The life of being drawn away from dreams

Werner Herzog is a director full of "anti-social" temperament, and often perform vigorously, such as dragging a boat over a mountain. In comparison, the film he collaborated with the sluggish-looking actor Bruno Slestain was much calmer, but the irony was stronger and the aftertaste was more intriguing. For example, in "The Mystery of Gas Hober" (the film also has a more eye-catching translation of "Everyone for Oneself, God Against Everyone"), the fate of the closed Gas Hober into human society has instead allowed People feel sad, look at how "anti-social". The protagonist of "The Wanderings of Shi Chuxi" seems more normal. This is the history of struggle of a small person. From Germany to the United States, the reality of Germany has long been cruel, but it has not fulfilled his American dream. This story full of joy is It is mixed with all tastes, and the black humor is left behind with black thoughts.

In the film, the protagonist Bruno comes out of prison at the beginning. He is a typical proletariat who is often drunk and troubles. He seems to be really going to change his mind this time when he is released from prison. He is playing the accordion and playing funny, wanting to build his own life. . However, the real world is full of cruelty. This weak and honest man is constantly harassed and insulted by hooligans of the same class. However, he has also gained something. Usually he would not look at his prostitute Eva because she was humiliated and coerced, and came to Bruno out of an instinct to seek refuge and tranquility, and this was seen by the world as being very unpopular. The combination of the right coquettish prostitutes and the dull losers makes the harassment they face even more serious. Bruno’s life in Germany seemed to be miserable. A low-level role in the bottom layer made people feel sympathetic. After repeated physical beatings, the little man seemed to never have a peaceful day. However, he did. Out of tenacity and bravery, as well as the courage to face life, he set his sights on the United States. Bruno and Eva came to the United States. They ran for the American dream and had their own house. Although it was a mobile shack, it gave them a sense of home. However, reality once again gave Bruno a heavy blow. Here, there is no punch or kick, but he is indifferent and indifferent. His life is getting worse and he can't afford the loan to buy the house, and Eva's behavior of selling and saving money makes him feel emotionally complicated. , And gradually become a stranger with her lover, and can only let Eva go with a truck driver, and he can only silently ride the cable car alone, and end his life in the midair separated from the reality of life.

Bruno has a funny taste from his facial expression to his accent. When his life goes smoothly and happily, the funny is pleasant, like a child. He believes that with his own efforts, he can build a new life, but he finds that he has to constantly face interference from external forces. There are hooligans in Germany and a bank in the United States. When Bruno was not going well in the United States, a conversation with Eva revealed the "anti-social" theme Herzog tried to express in this film. In Eva's eyes, Bruno no longer has to face punches and kicks, but In Bruno's eyes, there is no essential difference between the invisible mental abuse and the physical pain. "People's disdain is permeated in the air, and it is clearly visible. This is more cruel than before." This is Bruno’s tragedy. He went from the bottom of this society to the bottom of that society, from the weakness of this country to the weakness of that country, from the brutal punching and kicking in the face of hooligans, to the kind but cold attitude towards the face. From the perspective of Bruno’s desire for a stable life, the constant call-ups of the bank's special commissioners are a kind of harassment, and the latter seems even more helpless in the context of the rationality of business logic. After leaving his homeland, Bruno lacked a spiritual refuge, and Eva's departure made him helpless and wandered where he lived in drunkenness again. There is a classic scene in the film. Bruno's house was finally auctioned off. After the auction, the mobile house was towed away by a car, with the effect of being pulled from the screen, leaving a clearing and Bruno. It’s like Bruno’s life’s dreams and final dignity were completely taken away, and away from these, his life became hollow, he no longer has dreams, because there are no dreams to dream, hometown’s dreams are dark, America The dream is broken. The way he even chose to commit suicide was so special. When he left in the cable car, he seemed unwilling to fall on the land that made him sad. Of course, this way of suicide requires buying a cable car ticket first.

Herzog once again appears to be a radical critic of the rational and exciting struggle of society, and his portrayal of the Bank of America staff is even more obscure. They confuse people like angels when they take loans and behave decently and aggressively when urging people to pay back the bills. After taking the things from Bruno’s house until the house, what was left was more like a failed sample of "not consuming unreasonably according to his income level" for people to ridicule, and then went to find the next goal. In fact, the actor Bruno Slesstein’s own experience is a combination of "The Mystery of Gas Hober" and "The Wanderings of Schuxi", wandering at the bottom, until he meets Herzog to discover, which is considered an accidental trip. Good luck. However, Bruno in the film is not so lucky. In real life, we can always find some realistic shadows and feelings from Herzog’s films. Lost and lost appear in Bruno’s experience from time to time. This is also the charm of Herzog. He appears extreme, but he belongs to the nature and law of the operation of human society, giving the audience a violent blow, and then slowing down. Slowly aftertaste, slowly meditate.
