nothing matters

"I'm happy, but I'm also afraid."
"Don't be afraid, because fear eats up the soul."
The dialogue that initially calmed my gloomy, restless heart.
We live in this world, and there are always questions to be discussed. A lonely soul, where is a post station that accommodates him? It's like a poisonous curse that you always have to face after you were born here, and troubles appear again and again, making people worry, fear, and unable to be yourself.
Ali said, don't be afraid or you will lose your soul. This is a proverb, and for Amy, it is a promise and enlightenment for a boring life. She went without hesitation for evidence. Start right here.

Despised by her neighbors, cast aside by her children, they called her an old prostitute. Trying to get close to his Arab friends, but also against white pressure. She was still brave, even happy to announce that I was in love and I was married. How depressing is this, the whole world has denied them, a man 20 years younger than her, the co-workers laughed at her and said, is this your Moroccan grandma? Her grievances are very clear in her eyes, she forbears, she even hides her grievances.
It would be nice if there weren't so many ugly realities in this world. People are equal from birth and have equal rights to enjoy happiness and love. We will be the same after death, living in a small box and standing naked before God, but living as if we are going to suffer, how unfair to her.

Amy and Ali were sitting in a garden, she still couldn't help crying, Ali took her hand, she said "I love you very much." Ali said, "I love you more."
"How much?"
"There's that much." He stretched his arms.
She said, "I love you from here to Morocco."

If you can really do what you want to do, the desolate soul will also bloom beautiful flowers under the nourishment of a love. People may be individuals, but why do others have to speculate and distort your conduct and his original intentions. Maybe there has never been so-called fairness in the world. How much have we lost because of worldly relationships? We are wandering in front of gossip and the so-called moral threshold, and we have lost what should belong to us. But life is only once, how much can we have? Convince yourself to break the frame and do whatever you want. Gain and loss, self-assertion, self-knowledge, and perhaps fairness cannot be measured. When you reach your old age, people think you should just die alone and live boringly, but who has stipulated that?

Or when we are worried and afraid to reach out to accept happiness and escape from loneliness, we must prepare to be engulfed by the darkness behind happiness. When you reach out to take, give from the other. The world is ever-changing, betrayal on the back of joy, but interests devour the soul on the other side. Maybe people will always be alone, and we will never be able to control our own soul.


Fassbender's film is too warm, bright in color, and popular in plot. It captures the sinister life of life without giving him a sharp ending.
After Ali cheated, Amy was still there waiting for him, the familiar music played, the first song they danced together, he still took her hand, as if everything had returned to its original point.

Ali - I slept with another woman.

Amy - Ali, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all.

Ali - I don't want to, but I always feel very disturbed.

Amy - You are a free man and you can do whatever you want. I know I'm getting older and I can see it in the mirror every day. I cannot forbid you to do what you want. However, when we are together, we should be kind to each other. Otherwise, life will be nothing to miss.

Ali - I don't want another woman, I just love you.

Amy - I love you too, as long as we're together we're not afraid of anything.

This is also the dialogue that moved me.
In the end Ali lay in the hospital, Amy sat beside him whimpering, and the sunlight outside the window turned the color of the ward a gentle yellow. As if everything no longer matters. At this time, apart from this person, what else is important.
The issue we are discussing is still the ruggedness of life. Life must be a rough and thorny road, yes, but what I see is more courage, warmth and tolerance. Perhaps, the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.

When we are together, we are not afraid of anything.
Together, we have a place for that broken soul, even if we always have to lose it.
We are together, nothing else matters.

My dear, how can you say such a thing to me. I'm not important enough, so I don't have the courage to say it.

Otherwise, nothing matters.

    8.5, the opening couldn't be better, it's so simple and so cool, only Fassbender can make a movie, the ideology of racial discussion in the narrative is not too formed and continues to the end and becomes a third-rate category Hollywood racism condemns discussion films, and finally, Fassbender's mechanical sense is too charming

    Continuing the xenophobic theme of "Katzemacher", in an indifferent society, prejudice and meanness are the culprits that devour the soul. The contrasting colors of the set make the vision vivid, but it cannot warm the two lonely marginal people. External pressure and internal contradictions are endless. Even though Fassbender uses an open-ended ending to avoid further deterioration of the protagonist's situation, their love spanning age, race and class is filled with a sense of suffocating hopelessness from beginning to end.
