This is a film based on the best-selling famous novel in German history.
I believe that what the original novel itself shows is far more specific and profound than this 150-minute film, and to tell the story in the form of images, the effect achieved by this film is enough.
Although everyone praised it differently, it is still a fine work in general. Of course, this story is not complicated, but it is bizarre enough. For the character setting of the male protagonist, under the premise of being unconventional and even anti-human, all his actions have changed from distorted motives to their own logic. It has been fully believed by people because of its unreasonableness. However, this kind of character only serves the core of the film. In the seemingly thrilling and suspenseful dramatic plot, it is the final outbreak and sublimation of the story that makes all the foreshadowing play a role. A good story and a good novel must be interpreted by people with different concepts and perspectives. At this point, this film meets this requirement. The whole process of the story can be understood as philosophical, political, and ethical. With multiple metaphors and symbolic expressions, this is not just a simple story about murder.
In addition, this film is meticulously crafted in terms of photography, character modeling, art, etc. The overall temperament is quite intoxicating, especially the picture of the last nude carnival, which is hard to find in other films. scene.
The actors are all excellent, the male protagonist interprets the particularity of the characters vividly, the old actors are not disappointing, and the soundtrack is retro.
