Little People's Stories

This is a movie about little people. Some things are always associated with little people, like money.

There are four places in the film that epitomize the word.
Once at the beginning, Dieter tossed the coin into the air, and the coin fell slowly.
Then the merchant spread the banknotes on the ground, and the wind blew them up.
Then there's the box of stamps that symbolize money.
In the end, he stood on the ladder and posted the money of various countries on the wall.

As a little guy, Dieter also has his own hobbies.
He can be harsh on train passengers' change, but throw the change on the ground and watch passers-by rush to pick it up - he likes to see the desire displayed by people.
This happens three times in the whole movie, or four times.
Except when he was at the train station, when he was a guy in a roadside tavern, where people would pick up money without hesitation—even a bit of a savage robbery.
But the people at the Serenity Hotel were different. They pick it up out of instinct, but there will be a sense of shame in the moment after waking up. They belong to the rich, but at most the nouveau riche, they do not belong to the upper class.
In his small room at the Paris Hotel, Dieter weighed the money in his pocket and put it back—perhaps he knew that the people who came here were the real high society, who really didn't care about money.

And different people's attitudes toward money reflect their attitudes toward women. The same thing is that they all like young and beautiful girls.
The uncles in the tavern looked at the beauties without hesitation, but the beauties did not object. Beautiful women know two things: they like to look at themselves, but they don't get paid for it. So this beauty was able to pour three glasses of raspberry juice on herself.
The beauties in the Serenity Hotel are well-trained, but they also have an added layer of interest. They need to cater to guests, and fighting is one of them. The guests here are within the confines of the hotel, showing their desires in front of all the guests who come here like themselves.
The upper-class people in the Paris Hotel are different, they are also looking at beautiful women, but in small rooms. Their desires are not exposed. Only the upper echelons in the same boat as them know this desire.

Dieter's step-by-step climb shows that the little guy is also restless and needs to climb.
And every time he climbed, it was because of his "differentness" - the first time was the favor of beautiful women, the second time was an unexpected windfall, and the third time he left, he had to say that it was related to that medal. Get relevant.
This also reflects the key word of another little person after two unexpected lucks - cleverness.

The word can be expressed in his disregard for the image of the restaurant tripping up a rival's chief waiter, or in his heroic rescue of a lady, while galling the Germans without sacrificing national honor.
But he is not a fascist like his wife, and his raised right arm is just one of the means of survival for him.

But if the movie depicts Dieter as just a little guy who loves money, loves women, and can play tricks, then the movie will undoubtedly fail.
Dieter is also a little guy obsessed with past glory.
He has taken out the huge medal that does not match his figure many times and hung it on his body seriously. For example, on the wedding night, or inadvertently teasing guests after many years.

He left the Paris Hotel with his wife, and returned to the quiet hotel in the past as a master.
But that doesn't hide his petty nature - no matter how similar his hairstyle and beard are to Hitler's, he's still a waiter - whether it's a wedding or a reunion after a long absence, hugging his hands while still holding on to it. Hold the champagne steady or hold the milk.

And his wife brought back not only stamps, but the decline of the whole of Germany. The former Serenity Hotel was transformed from a man-made base into a sanatorium, and finally ended in a fire.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but it appears to be doomed.
And Dieter's wife rushing into the fire to rescue the box of stamps also showed that she was just another little person - love money, like being surrounded by people, and being carried away by faith, but at the last moment she realized that faith is no match for money. .
Her departure is as doomed as the fire, and she only belongs to this era.

As a minor, Dieter also didn't show too much grief over his wife's departure. He was content with the wealth he had acquired. He could finally take another step up. And you can see the people here looking for fun with the mood of watching passers-by picking up coins.
Unfortunately, fate did not favor him this time. He finally failed to catch up with the trend of the times.

Years later, when the girl who followed the professor to find the right wood eventually left, he had nothing to do with him. Sitting in front of the large and small mirrors he had brought in, and looking at his old self, he might suddenly realize that he has been smart all his life, but he is just working his life for others—whether it is serving as a waiter for others, or being confiscated. property. He has looked at countless women in the mirror, but he has not looked at himself.

What if he served the king of England, the glory is for others to see. Outdated glory is worthless to the current self.
