Werk ohne Autor / Never Look Away (2018) Director: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
The hardships of watching "No Master", since the life of the German artist Gerhard Richter, I don't know this person, who is known by the greatest artist in the world today (his works have experienced many records at auction) , not to mention the works of art referenced by the links in the film, and the perspective of the author of the commentary, but I was full of doubts when it was the film. After checking the original data, I checked the background of the film, and it is about the following personal records of the film. View.
The film's director Donnersmarck and biographer Gerhard Richter have a wonderful cooperation relationship. Richter's life has experienced witness and communist rule, during which his brother and eldest brother, aunt two key medical institutions, and his father committed suicide after the war, and his wife's My father was the doctor who suffered from the severe death that year (although I had known it for many years), and these dramatic backgrounds were recorded in the biography published in 2005. Donnersmarck is very intrigued by these storylines, and after researching a magazine from the early 1960s: Aristocrat Atomized "Photo Painting" (photo painting), which included pictures from the newspaper and the painter's family album, the director began to piece together His "ear" to Richter's life story.
Written and written, the pilot and the real person had a weekly conversation to stab and prove his hypothesis. His approach was to use the name of the number of Indians to explore, add a dramatic adaptation to tell the story, and make the writer and director really empty. Which are real and which are imagined. He refused to allow Donnersmarck to link directly to himself in his works. "I suggest that he should be a writer or a musician. These histories can be established without the characters as the protagonists." He also said that the director took over the play and his biographical story, As for the details, he declined to comment further.
Donnersmarck's response to this article is that there is actually no rich details. He understands the mood of the other party's travel and life story, but he also has a potential relationship with his Richter. Like Jürgen Schreiber, a biography reporter many years ago, painter William welcomes outsiders. Research his life story, but his life story starts again with denial.
This series of ambiguous relationships has put up the Gaita fog for how many movies have been upgraded, but the audience can still make their own judgments directly from the content of the movie.
(plot below)
"No Master's Work" has a clear melodrama style in the United States, and the creative direction of purifying historical scars with melodrama has been adopted in the director's debut "Eavesdropping Storm". The gorgeous photography, scenes, music and The story of handsome men and beautiful women is indeed successful as a love strategy to guide the audience, although the length and workers of more than three hours are more suitable for the rhythm of the TV series.
The story is roughly related to the theme exhibition of spiritual art, youth, and the last three paragraphs after fleeing to West Germany. The film opens with "The Degeneration of the West", which describes the little actor Kurt and his aunt. Accepted to see the band being screened for sterilization and even lost the war in Germany, to see the dramatic identity of the band after the war, to see the general's dystocia, thus concealing the fate of escaping the trial. After the tragedy of his father's suicide, he transferred to the art school and met his future wife Ellie, but the audience was shocked to realize that Ellie's father was Seeband, but Kurt had a familiar awareness of the future father's experience. Kurt got married and had an abortion for her.
Compared with the eight-point elements of all the melodramatic coincidences, another theme of the film is the relationship between philosophy, art and the individual, from extremes to the tragedy of co-producing individuals being restored and confronted by the state. The art of filmmaking shows the dualism of artistic totalitarianism against evil, which has become the driving force for Kurt to think about himself. The generality of the story calls for the confrontation between Kurt and Seeband. The director is full of ambition. In order to understand the relationship between music and politics in "Love Without Gun Smoke", the artless form in "Falling in the Air" flying in the air is not an art form of living in a labyrinth. How the two plots of the film are combined into the dramatic focus of the third act.
After escaping to West Germany, Kurt deliberately chose modern abstract art to resist the artistic restrictions under the power of the past. He poured into the art academy with a variety of creative directions, and he couldn't find any clues. "Finding the creative direction" became a new trend in melodrama. Finally, after being taught and educated to "find his own style", he returned to the real line and started his "photo painting". Lend the photo to arrange a key newspaper and photo exchange. The climax is a "hand of God" in which the wind blows the window. Kurt accidentally includes three photos, his aunt, Dr. Seeband and her wedding records. Frame: Take the same photo together. It is a historical print, but the audience naturally understands the relationship between the characters in the painting, as well as Dr. Seeband's shocking emotion when he inadvertently painted the painting. , to determine the winners and losers by the way of behavior.
However, Gerhard Richter usually does not explain the meaning of the painting, and even the photo "if it can be interpreted, it can have a meaning, it is an inferior painting". Moreover, in the case of painting, painting and photography, almost the entire dialectics of the two forms of painting and photography, what is the relationship between the content of the image, the photography, and the reproduction of the painting? And the tactile details added by the mystery, as if what is the effect of the picture? These artistic ideas seem to even want to confirm the claim, and the issues that the film can't handle or deal with are certainly beyond my comprehension.
Middle Coulter uses random numbers as an example to express his brainless idea. A set of numbers has no meaning, but these numbers are actually lotto jackpot numbers, and the meaning is very different. There may be viewers who are unable to connect behind the selection of photos. While depicting the unreal reality through the depiction of photographs, randomness may be a richer creative strategy in order to ambiguous and elicit the reality of the image, without acknowledging the representation of devaluation is always convincing.
What Donnersmarck wants in this film is actually a kind of "undecoded" action, grabbing the "lottery numbers" behind these "master works", so that the artwork and the author's historical life can be superimposed to create ideas. It's almost close to the painter's painting intention, but it's actually just a cheap imagination and implication? , abstraction, artistic creation that rejects ideas, encounters a melodrama that directly sets the meaning of inspiration (such as a scene in the film, the professor) directly burns the movie poster as a symbol of creative freedom), these are the two sides of one-to-one Massage? And is this so important?
So, Gerhard Richter rejects this dramatic art creator, and it is only natural how close Donnersmarck makes his theoretical story, which is actually a particular form of creator, and different forms of art take different attitudes .
