Friends may not have to meet
Larue 2022-04-21 09:01:21
Just finished watching this movie and don't want to say anything about the plot or anything else. No flashy colors and no exaggerated lens language. Quite a silent movie. HGW XX/7 never smiles from beginning to end, and the other people in this film seem to never smile at all. The happiest laugh I remember was when the guy who ended up examining the letter with HGW XX/7 was telling a joke. But it was still deprived of the right to smile by the political shady. Including the processing of the hue and the processing of the light, it is basically unpleasant. But such a heavy film expresses the friendship between men in the most authentic way. I think this friendship transcends many things. It's hard to imagine that two men who have never met each other put so much energy and respect into each other. This movie got me thinking about friendships in real life. In fact, I haven't lived a life of endless eating and drinking, and now I prefer to feel some quiet things. But that's not to say that all the fun between friends is fake. I just got a better understanding of what true friendship is through this movie. This kind of thing transcends language, like the final epilogue. Without any excessive footage and plot. One word says it all!

The actress being hit and killed by a car is really an obvious flaw.

Four and a half stars, wet eyes by the ending; even if there are flaws, I still want to believe that there is a touch of warm humanity in this desolation; Brecht's words and Beethoven's music make this rigorous and rigid interrogator slowly Melting, this is really a too idealized story, and also a too cruel story; long-term trust is not safe, the sympathy in the dark will be able to shine in the future.

Georg Dreyman: The state office for statistics on Hans-Beimler street counts everything; knows everything: how many pairs of shoes I buy a year: 2.3, how many books I read a year: 3.2 and how many students graduate with perfect marks: 6,347. But there's one statistic that isn't collected there, perhaps because such numbers cause even paper-pushers pain: and that is the suicide rate.

Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Madam?
Christa-Maria Sieland: Go away. I want to be alone.
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Madam Sieland?
Christa-Maria Sieland: Do we know each other?
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: You don't know me, but I know you. Many people love you for who you are.
Christa-Maria Sieland: Actors are never "who they are."
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: You are. I've seen you on stage. You were more who you are than you are now.
Christa-Maria Sieland: So you know what I'm like.
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: I'm your audience.
Christa-Maria Sieland: I have to go.
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Where to?
Christa-Maria Sieland: I'm meeting an old classmate. I...
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: You see? Just now, you weren't being yourself.
Christa-Maria Sieland: No?
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: No.
Christa-Maria Sieland: So you know her well, this Christa-Maria Sieland. What do you think - would she hurt someone who loves her above all else? Would she sell herself for art?
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: For art? You already have art. That'd be a bad deal. You are a great artist. Don't you know that?
Christa-Maria Sieland: And you are a good man.
