Because I can't help thinking about a girl, I still don't have the heart to read books. I haven't seen a movie to write a review for a long time, so I chose the Berlin Film Festival award-winning "Wendini" in the evening. Wendine is the water elf in German mythology, and the prototype of the little mermaid in the fairy tale is also taken from this. What I didn't expect was that the plot was a little scary. When I watched it, it reminded me of the film review of "The Shape of Water" that I wrote a long time ago: "Darkness is a fairy tale, but I can still see the innocence and childlike innocence of the world that the director keeps in his heart. The real world, he actually wants to present a simple and beautiful spiritual world that focuses on the inner soul. In that world, even monsters with terrifying appearances (reflecting marginal characters in real life) can also have the ability to die. Yu's company; even the most isolated and inconspicuous life can embrace unwavering love." The film "Wendini", which is different from this, has the ultimate sense of ritual despair. The water elf Wendini obtains her soul by combining with a human male, and she must kill the man when she is betrayed. Love and death, fate and curse. Director Christian Petzold is a representative of the "Berlin School", a realist master. The film has a large number of lines and plots that introduce the history of Berlin, and history has become an unavoidable content for these directors to explore Germany today. Like Wentini's inevitable fate. It is futile for Wendine to avoid the execution of an unfaithful lover. Even if she fell in love with another man, her unfinished destiny was always waiting for her. The film progresses layer by layer from the small incisions of daily life, and uses a unique perspective on the "sense of ritual" of love. The heroine drowns her ex-boyfriend in cold blood to show her loyalty to the hero. The farewell of the main soul, they are practicing their love for each other with a sense of tragic ritual, completing the love that has not been achieved in reality, and from another psychological dimension, they are also completing self-redemption. It vaguely expresses deeper inner discussions, and it also makes people feel that there may be pain when there is love.
