      About restriction and openness

      Fassbinder’s understanding of the limitations and widening of spatial consciousness and emotional consciousness is not binary absolute. The confined space accumulated is for the explosion of open dynamic potential energy, which is caused by the unstable fate of the characters. Suddenly, the limitation and openness of space lies not in the physical environment, but in the flow of emotional consciousness.

      Still abuse

      On May 31, 1978, Armin Meyer once again came to the apartment where Fassbinder used to live, swallowed an overdose and committed suicide. Five days later, the administrator complained about the smell coming from the apartment. , Fassbender’s mother found his decomposed body lying in the kitchen when he visited the apartment. May 31st is Fassbender’s birthday.

      As far as the three Fassbinder films I have watched now, his later films all seem to be foreseeable. "Four Seasons Merchant"...

      Fox and its friends

      "Why not charter a flight?"
      "It's too expensive!"
      "But it's more free."
      "Whatever, you pay for it anyway!"
      The woman in the travel agency stared at Eugen, the family paper mill with contempt. The declining young master who is on the verge of bankruptcy, "humiliated" committed himself to the low-ranking man who came out of this street circus, he despised everything about him: his birth, manners, family, knowledge, and even the body he was tired of having tasted, but the...

      Class gap

      How can I miss the film starring Fassbender himself. He not only starred, but also played a gay role as in reality. The circus actor Franz was nicknamed "Fox", and because the circus was banned by the police, he lost his job. As the bottom of the proletariat, he likes to buy lottery tickets and is eager to get rich. From his behavior of defrauding the florist's owner to buy lottery tickets, it can be seen that he is a clever and cunning person like a fox. He successfully won the 500,000...

      Quite a shocking movie for me, I was impressed by the charm of Fassbender. In 1975, the film genius told the tragedy of a homosexual in a detached and indifferent image style - not social discrimination, nor heterosexual pressure, but the collapse of the gay community. To be honest, I didn't realize it until I watched the movie. Spinder is both a screenwriter, director and starring actor. He reveals his huge penis and the vitality of FOX, which makes the tragedy even more...

      The final ending is ironic to the point of being funny. The two children insisted on stealing all his valuables, and the two men who had been entangled with him escaped like a plague. But I always believed that there must be love, even if only for a moment, am I a romantic? Or am I just skeptical, if it ends like this, I doubt the process, and if it ends like that, I doubt the original...

      As soon as Fassbender's images break away from theatrical form (alternative life) and try to fit into life (grainy becomes water flow), each of his characters appears to be particularly panicked, and all the scenes are fluctuating and out of control. It makes me feel very uncomfortable (. He is too...
