  • "The Wall" is a movie starring Martina Godette and directed by Julian Bosler. The protagonist of the film is an unnamed woman (played by Martina Godette in "The Life of Others"). She came to the foot of the Alps for vacation with two friends and their dogs. After she settled down, her friend suggested to go out for a walk, but she decided to go to bed early because of the fatigue of driving. After waking up the next morning, she found that her friends had not returned all night, but only the puppy Lu Qisi was with her. Worried, she thought of the nearby village to inquire about the news, but found that she was enclosed here by an invisible barrier and could not leave at all. The radio was interrupted and the phone lost the signal. She had to make a decision, whether to risk her death and turn over the mountains behind her to find contact with the outside world, or to stay here to avoid invisible dangers to the outside world.

      Look sleepy

      Is there no better way of performance?
      Thinking of the first time fighting with sea shrimp, a good friend sent this word to comfort me.

       Everyone has a blind spot,
       he can't get out, and others can't get in.
       I put the deepest secret there.
       You don't understand me, I don't blame you.

       Everyone has a wound,
       deep or shallow, covered with cloth, thinking it does not exist.
       I smeared the most crimson blood there.
       You don't understand me, I...

      Hidden Wall: We are alone

      An unknown woman, alone in a house in a deserted mountain. I went out the next morning and wanted to get out of the mountains, but found myself blocked by an invisible wall. Her choice is to commit suicide or continue to live in this mountain, alone, alone.

      This huge story paradox is disturbing. The woman's whispering to herself conveys deep loneliness and fear.
      In order to make yourself feel better, but less resistance.
      Women write to record the small things in life. Her...

      A boring movie that resonates with many people

      Many imported films were very shocking when we watched them, but most of them can’t remember the plot after watching them for a long time. I think the special thing about this film is that it allows us to still watch it for many years. I can recall certain plots, and people who can read it or not seem to be able to find some resonance in it.
          This movie adapted from a best-selling novel is so boring, why can it become a best seller? I really want to know the original idea, but I didn't...

      You will never get rid of loneliness in your life, but living with loneliness will make you successful.

      About nature, biology, self, existence. Not just a microcosm of the heart of a depressed patient, the film conducts a reflection and discussion on human existence through an extreme situation. If a normal person came to this valley, how would she live? In this beautiful and vast nature, people have been reduced to human beings and do not feel much superior. "Glory has no meaning to me." Connecting with animals and taking care of them, human beings, like creatures in nature, are equally small...

      Rational Germans artistically accept unproven metaphysical assumptions

      I couldn't help but spit it out before I watched it.

      Facing an "invisible" wall, the protagonist just touched it and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to go out to find people, and began to think about why the couple didn't bump into it when they went out, and no villagers gathered around to talk. And the protagonist thinks this is even more incredible than this "invisible wall". . .
      Why can't this hidden wall appear during that time? The villagers just haven't discovered it yet....

      I want to know how this transparent glass barrier appeared, and why the heroine would be trapped in the valley, so I watched this film as a suspense film. In the end, the answer was not revealed, so it was a literary film. Desperate and lonely, one person, one dog, one cow, two cats, a few wooden houses, and the huge foothills of the Alps, this is not a paradise. The whole film is saved in just one frame, all on the desktop, the four seasons at the foot of the Alps are so...

    Movie quotes

    • Woman: Now I am completely calm. I see a little bit further. I see this is not the end yet. Everything goes on. Taurus, Pearl and Luchs will not return. But something new is approaching, and I cannot escape it. The memory, the grief and the fear will remain and there will be hard work as long as I live.
