    Whether in legend or urban life, Petzold is used to using death as an outlet for an ideal state that can never be reached. This ideal state may be happiness, it may be a full life, it may be about money, but it will never be realized because of the gap between ideal ideals and reality. The film's sense of form in the aquatic plants and fish tank didn't impress me, and the political preaching has reached a level that's less annoying. But in the second half, the appearance of the identity of the...

    I've been looking forward to it for a long time, but when I watched it, I thought I was watching two movies with a few popular short reviews. . The first hour was a long-distance love story like boiled water, with some love scenes that even Korean dramas are too lazy to use, but more space is the heroine telling the history of Berlin. . Fortunately, the so-called fantasy colors and legendary elements were added in the second half hour, which made the whole film more exciting, and I just felt...

    The sudden rupture of the fish tank ends the series of stagnant and restrained states in the opening sequence, and the water overflows destructively. Next, the film is a close-up of the body. In the spiritual film of "Wendini", the water is A living thing, and then Wentini and Chrsitoph's breathing juxtaposed with the water flow, gradually becoming the water flow. The figurine of a diver who fell to the ground hints at the opposite element of the former: the pain of "substance". The dressing...

    If there are tears, what I see are tears of form; if there are myths, what I see are cheap myths; if there are buildings, what I see are buildings full of loads; if there is love, then What I see is fantasy...

    It's very exciting, as long as Petzold's tone is still there, German cinema will not die. With highly condensed film language, well-designed plot, and deep impact, even Petzold, who resorts to mysticism, still tells stories with true feelings as always. It seems that this is the first time I heard Petzold use so much music. Bach's piano piece adapted from Alessandro Marcello's Oboe Concerto is sad and sad, which is very suitable for the mood of the...

    I was deeply suspicious of my own tastes: did myths and lyric poetry and fantasy impress me? Can't legends be connected to reality in this form? Why I have embarrassed out of three rooms and one...

    0420/0823 Beijing Film Festival Rewatch Every encounter with Paula Beer in front of the big screen is a gift. Petzold is very sensitive and captures the most beautiful things about love: firmness, warmth and enthusiasm, but also its cold, selfish side ...the most dangerous side, once you really fall in love, you may need to sacrifice everything. It is a clever fusion of the history of the city and the fantasy of the elemental spirits (prophetic encounters, and each subsequent turning point also...

    There was a faint feeling that Wentini should be the legendary god who resurrected people and looked like a big catfish in the water. Leaving this legend aside, it is quite difficult to understand; there are many points that echo before and after. Both explanations are connected to waiting at the...
