    It blends the emotions of fear, helplessness, boredom, hope and numbness together, and the filming is excellent. Is the problem of time background due to lack of budget? But instead, it enhances the film's moral, suggesting that "this can all happen in the...

    Grafting past time into modern space did not bring richer layers and possibilities. Characters and narratives stumbled in inappropriate backgrounds, playing a clever trick of a modern version of historical stage play, and the final effect may only be saving...

    If the viewer does not know the film introduction or read the original book in advance, the film will be confused, because the sense of detachment from a World War II story and the characters in such a modern environment has always been there, and the information transmitted by the image has not been eliminated. The viewer's doubts, the key problem is that the new situation does not feed back the narrative. If such an effect is intentional by the director, it will undoubtedly prove that such a...

    History is recounted in layers, in empathy and solid repetition, over and over again, and Petzold's brilliant play creates a sense of place that coexists on multiple levels, a sense of the usual Only the creator is omnipotent and powerless. The tragedy that we can't get rid of may not be whether the people who leave or stay will forget each other, but the differences that should belong to the past tense in the stories handed down by the travelers are entangled with the present all the time,...

    Historical background The contemporary environment has a particularly modern sense of stage play, and the perspective setting of the voice-over is actually very suitable for text description, but this feature beyond the film form does not affect the sense of film at all. The male protagonist looks like...

    The creativity is very exciting, the details are rich, and the plot is ups and downs while leaving the contrast of the background transition to the audience. Not a big fan of the narrator's voiceover, but the mumbled tone of the protagonist's speech is interesting. And Christian Petzold and Paula Beer's previous works have their own "identity substitution"...

    "All history is modern history", narration separates the world view of the text from the space in which it resides, and can be "fictional", "generated", or "reorganized". The narrative spawns shipwrecks, and a war that puts everyone at risk, turning Marseille into an island. The experiment of "Transit" proves that the classical narrative about World War II is still not outdated today, just like "Casablanca", and the last-minute rescue, after multiple "changes", the transition from survival to...

    A great but inappropriate literary work. In the face of the huge time gap that is fleeting and like a world away, the characters should show a vague state like a "soul" that has no attachment to the world and is difficult to get out of, but the image just solidifies the image of the character that should be illusory, like a "soul". One foot into the cloud, one foot into the...

    The dislocation of time and space is fresh, and the solid narrative is still Petzold's specialty, just like "The Phoenix", but unfortunately it has not been able to go further emotionally....

    Transit - Film Review

    Story: A man wants to cross the border with a false identity, and finally thinks through another man and a woman, but the two die because of the war. The background puts the history of Germany and Jews in World War II in modern times; the male protagonist and the writer smuggled together, but the...

    Around the tree three times, there is no branch to lean on

    The film is to bring the background of the eve of World War II to the modern age. Jews and Communists are being purged and persecuted. As long as no country issues visas to them, it is tantamount to the fate of being slaughtered by others. A visa is like a gold medal to avoid death, everyone is...

Transit quotes

  • Georg: Then he thought, 'This is Marseille.' A port city. Port cities are cities, in which is told. That's what they're there for. And these people have the right to tell and that you listen inside.

  • Georg: The song did not want to get out of his mind. Everything is dreaming. And everything is exchanged. Back in life again. The evening is already sitting on our house
