Political aspirations are a struggle against social inequality, but the protagonist adopts an alternative and relatively peaceful way. They are not like their predecessors 30 or 40 years ago, like the young people in the school boom, who walked down the street in broad daylight and shouted slogans. , Full of violence, clearly express their indignation towards the social system and their pursuit of freedom. Instead, they used the non-violent way of entering the houses of the rich at night to protest their overly wealthy lives. An accident also led to the tension-rich plot of the kidnapping. The love triangle relationship in the play is a relatively weak plot compared with the political appeal, and finally there is a utopian ending in which the three people live in harmony.
Time and space distance
In a scene at the beginning, Jan and Peter drove out. When Jan was smoking a cigarette, he discovered that Peter had stolen a watch worth 5,000 euros during their last "education" activity. After a few questions, Jan threw it out of the car window. I thought there would be a big conflict here, but there is no. It was still the communication between two friends. When Jan mentioned that it was related to our ethical standards for doing this action, Peter expressed his understanding. With freddy quinn’s reminiscence of the fifties song "Heimweh" (homesickness), watching the joy and intimacy of these two young people in the car, the director brings people back to the memories of brotherly friendship in the school boom years. middle. As the lyrics say,
So schön, schön war die Zeit. What a wonderful time was once
Brennend heißer Wüstensand Now in the scorching desert
(so schön, schön war die Zeit), how wonderful the time was once
fern, so fern dem Heimatland is so far away from home Far away
(so schön, schön war die Zeit). What a wonderful time was
Kein Gruß, kein Herz, no greeting, not in the mood
kein Kuss, kein Scherz. No kissing, no joke
Alles liegt so weit, so weit everything is so far away
(so schön, schön war die Zeit ). Once the time how beautiful
a "Heimweh" narrows the distance between time and space. It is a nostalgia for the 68s and a tribute to it.
Conflict of Ideas
Jan is an idealist, a person who seems a little withdrawn. The movie does not explain his social attributes. We don't know whether he is a student or whether he is already working. When the ticket inspector got out of the car and questioned him, he fought back with violence; at the beginning of the kidnapping of Hardenburg, he also subdued Hardenburg. Of course, he is more of an idealist in action, not just muttering in a dream. Some of his words still touched me.
For example, when he chatted with Jule, he mentioned the difficulty of revolution: what was called revolution in the past has become a popular element today, and everyone can buy it in the store, whether it’s Che Guevara’s T-shirt or violence. Molecular map; the revolution has passed. Although it was not successful, the revolutionary idea of "die beste Ideen überleben" is still handed down.
Another example is that he hopes that through their "education" actions, it will play a role in killing a hundred people. A passionate soul pursuing change, as he and Jule painted on the wall of her residence: Jedes Herz ist eine revolutionäre Zelle (every heart is a revolutionary cell).
Hardenburg is a successful middle-aged man, a revolutionary backbone in a former student wave. Just as love cannot withstand the passage of time, how can other aspects of thought be avoided? Revolutionary ideals can't match the problems in reality: wives, children, breadwinners, and want to live a better life. The most important thing is from Hardenburg's mouth: Although people can make the world a better place, they are not equal. And competition is deeply in the bones of people. When he was on the mountain, he saw the three young people on the opposite side. He also fell into the memory of past revolutionary life and the idea of living a simple life. But just like the passage of time, the past can never come back. In the days on the mountain, he used his wisdom to divide the unity between the three young people and developed a lot of trust in him.
Manche Menschen ändern sich nie
came to the ending montage with Jeff Buckley's sad "Hallelujah".
Hardenburg went home. Maybe he thought about it before calling the police, but his past memories are no longer reality. The reality is that a few brats broke into my home, arbitrarily messed with my things, and kidnapped me, this Can the grudge not be reported? So in the end we saw a Hardenburg in a suit and leather shoes in a police car, and a Hardenburg who was back to normal.
The three young men escaped the arrest of the police. Whether they thought of it or not, Hardenburg would not obey him. Their promise is that they want to set off immediately to engage in their new revolutionary action: to rescue people in Europe from their obsession with television. As Jan and Peter said on the wall: Manche Menschen ändern sich nie (some people will not change), whether it is Hardenburg, or Jan, peter and Jule.
