How can I miss the film starring Fassbender himself. He not only starred, but also played a gay role as in reality. The circus actor Franz was nicknamed "Fox", and because the circus was banned by the police, he lost his job. As the bottom of the proletariat, he likes to buy lottery tickets and is eager to get rich. From his behavior of defrauding the florist's owner to buy lottery tickets, it can be seen that he is a clever and cunning person like a fox. He successfully won the 500,000 prize, and he instantly became a rich man. He got acquainted with Eugen, a rich son from a bourgeois family whose father ran a factory, and the two of them developed into same-sex couples. Franz devoted himself to Eugen. Eugen’s father’s factory was about to close due to poor management. Franz immediately took out one hundred thousand to Eugen’s father to maintain the operation of the factory, and then return it to him after the difficulties. Franz went to work in the factory with a salary of 5,000 a month. When he heard that the factory had operating problems here, Franz did not hesitate to transfer the house he bought to Eugen as collateral. Almost all living expenses of the two of them, such as eating, traveling, shopping, buying a car, etc., were paid by Franz. He loved Eugen deeply, but it was obvious that Eugen and his father were just using and squeezing Franz's money and labor. Facing Eugen's increasingly indifferent and contemptuous attitude, Franz decided to break up frustrated, only to find that he had become nothing. The house transferred to Eugen could not be taken back and it was discovered that Eugen was already living with another lover. The 100,000 lent to the factory was returned to him at a monthly salary of 5,000, which means that he worked in the factory every day in Impermanence. Playing tricks, he was deceived by the real old foxes, and eventually he ate a whole bottle of stabilizer and died violently in an empty subway station. What's more cruel is that after his death, all his belongings were searched by two little boys passing by. The friend he had helped before is now a successful person, but when he found Franz's body, he ran away for fear of getting into trouble. Up. Such a chilling story is Fassbender's masterpiece, but not only that, Fassbender has added a more cruel element in this film: the insurmountable class divide. Every moment Franz and Eugen get along, they reflect class differences. Eugen rebuked Franz for not taking off his shoes when entering the house, smelling clothes, not paying attention to image and making noise in public, not knowing French, not knowing opera, not being educated, and not having taste. Franz endured again and again because of love. Humiliation. But he also yearns and admires the life of the bourgeoisie, but he is just a nouveau riche after all, he comes from the bottom after all. If he hadn't won the lottery, it would have been impossible for him to know Eugen, who looked down on him in his heart, and the miserable ending would be fate. The film is full of the bourgeoisie from beginning to end
Don't try to find a trace of solace in Fassbender's movies.
