    Showing the flowers with bees buzzing around (to simulate flies buzzing to the smell of dead bodies) after hearing the coughs was masterful, not to mention the pink flowers being used as a metaphor for blood splatters.

    *"On one side of the garden life, beauty, blooms, on the other side... the opposite is true".*
    Interesting analogy about how the mother and grandmother admire and care about the beauty of their flowers and greenhouse, expressing their love and interest in nature and preserving the life of their plants, while ironically on the other side of the garden the opposite is happening: death, pain, misfortune, tragedy and they are indifferent to it.

    • @EarlofSedgewick
      @EarlofSedgewick Před 3 měsíci

      Can the flowers be considered beautiful at all? Flowers that do not have the space will not bloom so richly, and without the fertilizer, not nearly so often. What makes a flower beautiful? Is it the inherent aesthetic of its petal arrangement and colours, or does the quality of beauty come also from its context?
      Compare the vegetation here with the start of the film, where the scene is a nativist portrayal of a river valley. Weeds and trees cover every inch of space, cradling the family within that. Here, the "barren field" (implying non-productive plants) was turned into this garden. Fertilizer and constant attentive weeding is required to maintain it. For what? Not better productivity, but to better imply a sense of power and status, conferred by the beauty of the flowers. The excess life that could have been supported is destroyed in favour of these flowers.
      This sums up the sickness of lionizing "the good life" paradigm without paying attention to its input costs.

      @@AKoooooooo exactly!! That's why the inclusion of the party for high ranking Nazis and German socialites/industrialists was so salient, and unsettling, as well as the strong (blatant) suggestions of infidelity from both Hedwig and Höss. You could add the scene where the older brother imprisons the younger brother too - they're all indication of the hollowness at the heart of this ideology. Ever upwards, towards the abyss, standing on the heads of your enemies, and then your friends, and then your family. And for what purpose? There is no love which motivates this family by the end, no beauty or celebration. Always betrayal and blame, never acceptance and love.

      ​@@chopstick3555 for a few seconds, a deep bass rumble creeps in. It's like the movie itself stops to scream into a pillow, before we abruptly cut back to the characters acting like everything's normal. I saw the film in a little arthouse theater that didn't have strong subwoofers so that moment was just pure silence, which was also unnerving, but not as effective.

    For those who are wondering the real meaning of those flowers : they are what remains from the victims. The nazis are using the ashes of the corps to feed the garden to grow the flowers. Meaning that... even if the movie never shows the shoa's victims directly... they are present in the image : they are now the beautiful flowers.
