    Arte was about the year before or the year before, and there were two scenes that left a deep impression on me: one was when the Moroccans were shopping in the grocery store, they deliberately pretended not to understand the German spoken by the Moroccans. Mi got angry and reasoned: "It's because he was a foreigner who didn't understand it on purpose, but if he was a German, they would understand" such racial discrimination; the second is that in the end, the Moroccan died of illness, and the...

    8/10. The stage-style rigid performance and minimalist scene layout are particularly obvious. Whether the tavern where the two met or the hospital where they sympathize with each other, the more stagnant the space is, the more the audience's eyes can be fixed on the characters who are complex contradictions. Doors and spiral staircases convey a sense of spiritual distance and entangled guesswork. Fassbender borrowed the discriminatory attitudes of neighbors, relatives and shop owners towards...

    In my opinion, Emmi in Fassbender's 1973 film Fear Eats the Soul is more open, open and romantic than most. She is in her 60s and has been working as a cleaner for most of her life and lives in poverty. The environment she was in did not make her lose her openness and ability to resist. After accidentally meeting Ali, he quickly fell into this relationship that was rejected by his relatives and neighbors, and insisted on using his own style to deal with the relationship with the outside world....

    4.5. The first Fassbender. Optimistic is realistic, popular is advanced. It discusses the hidden/extended aspects of the habitual avoidance of many contemporary films. The first is that the correct position cannot determine the "correctness" of the realization trajectory. What really triggers segregation is not racial or identity differences, but the social context that cannot be changed in time even if prejudice is eased; when the reason for calling for love at the center of the world is love...

    8.5, the opening couldn't be better, it's so simple and so cool, only Fassbender can make a movie, the ideology of racial discussion in the narrative is not too formed and continues to the end and becomes a third-rate category Hollywood racism condemns discussion films, and finally, Fassbender's mechanical sense is too...

    I slept with another woman. It doesn't matter, not at all. Amy said. I don't want to find another woman, I just feel very disturbed. You are a free man. You can do whatever you like. But when we are together, we should treat each other better, otherwise life will be nothing to miss. I love you much. I love you too, when we are together, we have nothing to...

    Sometimes, Fassbender deliberately uses pretentious visual imagery to express a point. He often uses alternating long shots to separate Amy and Ali from the rest of society: first they are far away, and then those who are watching them are also far away. He squeezed the two into a cramped room in a double shot, using Moroccan natural restraint in front of the camera to depict two people who care about each other in a world of...

    Fassbender was the prophet who so acutely captured racial prejudice, national alienation, forty years ago. The melodrama takes the small to the big, and reflects the social ills of today's Germany and even the whole of...

    Continuing the xenophobic theme of "Katzemacher", in an indifferent society, prejudice and meanness are the culprits that devour the soul. The contrasting colors of the set make the vision vivid, but it cannot warm the two lonely marginal people. External pressure and internal contradictions are endless. Even though Fassbender uses an open-ended ending to avoid further deterioration of the protagonist's situation, their love spanning age, race and class is filled with a sense of suffocating...

    Fassbender's films are emotionally awkward (especially this one), and although love doesn't need a reason, it still needs to be reasonable. Symmetrical composition, visual control of clothing color (from melancholy dark colors to bright colors), the movement and scheduling of theatrical sense (especially in the bar scene), the identity of Arab immigrants (being regarded as an alien is Fassbender’s)...
