In the simple and elegant style of the art film, it still brings out many themes, the multiple pulls of gender, love, politics, work and life. The heroine wants to escape from East Germany for her lover in West Germany. Rebellious, but the film still presents the ubiquitous pressure of white terror, and the human observation in it. It cannot be said that the filming is not delicate or in-depth, but it is still very much like watching a French literary romance, and the historical weight of the subject matter is somehow missing.
"Yaguo's Mission" is trying very hard to create the atmosphere of the times, whether it is character modeling, scene, color texture of the picture and a bunch of popular culture references, of course, this is the inevitable theme and genre. "Running For Love" is a more personal story, and the writer and director almost don't care about the atmosphere of the times, so after watching the movie for half an hour, I always thought that the time was in the modern era, and I couldn't tell the difference between the times. Fortunately, I took a look at the plot synopsis before, and then I slowly organized the background of the movie in my mind. To be honest, if you watch this film blankly, it may take longer to enter the situation.
