In this film, the actors contribute more than the director.
Male One has always spoken carefully, without any superfluous expressions, and knows how to keep the cold duty of a national security agent in the East German era. Then quietly, I changed my aura little by little, so that I never felt anything, until I tried hard to see more things in his face and eyes. But in the end, the eagerness when holding the actress was a bit overwhelming. This deliberate and redundant confession probably comes from the worry of the screenwriter or filmmaker, ha. It's a bit like our client, always worried that the audience won't understand why this person will force a confession and steal the typewriter, so he must give a narration to explain clearly.
The director almost meant it. The previous films did not seem to reflect very well. I don’t know if I used this theme to turn around. In short, I didn’t think clearly about the topic of "Other People’s Lives." The couple’s life and the eavesdropper’s perspective vacillated, and it was not until later that the coordinates were gradually set, leaning towards the eavesdropper. In fact, I can see that the original idea is buried in it: the life of being wiretapped begins to take place when the earphone is removed, and it disappears. It's a pity that I couldn't hold on. . .
After talking for a long time, I suddenly realized that I was running a little bit. I wanted to boast something, but I changed the tone.
In fact, when I watched it, I really felt very good. The farther back the better. It’s quiet in the middle of the night, with the door closed by one person upstairs, and the small stereo is on. Seeing these human temptations and inner wrestling, there is no fierce sound, but it is very quiet. It is dynamic.
PS Let me talk a little bit off topic. Probably everyone has a certain desire to spy on other people's lives. Snooping on this matter is also a kind of connection. If there is a connection, it must have an impact. The beginning of the impact is the beginning of the loss of initiative. Human feelings are like this.
