In the Fade: A Realistic Social Film

Nels 2022-08-08 20:41:55

A realistic social film that reflects neo-Nazi terrorist attacks on minorities, but is slightly less profound. The movie "Out of thin air" tells the story of a mother who failed a lawsuit after her husband and son were attacked by neo-Nazis, and chose to die with the murderer in the same attack method. It is a pity that there are too few portrayals of Turkish husbands and mixed-race sons in the film so that the audience does not know enough about the victims, and they will feel weaker innately. However, the heroine's portrayal is indeed very good. In the prison wedding, the tattoos on her body reflect her slightly rebellious independent image, and her mother, who appeared later, is a very tough person. This mother-daughter relationship has been The profile also makes this character very three-dimensional, and you can roughly imagine her growing environment. Two things are a little unnatural in the film. One is that the heroine thinks of a neo-Nazi attack before the police. Maybe because of cultural differences, I feel very stiff. Can people think quickly? Second, at the end of the film, when the heroine first planned to blow up the murderer, she looked at the bird in the car window and gave up, as if she didn't want to hurt her life. Immediately after that, her menstrual period, which had been stopped since her husband, resumed. It is reasonable to say that this is to express her getting out of a state of mind, but she chose to die together for the second time. I'm not saying that it makes people feel far-fetched, but it makes people feel too romantic and not profound enough. However, the biggest problem of the film is not these details, but the most quintessential court scene in the whole film is not strong enough, and there is no strong jurisprudence that cannot help justice.
