward and he followed.

He yelled at the women, as soon as the truck gets outside, you jump out of the truck, jump out and get away!

Because he knew that if he didn't escape, he would never come back.

But at this time, he was discovered by the Japanese female soldier, who blew his whistle.

Soon there are Japanese soldiers chasing up.

He was caught!
He knew what that meant.

Suddenly, he who was walking with his head down turned around and saw Joshua’s eyes staring at him in the small iron box, a pair of shining, clear, moving eyes, he blinked suddenly, Joshua blinked too Eyes, a blink, a parting.Only this time, it might be a farewell forever!
He suddenly laughed exaggeratedly, with his usual publicity and joy, grimaced back at him, and kicked a big goose waving his hands and feet, that was clearly a proud winner of the game.Just like when he was taken to the city hall, as if telling Joshua, I will 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 couldn't see through the slits of his eyes, he looked back frequently, he was confirming, confirming here When Joshua no longer had any doubts, he lowered his head in peace of mind and walked like countless Jews, with nostalgia and comfort clearly written on his face, he was escorted into the corner quietly, and a car roared past At the entrance of the alley, there was a burst of random gunfire; after a while, Japanese soldiers came out, and then, no one came out from the corner.

The camera stayed at the smoky corner for three seconds. Seeing this, the tears of countless viewers began to flow uncontrollably, and their hearts trembled tightly.

What fatherly love is, it is probably Guido's three steps, let the son be in a huge lie, but also in a huge tenderness.

In such a difficult situation, Guido built a peach blossom garden for Dora and his son, in which the son played the game set by his father without any distractions, and Dora felt the love Guido gave to himself again and again in it. warmth.

But he is still a human being. The little prince and princess are the source of strength for him to be optimistic and persevere, but they are also his weakness.

Maybe if Guido didn't go to his wife, maybe he could survive, but that was his princess, and it was impossible for him not to go to her.

After all, Xanadu did not wait for the family reunion.

He didn't have it until the next morning, and he didn't come back.It's all because there is no need anymore, he is also a human being, he bears a double share of darkness, fear, hatred, despair, he recites it without saying a word, and recites it together with his son's share; how big is this? Your courage is how deep your love is.He had had enough, and he was relieved to see that the child still had a healthy and sunny mind after going through this inhuman war, and death no longer frightened him.

In the early morning, as the last batch of prisoners left the concentration camp, the surviving people in the concentration camp slowly came out.

Joshua kept listening to his father and waited until there was no one and no sound before he crawled out of the small box.

Joshua won, he got the real tank that belonged to him, and he followed his princess mother on the way home.He won, won the real "Life is Beautiful".

"This is my life experience, this is the sacrifice my father made! This is the grace my father bestowed upon me!"

Gone is the shot of dark tones, replaced by a patch of sunshine!
Joshua smiled, the sun came out, he kissed his mother, his mother kissed him, his beautiful life had just begun.

It turns out that a beautiful life is not about having no worries about food and clothing, not having great power, not being surrounded by servants, not adding all the love and luck in the world to you, but just letting me know that you love me and love me the most in this world.

But the price is to exchange his father's life. Guido turns his life into sunshine to illuminate his son's beautiful life and illuminate all the darkness in the world.

It's just that his princess never heard him say: "Good morning! Princess!"

No one will play games with the little prince Joshua anymore.

No more, no more!
