非關命運 (拉尤斯科泰, 2005)

關於二次大戰猶太人在德軍集中營的故事已經屢見不鮮，而由諾貝爾文學獎得主因惹柯泰茲根據親身經歷寫成的「非關命運」，除了代表匈牙利的猶太人，還有其獨到的觀點值得被改編成這部電影。

主角蓋吉正值青少年時期，面臨自我身分認同的迷惘，除了在離婚的父母親家庭間徘徊，還有身為猶太人的定義。還來不及找到解答，蓋吉被送入了集中營，一次次目睹同胞遭受悲慘的對待，也漸漸習慣活在恐懼之中。

不同於只呈現猶太人的悲慘，集中營在本故事中並未讓他們變得團結，就像傳言中所說的，有人開始以物易物，以自己而非全體的利益為優先，儘管蓋吉不斷被朋友告誡不要參與這種貶低自己人格的行為，但脆弱的人性還是使他的理智克制不住慾望，這也是人類在極端時刻所出現的一種悲哀。

作為著名電影攝影師拉尤斯科泰的首部作品，這個來自家鄉的故事更顯意義重大，冷調的畫面雖有令人感同身受的陰鬱和痛苦，卻也配合影片超然的觀點，不置誇張於容易過度的情緒渲染。

命運終於再度出現，蓋吉有幸成為其中一個生還者，這個經驗讓他深刻了解自己的定位，不只是一個匈牙利人、一個猶太人，更是一個有尊嚴的人類，拒絕美軍對他前途提出建議的美意，他選擇回到家鄉，無視於必須面對共產統治的困境，重要的是他終於能真正享受和自己所愛的人和事物生活的權利。

評分：10/10

Fateless (Lajos Koltai, 2005)

It has been not so fresh to be a story about Jews in German army’s concentration camp during World War II. “Sorstalanság” (Fateless), which wrote by Nobel Literature Prize winner Imre Kertész according to his personal experiences, except representing the Jews in Hungary, still has its unique vision worth adapting to this movie.

The leading character György was in the time of being a teen and facing the confusions of his own identity, except hesitating between his divorced parent’s families, and the meaning of being a Jew. Before finding an answer, György was sent to the concentration camps, viewing his people miserably treated over and over again and being used of living in fear gradually.

Differs from presenting the miserable of Jew only, concentration camp, in this story, didn’t make them united. As the rumor said, someone started to trade things, make one’s interests prior to all’s. Even György was told not to involve with this kind of behavior that make his character cheapen, the fragility of humanity still made his desire overcome reason. It’s also a kind of sadness of humans facing an extreme time.

As the first piece of the famous cinematographer Lajos Koltai, this story which comes from hometown appears more significant. Although the cold-toned frame makes audiences feel the melancholy and suffering as they experienced, but it also matches to the detached point of view of the film and avoids of being exaggerated by piling on the agony too much easily.

Fate finally appeared again, György was lucky enough to become one of the survivors. The experience made him understand his position deeply: not only a Hungarian, a Jew but also a human being with dignity. Rejecting the kind suggestion of the American soldier offered to him, he decided to go back to hometown, ignored that he has to face the difficulty of the ruling of communists. What important was he can finally enjoy the right of being with the people and things he loves.

Score: 10/10
