First of all, the level of photography and art is getting better and better. At the beginning, some scenes and shots have the feeling of cheap commercial films. I almost didn’t watch the costumes and props, and inexplicably made plays. For example, my aunt entered the gas chamber, which looks like a modern scene after 2000. Half of the visual effects are more mature and beautiful, and people always want to take screenshots. The director's storytelling ability is also improving. There are some bridges at the beginning (Auntie's bus sonata, saving the Russian officer's child) The emotions are not very coherent and unreal. The lines are slightly embarrassing. Actors The level of acting skills is also easy to reveal. Among the three male actors, the favorite is the actor Kurt when he was a teenager. He removed his mother's hand that covered his eyes and it was very interesting. Of course, Max Richter's soundtrack is very good. Max Richter is nearly ten one of the most valuable musicians of the year

The story is similar to a death biopic, which is going to tell people for most of my life. Once there are too many things to express, it is easy to mix up the rhythm, so there are good scenes in the first and middle sections, as well as annoying and procrastinating scenes, as well as the childhood past. The filming method, lines, etc., there is no intimacy, it is more like a little bit stiff after completing the task. After Kurt moved to Ellie's house, the rhythm became better and better. There was no muddled water before.

The core of the film is very interesting: in addition to discussing how to know "I", insist on "I", and liberate "I", it also discusses what I like very much: the truth of the world is unique and countless

All things are formed, their causes and consequences, their reality and imagination follow the same truth, and this truth tells people in countless different ways that art is also truth. Painting is art. Floorwashing can also be art. Every thing exists, that is, it exists rationally. It is truth and truth is truth, so no matter who creates art, this art exists objectively at the creator. No one is the initiator of truth, because everyone and everything is the carrier of truth. The truth is also the work of no master

The element of fire is also discussed very deeply in the film. Auntie was killed by poison gas. Uncles at home were shot and killed. An innocent aunt and girl were killed by gunfire. The professor killed the unborn child. The art teacher burned the party poster. These burning movements are the screams and cries of "I" and the truth. Burning the false reality can make people face the truth. Burning children and newborns will burn party posters. There are still people who want to wear party Guards uniform fire can burn Can turn the truth to ashes But the truth that existed objectively will not disappear The red will be erased here in another way on the canvas There is no difference between justice and evil In the end, Kurt chases Or truth is just another way of truth. It is not responsible for universal values. It is not responsible for punishing evil and promoting good. It is not even responsible for recording. You will still be kidnapped by capital and ideology. Only when you are doing art, you truly respect the independence of truth, when you are not kidnapped by good and evil, justice and evil, you will be truly free.

There are a lot of things that can be improved, there are the parts that make people shine, and there are parts that make subway old people look at their mobile phones, so three stars

  • Kurt Barnert: You're so beautiful, it's almost unromantic. It's far too easy to love you. Do you love me? Do you love me? Otherwise it doesn't work for me. Without love, it won't work.
