Watching "Underground" made me eager to see Kusturica. In any case, this is a truly excellent work. Even its absurdity and its infinity exude its unique charm. . Facing the many changes of this nation, Kusturica confronts suffering with absurdity and is calm. Or Kusturica originally wanted to satirize the brilliant lies of the politicians with the pride of staying out of the matter, and even denounce the hypocrisy of history, but the blood flowing in the bones cannot be avoided after all, and the land that gave birth to me can never be changed. , I think I can see Kusturica's deepest pain and the most empty helplessness on Ivan's face when Ivan whips his brother Marco in a wheelchair hard in the close-up shot, obsessively pursuing In fact, it has been long overdue, and Ivan finally sought to cut himself off by saying "I can no longer tolerate this world". The clever thing is that this has been paved before the film, but that is just a joke that we thought it was nothing and nothing. That's it. When all the dead gather together in the warm sunshine to attend the wedding of young people, dancing, singing, cheering, laughing, life can actually be beautiful, but it is only the director's good wish after all, and reality makes it seem distant and distant Powerless, when Ivan turned to face the camera and stopped stammering, "...we will tell our children like a fairy tale in the future, there used to be a country...", I think most of the former Yugoslavia Everyone has unspeakable sorrows. Dreams can only be separated from the mainland and drift to the boundless sea, reality, reality! "Underground" won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1995, but in my opinion that's not enough, or it doesn't really matter if it wins or not.
It is worth mentioning that in the film, in order to show that Ma Gao deceived the people in the basement, Yugoslavia was still occupied by the Germans, and Ma Gao played the song "Lily Marlene" to the basement many times. This was during World War II. A very influential song in Germany, Fassbender, one of the four new film stars in Germany, once made a film about this song in 1981 "Lily Marlene". What's interesting is that a more important supporting role in Fassbender's "Lily Malin" also appeared in the film "Underground", playing a German mental hospital doctor in the 1990s.
