I've watched this movie more than twice, and I've watched many episodes over and over again. Of course, it's mainly to practice German and recite the lines over and over again. I took dozens of pictures. The Xilin in this is still good-looking, and the stills are much better than the posters.
I can't say how good the plot is, the narrative is quite flat. More psychological descriptions. Here's a compliment for Xilin's acting skills. I think his acting is quite delicate. His little brow wrinkled and the corner of his mouth crooked, tsk tsk.
I still resonate with Fischer. In my sophomore year of high school, I suddenly didn’t want to study and started watching movies and novels. After struggling for half a year, I began to fiddle with philosophy. I was originally a person with very firm ideals. I matured much earlier than many of my classmates. That year, I suddenly felt that life was like a dream and what was the meaning of it (yes, it was the second crime), and then I wasted my studies. When I got tired of playing, I figured it out and went back to study obediently. So I actually understand niko very well. People always have a process of maturation. One has to get into the second angry youth once. Otherwise, you will always be just an ignorant child. No matter how many books you read, you must commit the crime yourself. Once and twice, then wake up and realize how stupid I am. However, as far as I know, many people have not had this experience, and they grew up in a hurry, which is a pity.
I really think the film is well done, black and white is no big deal, as long as you can see the little angel's face clearly. The ending is especially good. Anyway, I was very moved by watching it, and because of this, I was full of inexplicable goodwill towards Berlin.
Later, when I went to Germany, the first stop I chose was Berlin. As the plane approached over Berlin, I took out the oh boy and watched it again.
After World War II, Berlin was divided into two parts. While East Berlin was struggling with food and clothing, West Berlin became a paradise for life and death. Niko is considered a grandchild of the generation in World War II. At this time, the Berlin Wall has fallen and the world has changed dramatically. It is difficult not to be confused.
