With the re-intensification and end of the Cold War, Germany, as a party that suffered ideologically hidden oppression, showed a relatively comfortable low profile. In this gradual and embarrassing era, the entire Germanic nation was Condensed and condensed. The ambition and purpose that have been burdened in the past are no longer the cause of the journey. Under the scrutiny of the current situation, they put more emphasis on planning and steps, and are always ready to retrieve the lost sonority from the real crawl.
With such a high-spirited step-by-step, German toughness can always show a different kind of magnificent appearance at various junctures. In 1989, the storm was turbulent, and the Berlin Wall was silent at both ends of the time story. In addition to the silence, there are too many insincere words that need to be heard urgently.
Thus, imagination put into practice, "Balance" was born.
As the title suggests, "Balance" shows a sense of forbearance and playful balance: on an empty tablet, five people bear the numbers of their own destiny, and do some things to accommodate each other for the sake of fairness, until the turning point. Appeared, the differences reached the point of life and death, and in the end only one player and a joy that was gone forever were left. The highlight of the short film is the pursuit of balance. The five people were tacit at first, and they all faced the temptation with a shared attitude, each taking care of them and getting their own way. Confirming the motto of long-term separation, there is an individual will that deviates from the collective, advocates magnifying the self, and the order of considering issues has also undergone a qualitative change, starting to break away from the group and betray according to their own needs. The prominence of contradictions can’t help but expand further. Characters who can be identified only by numbers have a clearer sense of role. Various man-made variables are piled up and accumulated step by step. At the end of "Balance", the ending of "falling into a predicament", a few seconds of solidification is endowed with a distant and clear sense of belonging. Through the presentation of the picture, the viewer can clearly realize the so-called real "end". It will be accompanied by the struggle for nothing at this moment, and will be frozen in the beauty and punishment of time. The turmoil of the current situation in Germany is manifested by the previous swaying, and the film has gradually lifted the veil of the social reality to be verified, and the truth that the audience wants to know is broken at the last moment, which is a continuous harmony. Paradox, and the unity of opposites of struggle and self-fight. So the stories of the world, if they are about balance, will be doomed to tragedy.
It is worth mentioning that the unique character and temperament of the Germans are brought into full play in this film. Discipline and willpower, the two essences of "Balance", their effect is to provide a pivotal interpretation of the film. As one or two themes of the Germanic national spirit, discipline-triggered introspection and persistence brought about by willpower are very representative and necessary software to support the entire film. During the filming of the film, the thoughts that German directors poured into them are complex and indescribable. The beginning and the end of the film run through a kind of mood of the times, which is expressed through different battles, whether in groups or alone, so that this time The gap has the ability to justify itself. Therefore, as a short film reflecting multiple realities, "Balance" has its own and very distinctive features.
