As for me, who is well-behaved, I have never dropped out of school since I was a child. This German movie, which makes you want to fall asleep while watching it, looks even more melancholy and depressing because it is in black and white. What appears in the film is the trivial life picture of the boy Nico's growth, he is like a bohemian prodigal son wandering on the streets of the city.
There is a scene worth noting. When Nico was unable to withdraw money from the ATM, he saw a homeless person lying in front of the ATM fell asleep and was about to steal the money from the homeless jar. At this time, she was bumped into by her former female classmate, and he had to put the money back, pretending to be "giving", and Nico himself was a little dumbfounded. This female classmate used to be very fat. After losing weight, she became quite beautiful. Her name was Eureka. Eureka has always liked Nico and wants Nico to fuck her.
At the beginning of the film, a middle-aged man said to Nico: "How much I envy you: youth, love. Maybe you have already considered whether to have a child." He is not financially independent. A man who is not financially independent does not have the minimum capital to build a family. He wandered the city in a daze, occasionally playing golf balls that didn't seem interesting.
After meeting a classmate from the film school, a few people gathered, a chubby man with eyes exaggerated and asked everyone: Why didn't we come to this world with a big smile? Why do we come out of the womb crying and screaming? Nico's answer is: To keep the airway open. He may be speaking from a scientific point of view, or he may just be adding humor. In short, he did not stand on the philosophical level. Because he lives in a shallow world, he is a shallow person. If he wasn't a shallow person, maybe he wouldn't be so confused. Many philosophers are also discussing the meaning of human life and why they came to this world. In my opinion, the birth of a person is accidental, and it is inevitable after birth, which is probably fate.
Eureka and Nico's relationship developed so quickly that they almost went to bed. Different from the situation of ordinary teenagers getting ready to go to bed, between the two of them, Eureka, who is a girl, is more active. She kept repeating "fuck the pudgy girl" to Nico. In the face of some idle social gangsters, she scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestor who took the lead. At the same time, taunting a small gangster, and when the dick grows big enough, he goes to the street to molest women. However, after Nico and Eureka made out, he voluntarily rejected Eureka's provocation and chose to drink at the pub.
In the tavern, he met an old man who lived in Hitler's era as a child, and he told Nico his childhood story. The first sentence I said struck a chord with me. He said: "I can no longer understand human beings, because I can't understand what they are saying." After an impassioned old man said meaningful words to the junior, he collapsed at the entrance of the tavern and eventually died.
After meeting the old man, Nico's temperament has changed a lot. He went to the hospital to wait for news, and was very sad when he learned that the old man was lonely all his life. Perhaps he is no longer confused. I have seen a line like this: When a person is old, he can always feel a hand from the coffin pulling him. As the folks say, half of his body is covered in loess. Nico should understand the truth, how terrible it is to be old, do meaningful things while you are young.
