      the shape of love

      The plot is not complicated:

      Nelly was a Jewish musician who was taken to a concentration camp by the Germans during World War II, but fortunately she was not killed. After the war, she was rescued by friends and had plastic surgery. After recovering, she wanted to return to her husband's side, and said that she was able to persevere in the concentration camp because of the strength that this love gave her.

      Her friend Lena told her that her husband had betrayed her. After...

      some random feelings

      ·At first, I thought the heroine was stupid and naive. The face after the "face change" didn't quite fit her character and role, so she should look weaker and paler. I realized at the end that, as Nelly said, Jonny was her hope in the concentration camp, the reason she survived, and it was precisely because of this that she firmly grasped the "truth" she thought and did not want to believe it. Her own "hope" betrayed her. After reading it, I feel that Nelly is actually very smart. I don't see...

      If you don't know how to write a movie review, don't compare yourself and waste your time.

      Disclaimer: This is not a movie review, it's a rant!
      I watched the movie "Phoenix" for the first time today, and came up to read the film review. After reading more than a dozen movie reviews, some reviews or a small part of the reviews are still very good, and the other 90% are baba!
      The two reviews are rather bizarre. 1. This buddy didn't understand the movie or the plot, so he came up to post a movie review and said there was a problem with the movie's logic. In the end, he said...

      After nothingness is Nirvana

      After watching so many light-hearted comedies, it's time to cultivate your sentiments with some deeper movies.
      The female protagonist, who was put in a concentration camp and tortured, persisted step by step until the day she left this hell because of her obsession with reuniting with her husband. However, the truth was not as good as she thought. The husband (or ex-husband) discovering her resemblance to his wife asks her to pretend to be his wife in order to claim the inheritance. The...

      {★★★★} The war changed this woman. When I say change, I don't mean just her devastated face or spirit, but her place that's been erased forever. After returning, she refilled the blank that had been idle for her for a long time, but she could not help but tolerate the environment, nationality, social circle, and the faces of old people who were forced to bond after the fragmentation. Christian Petzold doesn't add much subjective commentary to the heroine's futile wandering, but just silently...
