There is a very interesting clip at the end. When the media introduced the work in front of the work, they avoided the naked woman and the Nazi officer respectively, and came to a painting without any controversy to take a good picture. Therefore, whether it is East Germany or West Germany, we will bound by ideology.

The prototype of the protagonist - German artist Richter, the abstract concept of early realism and late stage was born. As a German artist, his artistic style is inherently difficult to get rid of the relationship with the social and political environment. The director did not talk much about political ideology. The officers and workers and peasants that the protagonist kurt sang about in the early stage made him realize that art should not be like this. Why does it have such an effect on people; why there is an ideology at all, whether it is inevitable." Presumably Richter's experience in East Germany also had a great influence on him.

"Only freedom in art is not fantasy"

The work without a master is also a free movement that only the author can understand. Speaking of this, it will feel that the director's understanding of Richter and modern art is ambiguous, including Richter, who also thinks that this film insults and distorts his experience. If we really want to use a movie to explain what the artist himself has experienced and the process of style evolution in modern art, it is almost impossible. . who I am? what am i doing? where am i from? where to go? (Look ~ the essence of art is still the same... Haha skin

    Just like watching three episodes of American TV series, the development of the story intends to break the stereotyped convention, but I remember to pick it up and end it in a different way. A seed about art and freedom is planted early. In the little boy's heart, one day it will sprout in a way you can't imagine. Regarding art and freedom, in the comparison of the two paragraphs before and after, the director has clearly stated the theme he wants to express. From a creative point of view, the director is making more advanced attempts, but for emotional impact, which is easy to empathize with the audience, it has to be intentionally sacrificed. The director is just elegant enough this time, but the audio-visual language is still not up to the first-class level. ★★★☆

    Exhibits of political parties will be burned, and historical murals will always be erased. Art will ignite conservative, and imprison always paint freedom. The power of all things resounds overhead, the sound of the universe comes from the sound of cars, the formula of the world is written in the wind, and the real image is hidden in the painting. Turning the fetal position can save the world, cross marks can destroy lives, hatred is the blur in the picture, and love is the grease on the forehead. Combining two into one can nurture crystallization, create works, and rebirth art.

Never Look Away quotes

  • Professor Antonius van Verten: Don't vote for anyone. Never vote for another party again. Vote for art. It's either-or. In art only, freedom is not an illusion.After the Nazi catastrophe, only the artist can give people back their sense of freedom. Every individual, whether he's a garbage man or a farmer, has the chance to be an artist. if he develops his own subjective abilities without external guidelines. If you aren't free... completely free, then nobody else will be. By making yourselves free, you are liberating the world. You are priests. You are revolutionaries. You are liberators. Make your burnt offerings!

  • Professor Antonius van Verten: So, Lehmbruck. He said that each work of art must retain something from the first days of Creation. As if almost as if it were still divine... As if it were only just emerging from the primeval mass, from the rib... No. No, a different approach. Has anyone had an insight this week? A realization... you'd perhaps like to share?

    Kurt Barnert: Lottery numbers. If I tell you six numbers at random... 5, 7, 23, 29, 44, 11... that's just stupid. But if I read you the winning numbers from the lottery... May I?- "2, 17, 19, 25, 45, 48." Suddenly they have a true quality, something imperative, almost beautiful.
