To celebrate the 75th VE Day anniversary we searched Amazon Prime for a WWII movie to recommend, settling on Paul Verhoeven’s spy drama that focuses on the Dutch resistance movement in The Hague.
Game of Thrones' Carice van Houten puts in a standout lead performance in what is one of the most successful Dutch movies ever.

If you have not seen this movie, you simply have to. It's not only perhaps THE best foreign-language (Dutch) films that I've ever seen, I might place it in my favorite 100 films of all time. Action, suspense, intrigue, historical context, and even romance and finally an incredible ending. Hitchcock could not have done any better.
While all the acting in incredible, Carice van Houten steals to picture --- not to mention being sexy as hell! However the real beauty of Black Book is that it really make you think. It shows you the ambiguity of humanity. You see the 'human side' of the Nazis in this film and you see viscous actions of the 'good guys' as well.
While it does not justify the evils of Nazism, it does convey that there is good and evil on all sides -- and at a more macro level how a basically decent person can be perverted into an evil monster by a horrible system and criminal state --- and that without the tools that exist today to control a society. It's is good warning to us all - in every country.
Filmmaker Paul Verhoeven returned to the Netherlands after more than twenty years of success in Hollywood to direct this epic-scale war drama based on a true story. Rachel Steinn (Carice van Houten) is a beautiful Jewish woman living in Holland during the early days of World War II.
When Axis forces take control of Holland, Rachel's family are killed in a bombing raid while most of the city's Jews are rounded up and sent to Nazi death camps. Rachel manages to narrowly avoid capture, and joins the local resistance movement. With her hair dyed blonde, Rachel can easily pass for a gentile, and when the leader of the Dutch resistance movement learns his son has been captured by Axis forces, Rachel is asked to use her feminine charms to persuade a German commander to arrange for the boy's release.
Rachel soon finds herself caught up in a dangerous double life as she becomes a sexual plaything for the Nazis while attempting to bring down their evil empire as a spy. http://www.sonyclassics.com/blackbook/

Indeed masterpiece. Best of Verhoeven, better than Robocop. Seen it at least 6 times, gripping every time. Great script, big budget, masterful acting by every single actor, especially Carice van Houten. I suspect it's because of authentic languages and subtitles. Americans want just movies where everyone speaks English, with a fake accent. Even if they are a German SD officer or Dutch spy. In my country it's nothing special, because all Hollywood movies are subtitled. In my Top 10 movies of all time.

反抗軍首領並沒有覺得荷蘭人生命比猶太人的貴重 ,他隻是覺得猶太人的生命沒有比荷蘭人的貴重,因此沒理由為救猶太人而犧牲荷蘭人!
荷蘭片,猶太人女主角[瑞秋為了正義的事業而歷盡艱辛的獻身偉大精神,真是受盡了可怕的委屈和痛苦
女主角愛麗絲當初在冰與火之歌的敬業精神,而且很好的詮釋了她扮演的角色[戰亂時期,愛上敵人蒙茲,直到死別。 心痛到哭]

大家覺得這部影片的很好嗎? 又一個隱藏極深,倡導(promote)”爛交“的”性驅動“鴉片影片。。。這類影片似乎將人與人,尤其是男性和女性間的一切默契,信任,合作,幫助和友誼建立在”性行為“的基礎和前提之上 [] 。
本片中的蒙茲,似乎並不是一個需要”得到性行為“才會點燃,建立,和擁有良知,正義,和平的正確人類社會道德價值觀的”人“。而這裏,女主角,無論名為愛麗絲還是瑞秋,似乎先天的假設,抑或是潛意識認為,“提供性行為”可以換到/買到男性的幫助,而這種潛意識的認知,不知道是來自教育(弗洛伊德)?來自父母的原生家庭?還是來自文化?如果,性行為可以物化,貨幣化,也許可以用來締結契約,”契約精神“論?
自上個世紀以來,以”本能“為代表的一係列”性驅動“影片,通過突出,強調人的”動物“本能:生殖期交配,來解釋人的”一切“行為。期望將人類社會帶回到原始時代,社會尚未形成,人與動物混居,共存,競爭自然生存資源的時期,將人與所有動物等同。
非常諷刺的是,如果人的性交行為完全等同於動物的行為,”契約精神“似乎就不存在了。難道當交配期的母獅子和公獅子在草原相遇,女獅子需要公獅子提供一個羚羊,才開始交配嗎?抑或,公獅子交配完,會很”自覺“的支付母獅子一隻羚羊?
”動物本能“,契約精神,貨幣化/物化/金融,三種觀點本質是矛盾的 [] [] [] 如果,非要談”動物“本能,人的物理條件,主要是手足,和牙齒,從人類學的角度,其實是僅僅處於自然界動物物種結構的中間位置。。。再大談動物本能的,可是要被送到”沒有人類社會和文明“的荒蕪地帶的。。。大草原,原始深林的 [] 。
