52 times life notes from Mr. Dai Jinhua

director

Schlondorf, the same name as Wenders and Fassbender.

A dark adult fairy tale reflecting on Nazi fascism.

Children's Perspective - Top Down

Under the dining table, under the skirt, under the stage, from these shaded dark spaces to the hidden darkness under the bright performances.

Specific Geographical Location - Danzig, Poland

Located on the border between Germany and Poland, it was independent on the eve of World War II and then under German jurisdiction. Danzig is a city of both German and Polish origin. Looking at Oscar from the side, his father could be Oscar or the German father. With such a very ambiguous and absurd perspective. It seems that a unique identity like a dwarf is used, but it is actually the ordinary people themselves.

Tint - dark, low light

Rembrandt-like light and color, 15th and 16th century Dutch peasant paintings.

When a large area of ​​cool-toned color blocks are used in warm tones and combined with the memory of the cold humorous film history, it clearly tells us the characteristics of the film's fairy tale and the film's adult fairy tale. It unfolds the story of the film in the sense of such an adult fairy tale, unfolds the whole film with a sense of absurdity, with a peculiar charm, and this charm is disgusting, it is precisely with such an extreme encounter The two keynotes and two narrative tones of the film are combined to form the unique artistic expression and unique artistic charm of this film.

sincere reflection

Most of the reflections claim to reflect on history - in fact, it is a kind of self-litigation and defense, a shirk of responsibility for history

In the face of big times, everyone must face history and make their own choices.

  • Maria Matzerath: [Oskar walks in secretly to find Alfred having sex with Maria] A little more. Just a little. But be careful

    Alfred Matzerath: Don't worry

    Maria Matzerath: Almost. Almost. Just a little more! But be careful!

    [Oskar jumps on Alfred, interrupting their sexual act. Alfred gets up and slaps him before the upset Maria stops him]

    Maria Matzerath: Alfred, stop it! Is it the kid's fault you're not careful?

    Alfred Matzerath: Me? Who kept asking for more?

    Maria Matzerath: I said, 'Be careful, it's coming soon.' But it never came at all!

    Alfred Matzerath: Never enough. You're all the same

    Maria Matzerath: In, out, finished. That's your idea of love. Well, go look for somebody else. You think I am some electric bell? You never take precautions!
