 对话文本:(系普特网友整理，文本只包括旁白影评部分，不包括电影原声。)

The Counterfeiters is a new film by the Austrian director Stefan Ruzowitzky. It's a concentration camp survivor² story. The survivor in question is a Berlin criminal mastermind named Sally Sorowitsch, a Jewish counterfeiter¹ played by a remarkable³ actor named Karl Markovics.

Sorowitsch finds himself in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during World War II and he is forced to help the Nazis⁴ with this scheme called Operation Bernhard, which was a plan to fake the currencies of their enemies, the pound and the dollar, and flood the markets of the United States and Britain with this fake money, thus destroying their economies.

This is a very fast moving, very suspenseful⁵ movie, and it turns really on the ethical⁶ dilemmas⁷ facing Sorowitsch. He is a thief but a man of some honor. The question that the film raises very starkly⁸ and effectively is what are the rules of survival in a place like a concentration camp. Do you do everything you can to stay alive, do you some obligation to your fellow inmates⁹, er, or do you have some obligation even to the larger cause that is should you, if it means staying alive, go ahead and help your pressers, your captors, do something that may even lead to their victory.

This is a soundly-made movie doesn't really break any new ground in holocaust¹⁰ films, but it does have a remarkable performance. I think Karl Markovics as Sally Sorowitsch brings so much intensity¹¹ and understatement to the role, that he really carries the film. It's a very interesting film, er in some way it's a modest one, but quite effective.
