In the 1940s, the enviable couple in the Berlin music circle was involved in the torrent of World War II. The singer Nellie was arrested in a concentration camp because of Jewish descent, and then her husband Johnny, who was of non-Jewish descent, was released. Freed, this happy little family fell apart. Nelly’s life and death are unknown. Johnny, who is a pianist, fell to the nightclub to wash the dishes. He lived in a semi-underground shabby room and lived in a harsh life. He was different from his pre-war scenery. The above is the tip of the iceberg of facts that can be seen, however, the complete truth is cruel. His wife Nelly was betrayed by her husband Johnny. Before pushing his wife into the death camp, Johnny had gone through the divorce procedures in private, and Nelly knew nothing about it. What can this show? Their love is worthless, and Nelly's unilateral love is a big joke. The interpretation is a naked love grave, a catastrophe is imminent, not only throws his wife to fly alone, but also makes a knife when flying away, so that he can completely get rid of the fetters. In this way, a deeper meaning is extended. The horror of dictatorship and totalitarianism has alienated civilized human beings into ruthless machines, monsters, and weapons. The mutated and complex human nature has an extremely clear face in the face of disasters, and the racial hatred that fuels love allows love to escape, and no matter how close a relationship is, in a horrible and pathological social environment, it may also be fragmented into obnoxious fragments. The story is not finished here, and then leads to the temptation of wealth. The wife of Jewish descent Nelly inherited all the family property. Johnny learned that in order to take possession of the estate, he needed to retrieve the divorce documents and destroy them. This move was unsuccessful, and his wishful thinking was in vain, but he was spied on by Nelly's friend Lena in the archives. In fact, Nelly, who had recovered her life from the concentration camp, underwent cosmetic surgery and was being taken care of by Lena at that moment. The so-called popular story may say something like this next. Nelly died in a concentration camp. In the group photo she left with a "dead" cross painted above her head, the crime of genocide was exposed nakedly. However, there is always a case in ten thousand miles. Although the movie did not explain the details, Nelly was rescued. At the end of World War II, she walked out of the concentration camp. And deep in Nelly's heart, because she doesn't know the truth, her suspense for the future comes from her husband Johnny. She believed that she was alive because it was Johnny, and the love between them gave her the faith to strive for survival. Therefore, Nelly is eager to see Johnny, even if she has a new face similar to herself but different. Johnny thought it was God's arrangement, so that he happened to encounter a woman whose temperament looks very similar to his wife, and he started another plan. I used the reverse side of Johnny’s secret secret as an entry point to tell this movie. But in "The Phoenix" it is narrated from Nellie's perspective. The first seventy minutes of the plot has been explaining Nellie's misfortune and the reasons for her plastic surgery and reshaping herself. My friend Lena tried to guide the audience to see the clues of the conspiracy. Towards the end, Lena left the show. Nelly learned the truth. The well-known Nelly continued to cooperate with her husband's performance. She awakened from the beauty of fantasy, and finally woke up gently and bitterly with the song "Speak Low". After her husband’s daydream, the truth became clear to the world. You will find that the name of the movie is its theme. The process of Nelly's return to herself is a process of a weather-beaten nation coming out of pain. She is like the fire phoenix on Nirvana. After she died, she was reborn in a more dazzling posture. , Is the phoenix. Please briefly describe how you feel when you hear the word "Jew". Oh! World War II, slaughter, cleverness, suffering, wealth, Israel. . . . . When I was young, the head teacher felt that our final exam results were not satisfactory. He stood on the podium and looked at us with a helpless look. Before he issued the paper, he would say a few words, more like talking to himself, "You guys. The child is not a Jew, Einstein is the only one, and I have too high expectations of you." From here, I know that Einstein is a Jew, and a Jew has a smart head. Later, I heard another saying that the Jews love knowledge more than money. They also said that if you don't study, you can only travel thousands of miles to be a postman. Later, there are other sayings, they are shrewd and frightening, their mystery is beyond your reach, and their ability to dominate the world. . . . . . For anyone, not only has a smart head, but also has to constantly learn and recharge, and have an independent mindset. What is transformed from this is infinite power. Wealth is actually only one aspect, and the free and unyielding soul is the one. The most invincible. Of course, they were right, "Wealth is within a yard!" They proved their ability to discover gold. There are countless books about Jewish business experiences alone. For example, on Amazon.com, such books are bound to be on the hot lists of economic management. In any case, the Jews who are recognized as "the world's number one merchant", along the way, have left too many mysterious and brilliant national treasures in the long river of history. However, certain inferiority of mankind has been making waves, trying to climb out of the purgatory constructed by the concept of hierarchy, unrestricted power, monopoly wealth, etc., but finally fell into it and even became the executioner of the reinforcement purgatory.

