Never Look Away--Such an Intense Sensory Impact

The longer I live and the more experiences I have, the more I want to go back to my childhood, to recover the purity of looking at the world without any prejudice, without any secular color. And that's pretty hard, especially when you've been through so much.

Learning a language is a difficult process. The culture brought about by the acquisition of this language is a natural necessity, subtly changing the perspective of looking at the world. What many artists are doing is to reverse their difficult habits. They have acquired the language of seeing the world and created a new language of understanding the world with their body and mind. Use their small universe to embrace the reality of this big universe and be reborn.

The language of artists is often charming and deafening. Even people who don't understand art will have an unconscious sensory impact the moment they see it. The sensory impact of this film is so intense.

This is a relatively "simple" movie, without the dazzling skills of long shots; however, there are down-to-earth and true feelings revealed by the actors, and there are no cool special effects, but there is a creative trajectory that is drawn stroke by stroke. Every good work will not be let down, and no half-hearted movie can go through the scouring of a long river of time.

The background music, like a trickle, slowly flows into my heart. During the three hours of watching the movie, it provided a sensory experience as if I had only experienced an hour, and the soundtrack contributed a lot. And the story rhythm editing is even more commendable.

Feel the character charm brought by the characters from the details of the protagonist's experience. What is it that creates an artist? All of this is portrayed through a delicate veil. filled with the magical attraction of nature. The result is unparalleled sensory comfort. To make an inappropriate analogy, the sensory experience of the high-screen mobile phone is silky smooth, and every touch is a kind of enjoyment.

The rendering of the crowd's atmosphere and the trembling submerged in the frenzy make the war intensify, and on the artistic battlefield, the artists are also in the same confusion. What am I?

    Of course these paintings without an author have an author, and the three-hour biography of Richter's stele is clearly a pun. But since art always has to be real, where is the position of the artist? The film, which is reluctant to explain at this point, implies that the artist is the mediator between reality and meaning, the one who receives information from a mystical force and turns a string of random numbers into lottery winning numbers. The male protagonist who escaped from DDR continues his social realism creative ideas like this: since "I" is a part of history, then the people who create my paintings are naturally history and the country! Looking at the movie [Untitled] in this way, it really has no author. FHvD filmed and disappeared after filming, shouting "art", "freedom" and "truth" in capital letters to present a congratulatory gift for the 28th anniversary of the reunification of Germany . Such a sophisticated production core is a very naive reflection on "what art is", and what is even worse is that it also takes itself too seriously, eliminating all the possibility of self-deprecating with serious seriousness.

    "Almost no one likes a picture of themselves, but everyone likes a portrait of themselves because it's more realistic."

Never Look Away quotes

  • Kurt Barnert: You smoke?

    Professor Carl Seeband: Sixty-three is the right age to start. The consequences will hardly catch up with me.

  • Kurt Barnert: Not random. Real. Coherent. Consistent. Only reality is consistent. Every reality is consistent. Everything that's true is beautiful. Let's suppose I say six numbers to you now. It's just stupid. Pointless. But if the six numbers are the winning lottery numbers, then they mean something. They have consistency, value, almost beauty. It's the same with the photographs. I want the truth.
