A Coffee in Berlin

Black and white, languid jazz, unmotivated protagonists and innocuous jokes, the film opens with a certain Woody Allen vibe. This debut novel from German director Jan Ole Gerst recounts the trivia in the life of an ordinary young man in Berlin. Tom Schilling, who made his name in "Hitler's Boys" at his 30s but still looks innocent, plays the protagonist, Niko Fischer, a law school dropout. Nick kept the secret from his father, and still received living expenses from his father every month....

Ah Boy: A Day in the Life of Vincent Nick

The beginning of a day, after all, is to end, neither obligation nor purpose, but everything is so simple, so natural. This day may be the most ordinary day for the idle Wen Qingnick, the same idleness, but it may also be the most extraordinary day for him, encountering so many people and so many things. Before this day, maybe he never thought about his future path, and after this day, maybe he...

Trivia for the day of August 30, 2017

A boy's day. If we only talk about one day, there are actually excellent examples. For example, "Super Body" is what happened in three days, but the content is very compact. But "Ah, Boy" isn't even a story, it's just countless trivial things that happen in a day. I really hate this kind of movie. The director (who is also the screenwriter) is expressing a feeling that I suspect is related to his experience. But I really think this kind of feeling is very boring, disguising uselessness as...

"I am an ordinary young man"

Can't remember the first time I watched "Oh Boy". An unmotivated young man, jazz background music, black and white pictures, all kinds of people, these ordinary elements mixed together, is what the film is all about.

At first, I didn't have any special feelings, or I watched too many "boring and trivial" films before I had enough patience to watch them. Stop-and-go these days, the wind blowing, the people I meet, remind me of this movie, Nico, and...

black and white sketch

An ordinary day in the life of a boy in Berlin. Tom Schilling, who came out of the German drama "Our Fathers", has not lost his childishness, but the layers of characters he brewed are so full, pure and sophisticated. The characters are as full of inner conflict as the movie itself, but full of tension.

Interestingly, many directors' debuts reflect the essence of why they made the movie in the first place. Whether it is a superficial philosophical question and answer or a deep-rooted...

Except for Hannah Arendt, the only full German film festival was fooled by the Hong Kong translation of "slutty beautiful boy" (there are many beautiful boys in the scene), but Tom Schilling is no longer the beautiful boy in Hitler Boys. It's better than other youth movies in that there is no fuss, and one star is deducted because it's made in black and white, it's just pretending, there's no need for...

After a hard day, I finally drank a simple cup of coffee, but the taste in my heart is not simple. I am stuck in the middle and don’t know how to change or even how to express my life. I really feel the same...
