Although the story is placed in a modern context, such as the heroine's urban planning and explaining the identity, as well as several urban changes in Berlin that account for a large proportion of the text itself, and the close-up of the train, you can see the director's feelings for the city and an obsession with architectural planning.

But in essence, the director seems to be a person who is very full of retro feelings and romantic pursuits, whether it is a script highly based on ancient myths and legends, or a B-movie-style spectacle and character structure (femme beauty and triangle relationship); romanticism It is reflected in the loyalty of the characters to the feelings and the pursuit of a perfect and pure love story. Therefore, the details of love life under the modern background can not help but empathize, and those who get along like glue at the beginning of the relationship can feel love. The original romance of the film, and the director's training skills are also vividly reflected.

Therefore, integrating the feelings of classical romanticism into the background of the modern story has a wonderful scene and a new interpretation. This is one of the manifestations of the director's strong authorship. The biggest highlight of which can be remembered is that a series of character missions that need to be completed by the (female) water demon in the myth are added to men through several turns in the script.

Wentini's current boyfriend Christopher has the identity of an underwater operator. On the day of the accident, through a non-existent phone call, he completed the process of transitioning the identity of the water demon from the heroine to the hero for the first time; After the demon "killed the male partner who betrayed her" mission and then dived into the water to "suicide", she returned to her original identity and returned to life in exchange for the male protagonist; the male protagonist continued his life and created a new life (girlfriend). pregnant), and then through the last underwater meeting, the identity relationship between the two no longer has the function of interchangeability. The male protagonist has returned to real life, while the female protagonist has permanently become a self-sacrificing water demon. When she started to retain her ex-boyfriend The word "forever" is emphasized.

Personally, I like Berlin very much. The scene of the poster walking by the Spree River, the cafe on the front of the museum, and the scenes of countless trains and the scenery outside the car window are exactly the same as all the imagined and visited Berlin. At the same time, I can feel that the director's lens is full of emotions.
