      In the Fade: A Realistic Social Film

      A realistic social film that reflects neo-Nazi terrorist attacks on minorities, but is slightly less profound. The movie "Out of thin air" tells the story of a mother who failed a lawsuit after her husband and son were attacked by neo-Nazis, and chose to die with the murderer in the same attack method. It is a pity that there are too few portrayals of Turkish husbands and mixed-race sons in the film so that the audience does not know enough about the victims, and they will feel...

      When did security become a luxury

      "Out of thin air", Best Actress at Cannes, Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards. Attracted by the heroine, Diane Kruger, who once played Helen in "Troy", the film tells the story of pain - justice - revenge.

      In the face of pain, different people have different pain points in life. Some of the pain is gradually aggravating, giving you a little buffer time. And some pains come out of nowhere, hitting you all at once, leaving you with no power to fight back.

      For...

      why go

      It comes out of thin air, everyone can't escape the inherent class, and the marginalized people always cherish happiness more, if they can get happiness, because it is not easy for them, and they have to pay more. The classification of classes always gives people a preconceived impression. The group of mice always lives underground, and it is only individual to turn into Mickey Mouse. Most people still have an inherent view of mice. A three-part story, family, trial and revenge, life is...

      Violence with violence is only due to partiality

      Terrorism theme. Terrorist attacks by "neo-Nazi" thinkers targeting foreigners in Germany. The heroine, Katya, had a happy family. Although her husband is Turkish-German and has been in prison, he has lived a new life peacefully after getting married and having children. On an ordinary day, her husband and son were bombed to death at the same time, and Katya, who was devastated overnight, endured the grief from all sides, and faced life again on the verge of suicide. Legally give justice to...

      In The Fade

      The three views are extremely wrong. The white right's new terrorism story has such bitterness and deep hatred from the beginning to the end. It is purely for the purpose of changing the characters. The play is not very exciting. Extremely American, pure Anglo-American and Continental-law confusion, Best Actress at Cannes and Best Foreign Language at Golden Globes is inexplicable. I love the film and accept its obvious flaws, even if it's not a perfect play, and The thinking it causes...

      German Film Festival @ Broadway MOMA. A powerful revenge story with very obvious practical references. PS: I can't believe that this German Film Festival has manual mosaics! It appeared during several film screenings. There are two or three times in this film, the scene of drug use and the scene of suicide by cutting one's wrist in the bathtub (not even naked). After the second time, I deliberately looked back and it turned out that the projectionist was holding something like frosted glass to...

      Ah Jin really dares to shoot, and the Germans are really a stubborn one. It seems that they never understand mellowness. They are either extremely tolerant or extremely hateful, with sharp edges and corners. Sooner or later, you will have a fourth...

      To understand Katya's behavior, to lose the most loved one, is like the soul has been taken away, life has lost the faith to live, life has no love, and perishing with the prisoner is a helpless...

    Evaluation action

    "In the Fade" mainly tells about terrorist attacks, but the background of the story is still the immigration issue that director Fatih Akin is concerned about. In a contemporary society where people are paying attention to Islamic terrorism, the director confronts the issue of neo-Nazism terrorist attacks and focuses on the intensified terrorist attacks. In fact, in terms of the emotional core of the story, it is not too new to deal...
