I don't know how to express it in words, it is not suitable to be overly flattering, and there is not much enthusiasm in my heart, calm and gentle, just like his films. In fact, I didn't know him before. Although it is too famous. Until the second day of my sophomore year, I watched his film - Under the Sky in Berlin. Hearing this word for the first time: Sky, reminds me of Shunji Iwai's movie: All About Lily Zhou. very different. There are no brilliant colors that can't be melted by Yanshi, more, it is gray and black and white shots. But not suppressed. I can't deny that this is my favorite movie, maybe, like many movies, but it can't be measured by comparison. So, do not want to add one.
I like him, I like his calm and life-like observation and thinking about the world, without too much heaviness, it is truly and calmly displayed in our eyes and even in our hearts, but the profoundness contained in it will not disappear for a long time. Unlike Schindler's list, what brings us is a kind of oppressive ancient Greek tragic weight, reflection and repentance about history and all human thinking. It calms down a lot, but also penetrates deeper into the mind of the individual as a person in the city. In fact, his background is also related to World War II. After the end of World War II, Berlin, which has a complicated history, was rebuilt after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The director, using his camera lens, quietly loves his homeland, and at the same time that the city communicates without words, he also leaves his deep love behind.
For the plot of the story, I don't want to introduce too much. Search and it's easy to find. There is no strong storyline, some are just in the eyes of angels, the joy and pain of people walking in this city are mixed in the changes of scenes and the narration of the inner world of the characters. From this, you can see that one by one. Full of souls in the depths of living individuals. Loving and being loved, lust, bewilderment and peace of mind... Love the minute-long shot of Daniel and Marion at the bar at the end of the film, without the tediousness and unease. I think, maybe Wenders also wants to make our hearts more peaceful and understand the true meaning of love better. Just like two people who love each other, facing this face, even if there are no words, the communication in their eyes and the knowing smiles slightly tearing at the corners of their mouths are countless.
It seems that for a long time, we are all walking, walking in every corner of the city of Berlin, with nostalgia and forgetting. This is where the director lives and grows. For him, just like our hometown, we have too many feelings. It's not just a change of scenery, but more importantly, through the eyes of angels, I can see people's complex inner world, confusion, helplessness, loneliness, belief, and self-decompression. It is also so real, I think, even angels, their hearts are not the same, that's why Daniel is willing to give up the halo of an angel, and is willing to have the pain of the heart, the sweetness of love, to fall in love with the beautiful and strong marian. And love is the most eternal reason. So, in the city where we walk by ourselves, what kind of state are we in every day? Will it be, talking to himself about the gains and losses every day, and then continue to suffer or comfort yourself? Is it not that our minds can be sensitive to the images in other people's minds? Shuttle in the subway, looking at those expressionless faces, what are their hearts thinking? Happy or sad, is the daily pressure weighing on their hearts? I want to hug and give them a little warmth. If there is happiness, can you shake my hand and pass it on to my heart?
I like him, not only because he is a master director, but also because he is an excellent photographer. He has left an instant care and comfort to the earth and beautiful nature where we live. Moreover, he is also deeply influenced by music and knows the power of music. Obsessed with rock and roll. (My life was saved by Rock'n Roll---wenders) I remember he once said something to the effect of "If I could choose again, I would rather give up movies and become a musician" I also believe that Compared with movies, the power of music is far more profound and huge, but the hearts of modern people are no longer pure and quiet, and life has too much impetuousness. Therefore, those colorful and dynamic images can stimulate our numb hearts even more. If you really like his work, you will find that music has always been an integral element of his films. Whether it's Paris, Texas, or Lux's Floating Life, or other works, music is like a genie, traveling through the film, never leaving it.
An Interlude: Tribute to the Master
Days on the Clouds is the work of master Antonioni in 1995. In this film, you may see Sophie Marceau, or even Jean Reno, but Wenders is also linked to the four independent units of the film Executive director. As Antonioni's assistant, he not only respects the master, but also brings his own style into this film, which is also about love, sex, desire, the same flowing words and pictures, and also about love. The most sincere exploration of all kinds of subtle psychology, I think this is why Anshi chose Wenders as his assistant.
Some people say that his films are road movies, and maybe, they are not wrong. From Texas to Paris, from New York to Tokyo, from Berlin to Cuba, it seems to keep walking on the road, but without any argument, what is pursued is a kind of calm observation, waiting and non-stop development. Isn't that what life is like? It doesn't matter what you call it, what I like is his most simple observation and analysis of the world, time, space, characters and music. If you like movies, if your heart is pure, I think you will like him. Love his Paris, Texas (Paris, Texas, that's a bad place in central Texas, where my parents had sex for the first time...) Lux Floating Records (realistic, recorded way of shooting about music The touching documentary drama) Finding Ozu (a tribute to Yasujiro Ozu, "Ozu's Tokyo is Gone") and his Road Trilogy: Alice Roams the City, Wrong Moves, King of the Road. ...
don't know when he'll stop, hopefully he's been walking. Continue to leave what his sensitive heart can feel. I also hope that I will continue to run forward according to my own footsteps. I like him, I like his movies, that's all.
