I haven't written a long review for a long time. First, I don't have such a strong feeling for the movie. Second, I don't have much wisdom to shake my wit. But more than half of the movie was full of tears, and I couldn't help but leave a few words. This article does not have a deep analysis of the film's text and aesthetics, nor does it go to the root of the director's past works, but simply wants to record what the sweet love in the film looks like. I hope that the audience can also find the diver and Wentini in their lives. .
The love line of the male and female protagonists is simply too sweet. The fateful encounter, the handover of electric light and flint, and the embarrassment of staring at each other in the last second. Lying wet in the glass fragments of the water tank, there is a fatal romance and attraction. Aside from this apparently surreal plot, love exists in every moment two people are together, with only each other in their eyes.
The male protagonist can't say sweet words, can't say that he loves you forever, his speech and actions in front of the camera have always been so clumsy but sincere. Regardless of being tired, I accompanied the heroine to catch the train. The two fell asleep snuggling together. When they parted, they ran after the heroine's carriage. They took care to put away the statue of the diver and gave it to the heroine. Awake and upset, he pulled her to prepare carefully, and knew how to appreciate her professionalism from the most boring explanation. As for finding out that the girl's heart skipped a beat, he was jealous and jealous, and even suspected that this was the reason for his careless accident.
Who can't feel this love? So when the heroine was rescued from the water, she hugged him tightly, and then asked if she could give me another artificial respiration. Listen to all versions of the songs he speaks once before going to bed.
Every moment is so precious, how each of us is immersed in love. Therefore, it is also possible to completely understand the feelings of the heroine. Compared with the scumbag ex-boyfriend who cheated on him, how precious it is to fall in love with such a person. Wendini herself is also a straight-forward impulsive character, and she loves vigorously. If she loses such a lover, she is willing to pay any price to save him. However, Wentini's destiny is to return to the water as the name suggests, and she can only continue to guard the male protagonist when he is working underwater.
The entire film is quiet except for the sound of water flowing and breathing, and even the only background music is the repeated piano solo. This kind of blank space makes the audience immersed in a sad but not sad atmosphere for a long time and can't come back to their senses. Both the male and female protagonists have died once in such a quiet undercurrent, but the love lingering among the water and grass will always exist, right? .
This serious romance from the Germans is amazing.
