      Deutsche Year Zero

      Taking the death of the father as the threshold, before death is typical neo-realism, the content is ordinary people struggling for basic living conditions; after death, it tends to inner realism, showing that the child is homeless from a certain distance, which is material, It is also a spiritual home. Here Rossellini broke through the limitation that the Italian New Reality only described the lives of Italians. However, this practice shows that the aesthetic ideas of Neorealism are also...

      Humans are not good at the beginning

      Although I can't argue for the statement that "human nature is inherently evil", at least I can cite a large number of examples to overturn "human nature is inherently good", such as this article. Being indifferent and turning a deaf ear, it may be for its own interests, and it may have long been unclear right and wrong in the environment of calling deer a horse. Subjectively, I prefer the latter, which also indirectly shows that people are not good at the beginning, and they have...

      Pseudochemical Component: Lemonade

      Evidence for Marthaley. Do you know that some people put salt in wine. It's like proving that it's not Matelli who has added salt. In fact, it can be equal to more propositions, such as how far does it count as Gyeonggi, or how to donate and abandon the countryside. Once simple is no longer simple, more often becomes irrelevant. Lemonade is not far from lemon biochemical substances, and it doesn't matter who uses it. But if you look at the seemingly complete list of adding new growth, you...

      human, too human

      Human, too human
      —if there is no kindness, everyone will be an orphan

      . Perhaps the phrase "God is dead" is not very pleasing, and even if you investigate it carefully, it has a bit of apocalyptic tragedy. These four words can't be more accurate to describe this film.
      "The First Year of Germany" is a film based on Berlin after World War II. As shown in the "Introduction" made in black on a white background at the beginning, Rossellini used the life of a child to interpret...

      Germany Year Zero

      Germany Year Zero
      This film describes the social circumstances of Berlin after WW II, in particular, the ruined and desperate life of normal Germans at that time. It was regarded as the emblem of neo-realist film in Italy. It has been seen that in many of his neorealist films, Rossellini tended to utilize local non-professional actors with the purpose of restituting the objectivity and preciseness inherent in the very reality. At the beginning of this film, a boy called Edmund, the film's...

      Walk back to make up a few works. In all aspects, it truly lays the foundation for the works that neorealism is inclined to. Whether it is a script or a video, the "real" narrative and a level of social concern have been achieved to the...

      The first five-star in the new year is offered. This is not only a realistic picture of the German nation after the war, but it also goes beyond the established conventions of traditional realism to a certain extent, and begins to approach the deep and empty inner state of the people under the post-war social reality of the weakened people. The camera accompanies the characters in the ruined urban landscape. On the one hand, these urban landscapes completely overwhelm the spiritual foundation...

      The blurred image cannot hide the tension of the camera, and the ghost of history lingers in Edmund's pace. After a few skillful transitions, the camera focuses on Edmund as he wanders the ruined streets. Hitler's victory speech on the tape recorder became the greatest irony of this ruined city, and also revealed the haunting haunting Nazis had on the people. Instigated by his pedophile teacher, Edmund suffers by killing his ailing father. He continued to walk among the ruins, still retaining...

    The film mainly talks about the disasters brought to the people by war. War not only plunges people into hunger and poverty, but also produces abnormal psychology of children. On the surface, the film blames the child’s father-killing and suicidal psychology on a teacher’s educational mistakes, but in fact it is exposing German Nazism, believing that they are the root of all these evils.

      Karl-Heinz: Didn't I tell you to send Edmund to work?

      Eva: You don't do anything. You just hide, and yet you want to eat and drink. You don't ask where I go every night. All that matters is that I come back with a couple of cigarettes for you.

      Karl-Heinz: Did I smoke them?

      Eva: No, but you know that cigarettes are like money.

      Karl-Heinz: Should I thank you for that? Nowadays everybody does it.

      Eva: They do worse things, too.

      Karl-Heinz: You see?

      Eva: Then tell me to sell myself!
