The middle is very touching, the second half feels more cliché

When West Germany finally found out that a man needs to be successful in order to get his beloved woman, the moment he knelt down was really touching and realistic. It may not be so exaggerated in life, but who doesn't have to bow his head a little for the sake of life? ?

But the ending part is no different from the ending of a Hollywood movie, and the transformation of the heroine is not so comfortable. She seems to be a typical person who likes successful men. Dumped him again and said he fell in love with Sid. Maybe the director wanted to express that she actually liked West Germany in her heart, but that TIMING was wrong. Maybe it was the scenes where West Germany was mocked by her boyfriend and he knelt down. For a long time, she hadn't appeared, and when he became famous, she would leave a message on the phone for a while and come to the door for a while. In contrast, Sophie was rather frankly lovely.

Enjoy the first half of the movie and some realistic details. For example, West Germany knelt in the rain in order to succeed, and the attitude of the female director who had no one to care about West Germany after her success was surprisingly consistent with the attitude of others towards her when she was down. . . . . .

When people are young, they all have individuality and dreams, but later they are gradually smoothed out by reality.
