Retro outfits, natural scenery, dilapidated villas, beautiful girly cheeks, and serious, half-awake discussions between men. This 1974 road movie has poetry, philosophy, speculative and literary lines, and it was a wonderful way to move the camera at the time.
But if it is the exact same movie, no matter who the director is, if it is released in domestic cinemas, it may suffer a hundred times harsher rejection and scolding than "The Last Night on Earth".
In 1974, the German director discussed "the meaninglessness and emptiness of life", "death", "German loneliness", "poetry" and "politics and writing" in the film. Today, even if we discuss blood, we will still be ridiculed as "hypocritical" and "moaning".
Society A society despises metaphysical propositions, despising thinking, despising philosophy, and the only thing left is matter and rules. This is a superficial and violent value.
It is also a movie with lines full of speculation and philosophical discussions. The male protagonist is also a writer, and he feels that "Wild Pear Tree" has a higher consciousness. It's a different way of looking at the world that comes from the directors' values. "Wrong Behavior" is absurd, decadent, and numb, but this nothingness is a dramatic construction of youth, man-made, and incomplete thinking. The male protagonist has nothing to gain except laughing at himself, hating others, and being powerless to the world.
The male protagonist of "Wild Pear Tree" also had a nihilistic and alienated mentality at the beginning, but after many conflicts and integrations in his life, in the final snowy ending, he reached a profound reconciliation with himself, others, and the outside world.
