Having experienced the two poisonings of Jiquan's tyranny, the Germans seem to be unable to stop their reflections. pay tribute.
The film is based on the life of the German modern painter Gerhard Richter, but it has undergone numerous fictional revisions, so it cannot be classified as a biographical film. (Richter is still alive and is known as the most expensive living artist.) Nazi Germany - East Germany - West Germany, childhood - youth - after the age of 29, the film tells about the male protagonist's growth and artistic formation process, in which he is fictionalized There is a romantic and unrestrained aunt who took him to see art exhibitions to nourish his artistic talent, mild schizophrenia, forced sterilization due to the Nazi eugenics program, and finally sent to the gas chamber. Utilitarian, father-in-law who first embraced the Nazis and then joined the CPSU.
Undoubtedly, the strongest voice of the film is still the call: art needs freedom. The director also made a meaningful comparison: the artists in East Germany were ordered by DANG to obliterate "me, me,", while in West Germany, all art people sought "me, me," and almost went crazy. It was like a little farce was being staged. Obviously, although the film criticizes and satirizes the pursuit of fame and fortune by artists in the capitalist West, this desire for fame and fortune is out of normal human nature, and it is impossible and unnecessary to stifle it. A benign society and a benign era will always leave behind luminous gold after the big waves wash away the sand. Unfree air and soil are the grave of art.
This film is a new work by the director of "Other People's Lives", I still like it, but I feel that there are two "unnecessary": ◼ First, the three-hour film is unnecessary, and the plot can be shortened and compressed in half (such as how the doctor professionally and intelligently Rescue the Soviet wife who had a dystocia, etc.), telling this story for three hours is really the rhythm of a TV series; ◼ Second, there is no need to change the English title, the German title is not difficult to understand: Work without author, it is the art proposed by the male protagonist idea.
A few episodes that moved me the most in the whole film: 1. The god-level teacher of the Academy of Fine Arts in Dusseldorf (the prototype should be Joseph Beuys), cherishing talents and cherishing talents, in order to inspire the male protagonist to find his artistic self, he frankly told The life insights of "grease and felt" that no one knows about, and take off the hat that has never been taken off, revealing shocking scars. 2. A group of friends from different backgrounds went to the hospital to assist the male protagonist in labor (scrubbing the stairs), frolic and carnival, long live friendship. 3. The wife, who thought she was infertile for life, stood on the stairs in front of the house and told the good news that the male protagonist had a child. The light and shadow and the beauty of the human body were indescribable.
