The song at the beginning is very pleasant, like a confused young man expressing anguish in his heart, and a simple perseverance can be faintly heard from the generality of the lyrics. The tone adds darkness from the desolation, the characters change from deep to decadent, and the story can also be seen in a poignant beauty from the ambiguity. The dialogue is still unknown, but no longer has obvious philosophical meaning.
Seeing the neurotic appearance of the hero and heroine, I suddenly thought of Shunji Iwai's "Dream Traveler", which tells the story of a group of lunatics pursuing their dreams, and the so-called lunatics are just angels with black wings. This kind of film depicting people on the fringe can always feel cynical, but there is a clear sense of tolerance and compassion in the artist from this attention. The male protagonist finally jumped down from the top of the building. Although it is an unrelenting detachment for him, we still feel that life is fragile and youth is tragic, and we question why this world brings us only despair. There are many movies of the same type, but Wenders still uses his own perspective to show the utilitarianism and indifference of modern people through television media, a product of industrial society.
The male protagonist appeared shyly on the TV screen and made a childish and ridiculous confession, which was a very incongruous and strange feeling to the audience who were used to seeing vivid images. Most of the other characters in the film also give people a quirky feeling. A group of weirdos in the hotel are obviously sluggish and depraved, but they insist on calling themselves artists, and even the FBI agents are unreasonably rigid. Never thought Mel Gibson would be in a movie like this, and only as an unheroic supporting role. Milla Jovovich, pale and red-lipped, is heartbreakingly poignant in the film's icy atmosphere. Finally, when seeing two people in completely different worlds hugging each other with blood on their hands, I think the director still has warm expectations for the spiritual communication between people in this world.
This is a very emotional film, from which no grand theme or profound meaning can be drawn, and can only immerse oneself in the poetry that is vaguely beautiful and confusing. As for the various advantages of film language, it is difficult for a layman like me to capture in detail, so let's leave it to the literary and artistic youth to comment.
