simple story, heavy background

A very simple story. The two families live in East Germany. They seem to be rich and happy, but because they are not free, their neighbors are secret police, and they are under surveillance everywhere. It has been a long time since I saw him, and I miss him so much, so I spent two years making a hot air balloon to fly from the sky to West Germany at night, but because the cloth was not waterproof, the first escape was unsuccessful, and the deeds failed. , in the case of police pursuit, they had to quickly organize a second escape.

The second escape was under the crisis of being discovered by the police at any time, especially when I knew that the police had raided the town, the preparations were not very sufficient, but I had to set off immediately. The balloon was on fire, the pipeline was frozen, and the gas was not enough, but the two families also arrived in West Germany safely, realizing their dream.

The rhythm of the movie is very good, but it is very disturbing to watch, because some arrangements are intentional, so that you know that they can escape, but you are still worried that they will be found at any time. I feel that this kind of plot can be appropriately deleted. Because it's too long.

I know that the Berlin Wall was built during World War II, and I also know that the two sides belong to different camps and have very different ideologies, but there is always a question in the process of watching the movie, why are you willing to risk the lives of the whole family? Go over this wall and go to West Germany too, because there are family there? But there are also family here. Because of the envy of the society there? But life here is also very rich, why is that? free? equality? democracy?

There is another feeling, living on the same earth, as human beings, people from the same country before, why do we create so many barriers, obstacles and tragedies artificially, I don’t believe that captains are born wanting to kill, so they must correct them and escape For people, all this is due to ideology and institutional requirements, because fleeing at that time was equivalent to treason now, and people have different views and judgments on different things in different eras and backgrounds.

Also, I don't understand why the US is sanctioning China now. Your economy is so advanced, and the US dollar is still the world's currency center. China has only developed for 20 to 30 years, and there is still a long way to surpass you. China's development The essential purpose is not to surpass you, control you, and hegemony you. Their essential goal is to make the people earn more, live better, and be happier. Why is it that the country you keep trumpeting democracy and human rights has behaved so unacceptably in recent years? The countertop is simply no face, completely subverting my perception of a big country and my impression of a developed country.

ps: I saw a movie about escaping the border a long time ago. It seemed to be on the Iranian side. In the end, I managed to escape by water. I forgot the name. The rhythm is also very good and it is very beautiful.

In addition, this film was watched late at night on the sofa of my sister's house in Shanghai during the 5.1 holiday.
