This is the first time I have watched this German director's film completely. The plot is relatively simple, and it is not as unusual as his other films. The story tells the love story of a widowed German old lady and a foreign young car mechanic. The beginning of the film The atmosphere is very strange. On a rainy night, an old lady suddenly pushed the door and entered a young man's bar (mainly some foreign workers). The eyes of the crowd, obviously this uninvited guest is out of tune with the environment here, the arrogant waitress came over and asked her what to drink? The old man was very nervous. Maybe it was because he seldom went to the bar. The old man didn't know how to answer. She had to explain that she was here to take shelter from the rain. The waiter asked her to choose between beer and coke. The old man finally ordered the cheapest one in embarrassment. Seeing such a scene, the customers next to him encouraged the Moroccan youth to ask her to dance, and they expected to see what kind of joke they would see. The story unfolds like this. On the surface, it seems that this is just a story that reflects the ethics and morality of love. Whether it is the old man's co-workers, family members, neighbors, or the youth's fellow villagers, prejudice, discrimination, jealousy, and ubiquitous life around the old and young people. Faced with such a situation Criticism, how to decide? Is the fear retreat? She still strives for herself and accurately expresses the true heart of the old man through the detailed description of the film. She is hesitant but brave. She boldly tells her thoughts to her family and colleagues, even if she is laughed at by her family and surrounded by people around her. Despised, when her husband was discriminated against by the commissary boss, she bravely refuted the snobbish boss. The old man is lovely, pure and kind. Like every person who yearns for happiness, when he got married, he took his husband to an expensive restaurant to commemorate his wedding with his not rich salary. Lonely individuals, what people need most is just a little love and care. It cannot be denied that there are many realistic and uncertain factors in any relationship, but behind every happy ending must be a strong belief and Tolerance is the support. Love is not humble, fear is always the weakness of the heart.

    The plot is simple but the stamina is not small. The camera has always been coldly observing, the rejection of foreign immigrants in post-war Germany, the suddenness of modernization and the indifference of human nature. People who have nothing to do with the protagonist will hardly be in the same frame as the protagonist, or Being in a state of virtual focus magnifies the sense of alienation between people. In the bar, the man finally became blurred in front of the camera. When the two cherished each other, the pictures were all cool tones. After the cracks appeared, the pictures gradually changed to warm tones, and the sense of irony was self-evident. The mirror composition that appears at the end seems to imply the ultimate disillusionment of the relationship, and that love across classes will never end well.

    I saw Fassbender's self-declaration: "Why don't I want to live. Why should I die like that."
