Everything good, deserves a second watch

I still have four stars after thinking for a long time, but I can’t find anything wrong.

But this is that kind of a movie that will keep echoing in my mind

Definitely need to watch that again because the subtitle error is distracting. It's better to get rid of it so that I can truly pay attention to the films instead of busy searching for information through the blanks among the big letters.

It's definitely about music for it uses music to link up the whole film as well as its (key) transitions).

I think it requires some sort of understanding or knowledge to really understand what the director intends with it. I will try to dig it up mext time before watching. hopefully I can understand and see more with the approach of the film.

Because now it only leaves the the first impression that everybody could have: the transition of a good man; what is the true meaing of doing “good”; when the immoral things happen, what choice can it be? or will this man stay good ?; that sort of “naive” mind in those brains of those ivory tower people and the self-discipline who hold to their moral standard- turning a large organization to a moralized track.

The music is obviously the key element, it is the string that pulls the story together. It might present the fantasy, but it probably does not echo the beauty of life. From a psychological prespective, we know only when people meet something they preferring not coming across will they begin to hear or think about something else to really pull them out of the misery at the present. So, the music the male protagonist hears for the first time when he met Anne might be ominous. His reality was always in a hurry, mess, and anxiety. The music his wife is playing was jarring, agonizing and ear-piercing. So when he first heard that sound, he might have a feeling of "如听仙乐耳预明". It might be a good sign of the life that even the workers are celebrating this secene for him. The passengers are creating the atmosphere for him.The passengers are cheering up for what he has got at the present. Interestingly but also ironically, those pieces of sound music are all(?) played by workers or underpriviledged people. At last, it becomes the Jews in camps to do the playing job . Is that a tear moved by that beauty of art to cry? It seems so on the surface. But it can also be a possibility that he has gone mad. I thought that madness might be something that goes down within the family, however, since Helen becomes more normal after leaving the family and his mother seems to get back her mind but can never cure her disease or misery, it seems that it is only the enviroment that changes people, not the others.it becomes the Jews in camps to do the playing job.

Music is the contrast of fantasy and reality, but obvisouly the male protagonist does not realize the fantasy can be quite dangerous amd haunting.

At last, the choas and the sound of music intertwine. It already cannot tell which part is the dream he fantasized or the part he wish to be, or the actual ground he is standing and the actual person he is meeting and talking to.

Cinematography, acting, mise-en-scene, etc.,everything is good, so we will just leave there and discuss something maybe more philosophical with this story. Because I feel it might require a little bit of history and more life experince to understand this story.

Hope we can feel something more after our second watch. And the question leaves with Anne and music.

【Huanity might seem a question thrown away after becoming useless. No more presentation or discussion here. It is only a starter or a tool to open this story.】

CU mext time

ps. By the way, although V is only in the movie, V is weak, weak, timid, helpless and pitiful, but it still can’t hide his handsome and sexy appearance☺️ such as abdominal muscles and so on [Super quiet BB

  • Maurice: We probably met him, you know? When we were at Ypres, October of that year, 16th Bavarian were in the line next to us. He'd have been running dispatches back and forth.

    Halder: You may have sent him on an errand.

    Maurice: "Oi, you! Lance Corporal! Yes, you, short arse. Get over here!"

    Halder: And he'd have saluted you., imagine that.

  • [Freddie has just received his Kristallnacht orders]

    Elisabeth: You didn't say where you were going, Freddie.

    Freddie: Oh, I've got to burn down a few synagogues. I could be all night!

    Anne: You said they'd stopped all that that stuff with the Jews.

    Halder: Yes, that's what I thought.

    Elisabeth: You're not really going to burn down synagogues, are you, darling?

    Freddie: No.

    [Elisabeth is relieved]

    Freddie: No, the first thing is a briefing to organize a spontaneous demonstration of popular indignation for tomorrow night.
