      Wendine

      New here..." The man muttered to Zilin in the dark, and before Zilin could reply, he sighed and continued, "Ah... hurry up and sleep, if you have anything to say tomorrow. After saying that, he turned over, covered the quilt, and continued to sleep. Zilin in the dark showed a slight smile, but he restrained it in an instant. Two seconds later, Zilin He moved his neck from side to side twice, walked to the empty bed, and lay down on the bed. Then, he began to think... He can't sleep. Not...

      Murder of a scumbag (severe spoilers)

      story background:

      Man: You can deceive me, but you can't deceive your heart.

      Woman: I can betray you, but you can't betray me unless you want to die.

      Insane men and resentment of women, separate and combine, always fall in love with each other and kill each other.

      However, there is a kind of scumbag who always threatens to die.

      The story is about the handsome...

      The Willingness of the Water Elemental Spirit

      The title has nothing to do with the content. This is written for myself, persuaded to quit.

      Undine, when I saw the name, the first reaction was Undine of Fouquet, and the second reaction was Undine geht of Bachmann.

      Undine's revenge in the film has the color of Undine in Bachmann's novels, and is also an independent woman, but lacks the courage and courage of Bachmann's women. Undine in the film is more like being forced to take revenge. For the sake of the loved one, he had to...

      This is everyone's love

      The whole movie did not describe the sweet love between Wendini and her ex-boyfriend Johansson, but this relationship was a secret spell that couldn't be shaken off. Even at the sweetest moment between her and her new love, it would suddenly flash and hammer her heart. Love can be compensated from another person, which is what we call the way to get out of one relationship is to get into another relationship. But is this fair to Christopher? His psychology will eventually be unbalanced, and...

      Myths, Elves and Trauma - Petzold's "Wendini"

      The surprising thing about "Wendini" is that in 2020 we can still see such a mythical and allegorical movie. Especially in Europe, with the continuous changes in the political situation in recent years, the political tendency in film creation has been deepening, especially in 2019, a time node known as the "Year of Street Protesters". The European art films of 2009 have taken political issues as the theme and purpose, such as "Pain and Glory" which explores body politics, "Young...

      A woman who wants to give love. The fish tank burst and the two fell to the ground. The fragments stabbed straight into the body like a dagger of love. When they met, it was clear that they could not end. Paula Beer acted well without re-reading Undine's mythology, it always seemed like a lack of understanding of the...

      Fish Tank Broken Surprise!...

    • By Krista 2023-08-21 20:13:00

      When the gaze overlooking the architectural model overlaps with Wendini's flashback, a wonderful feeling emerges, the grandeur and the individual, the history and the present. Petzold gave Vintini the role of city docent, a kind of wonderful metaphor of medieval legends like the continuous formation of urban landscapes in precipitation. The shattering of the fish tank and the opening of love clumsily reconcile enough realism and subtle eccentricity. Sudden love doesn't seem to be able to...

      Stiff, goofy, and purely plot-driven, but by no means contrived. Petzold does not hide the traces of collage of surreal elements in his classical narratives at all, and even the whole film grows on the basis of "collage", forming a kind of Kurishov effect in the textual sense. What it tells is the logic of tension and tension resolution between collage texts, rather than the scheduling organization within a single session. This is a kind of tension in the compositional sense that is very common...

      The men and women who are in love do not sleep in, grab their clothes and chase the train. Passionate about men and women without sex, telling about the changes of the city naked. Men and women in love can feel their heart skip a beat. The mermaid turned into a docent, the sea turned into a mulberry field, the palace turned into a square, the East Germany and the West Germany became one, and it turned into a bubble for...

    Evaluation action

    "Undine" has a traditional and classic narrative. The camera does not shake and there are few close-ups of characters. Most of the time, it keeps a distance from the audience. So the audience knows they're watching a movie with fictional characters, but director Christian Petzold tells the story so quietly, even knowing it's just a movie, I will still be moved by the characters and be saddened by love. The appearance of the film is a...
