What the film should present is a journey of self-exploration under hypnosis, the self-reflection of Europe as a whole. In the rapid vibrato of the cello released by the director at the beginning, the director began to count, ten, nine, eight... One, you came to Europa, came to Germany in 1945, and then you are a young handsome guy. If you see this, you should understand that what you are seeing yourself is a young man in the spirit of a modern European, hypnotized back to brutal post-war Germany. This young man, as some film critics said, is a gentle subjectivity of humanitarianism. But it was this gentle subjectivity that he witnessed the helplessness of the Americans' revenge plundering, stood by when he saw the remnants of the Nazi party, and was willing to degenerate when he met his girlfriend who was infected by the Nazi spirit, and finally he was in his inner conscience, or accidental, Ultimately achieves self-destruction and is reawakened by the director in death.
It has to be said that this film does have a lot to explore, especially in today's degenerate Europe. Looking back at this Europe today, not only can it no longer export valuable ideas, but it has fallen into self-isolation and self-mutilation, not only unable to help others, but also unable to extricate itself. Perhaps we can also say that in the early 1990s, when industrialization was basically completed on a global scale, the old Europe that represented gentle subjectivity died with this film. Today's Europe is just a utilitarian, restless, and purposeless community.
