    B+ /【13th NBFF】The ending is highly praised. Petzold is very good at extracting detached symbolic meaning from popular melodrama. The heroine herself is the historical ghost who broke into the current life with the rebirth attitude of the "phoenix". Two attitudes extend from this: face it (death) and avoid it. As the heroine of the ghost itself, in the process of playing the role of the wife to repair her appearance, she constantly faces her "past" through her husband, puts it down and moves...

    [emucinema] A tense guttural sound, to a gradually clearer tone. Ironic and playful figures on the forearm. The ending is a kind of speak low, simple, cruel, silent decision. "Small" stories also have a chic...

    In order to survive, you can sell your wife during World War II; for inheritance, you can find someone to pretend to be your wife after World War II (the person you find is precisely his wife after plastic surgery). Nice...

    The ending shouldn't be so...

    The heroine escaped from the concentration camp by chance and was disfigured. After plastic surgery, she insisted on looking for her husband. The husband didn't recognize it, and instead let the heroine pretend to be his wife, in order to obtain his wife's huge inheritance. The heroine did not reveal it, but unexpectedly found that she was arrested and betrayed by her husband... In other people's World War II movies, they wrote about one by one, but there are no people in our World War II...

    After watching the third episode of sharp objects, I fell into a mood again, regardless of whether it was good or bad, but it had a long aftertaste. The experience was very similar to that after the Phoenix was over the day before. Maybe it's a bit far, but no matter whether it is a phoenix or a sharp weapon, it is indeed such a work that the expression of emotions, or the expression of emotions, is raised to a very high level by the means they are good at. Bring the audience together: Come,...

    Stunning! Under the direction of Petzold, the perfect blend of literature and film. The memory struggle in the framework of literary blank processing and identity loss. Nelly's self-justification in the bicycle part, the romantic plot, and the final struggle and death. The dark phase Pygmalion-esque parody banter undoubtedly constitutes the most powerful irony of the whole work. In fact, the transformation of Nina Hoss before and after is very accurate. The glare of the train station is a fool...

    I don't like her because she escaping reality and doing stupid things for "so-called love" It turns out that it's just like her husband said that no one cares about her suffering in the concentration camp Everyone silently wants to forget this story but she is the only one Li will never be forgotten, just like the number engraved on her poor woman is still complacent that her husband remembers the color of his pupils she was once, maybe married to love, and ended in war and slaughter She will...

    If "The Phoenix" repents, it is also a late repentance

    In the 1940s, the enviable couple in the Berlin music circle was involved in the torrent of World War II. The singer Nellie was arrested in a concentration camp because of Jewish descent, and then her husband Johnny, who was of non-Jewish descent, was released. Freed, this happy little family...

    The spirituality of the phoenix

    War can bring back many love achievements, but it does not include the story in this film. The female protagonist Nelly is not weaker than Mara in "Broken Blue Bridge", but she failed to have Roy's loyal love to Mara.

    The tone and picture of the film are very similar to the...