In fact, to understand the characters and the thoughts they want to convey from the story of the movie "Phoenix", this is indeed a unique anti-war film. In the background of fascism, another kind of neglected despicable humanity was unearthed. Locking the negative image of the male protagonist in the persecuted Jewish ethnic group further illustrates the intention of the creators to explore "humanity". We cannot deny the weakness of human nature, let alone the role of myth that "morality" can restrain human nature. A just and fair rule of law can allow human beings to coexist peacefully, and the opposing totalitarian and dictatorship can be imagined to create disasters. Let me tell another story: After the Nazis came to power, the persecution of Jews escalated. A team of Gestapo suddenly came to a farm on the outskirts of Berlin and captured the male owner of the Jewish family. Only the wives of non-Jewish origin remained in the family. After hard work, she managed to establish a secret connection with her husband who was locked up in the concentration camp. In a letter, she complained to her husband that there was no staff at home and could not cultivate the land according to the season to grow potatoes. After receiving the letter, the husband thought about it for a few days, and then sent a letter in which it said: "Don’t move your home. I have a gun and grenades buried there." Two days later, several cars full of Gestapo suddenly Visited the farm again. They spent two weeks rummaging the family's land several times, but they did not find a gun or grenades, and finally left in anguish. The hostess was puzzled by this, and wrote to her husband again to narrate all this. The husband wrote back and said, "Okay, let's grow potatoes now!" The above story sounds tense, buried with dark humorous eggs, and finally see the light of wisdom. Without further exploration, you can ignore the "political" identity of the Jews, and the story scene can be established by placing it inside and outside the high wall. Since the final outcome of the male host is not mentioned, you can even read this as a comedy story with a philosophy of life. If this paragraph of text is made into a movie, the theme of the story I imagine should be the unforgettable love. However, one truth that cannot be ignored is that all sins are stupid, not to mention the rusty brains under totalitarian rule. The Gestapo’s malice produced bitter "good fruits", and the "cultivated land problem" solved was to show the courage of the husband and wife to fight together. Then, the turning point of the story came. One day, the wife could no longer contact her husband in the concentration camp. The wife of non-Jewish descent waited bitterly for her lover. The war was over, but there was no news from the host. The wife was forced by the pressure of life to marry others and have children. In the sixtieth year, the male host appeared in front of his wife, and the wife returned from the funeral of the current husband. In fact, after the male host survived, he traveled between Israel and Germany and is already a billionaire. He has been living around his wife and watching her silently. . . . . . Well, that's the end of my tacky and tacky romantic love story. Now arrange the above story into a tragedy that hides secrets from beginning to end. The fate of the male and female characters is reversed. The identities are taller, and they still tell love, but you must add a secret betrayal to love. At this time, what you see The story is the German film "Phoenix", which tells a war without gunpowder, the tragedy in the tragedy of World War II. This is how the history of civilization in the world advances. The progressive body kneels, squats, gets up, and moves forward in the midst of stumbling. In the succession of life and death, mankind crushes the bloodstains of the victims and opens up a new way of life. The same is true of human nature. When hypocrisy and vicious clamor, the good must be the victim; when the evil words and deeds are dismantled and exposed to the sun and judged, the good people are required to quickly forget their pain and repay the evildoer’s infinite tolerance. If they cannot “forgive”, the good People will be kidnapped and tortured by morals. This is an injustice that makes the good people want to live, and it is also a sick life that makes the good people nauseous. "Rather than facing the creatures around me, I'm more willing to go to death." In the movie, the second female Lena made such a voice. She is such a benevolent person, and she is also a real Nirvana rebirth. She gave me a deep impression. She was like a brave and brave fighter, but all the details revealed her softness and her kindness, peeling the peel quietly, weeping silently, sleeping peacefully, until the end The hope of awakening the sleepwalker in exchange for death. Think about it, Lena is the paving stone to promote civilization. I am particularly impressed by that scene: the house has been cleaned up, and the coldness of people going to the empty space is scattered in all corners of the house. Lena left Nelly and left alone. When this picture cut into the screen, I guessed the result it was going to announce next. The scene recurring when watching the movie "Nun Ada" is a similar plot processing method. When Ada's aunt moved her sober steps to the window, I waited for the "unhesitating" farewell to be shown next. Jumping from the window, or committing suicide, using images to convey such unprepared bad news, transitioning quietly, naturally and unexpectedly, strengthening the sense of surprise in the visual senses, this is indeed a good idea. The viewer will feel "bited" for a while. Of course, Nelly's "betrayal" of her friend Lena was unintentional, and she didn't even realize that desperate beasts would devour a living person. The behavior and demeanor trying to go back to the "before" are all out of fear, to calm the evasive mentality of the trauma caused by the Nazis. This makes her blind selectively, and with the memory of her husband and wife, Nelly gets fleeting moments. comfort. But everyone knows that this is not the way. It is either to associate with the evil of human nature, or to be the enemy of the evil of human nature. There is no compromise, and there is no middle way. Therefore, she will eventually return to reality and face everything that has happened. At the end of the play, the finishing touch of the whole film illustrates this point. The song "Speak Low" sung by Nelly and her husband Johnny was composed by the composer Kurt Weill, a German Jew. John stopped playing in a sudden realization, Nelly sang "Time is so old and love so brief. Love is pure gold and time a thief. We''re late, darling, we''re late. Everything ends too soon, too soon. "Obviously, everything is over. The cracks she had imagined to repair with forgetting, including her husband and wife relationship with Johnny. There is no need to hide, I like this movie very much. The curtain of the movie opens, and the calm narrative rhythm brings a sense. A mysterious wind blows on the face. The gray-green tones make the movie story present a revival of "vitality" in the stereotyped retro mood. The occasional red of life and the warm yellow of the sun give the movie a visual look. Temperature. The traditional "shallow focus" lens filters out the characters from the background and highlights them in front of the screen. The facial expressions and psychological activities of the characters can be clearly seen from the frame positioned close to the lens. The cold picture quality unique to German films is Director Christian Petzold’s "The Phoenix" is also reflected in the restrained emotions, the composition is clean and concise, and the rules are shown everywhere. The compact theater effect of the small scene frame also renders the survival of the Second World War. Atmosphere. It seems that it is not only weird and bitter genres that can be used as footnotes to define the secret relationship between the director and his work. In fact, the background of region, nation, and time is also an invisible mold, intentionally or unintentionally twisting some directors’ works. style.
