No matter what you remember, there is no doubt that this long scroll of "Along the River during Qingming Festival" records the appearance of all living beings in a certain place before and after Qingming in the Song Dynasty. Through the eyes of angels, "Under the Berlin Sky" also records many aspects of the residents living in the city of Berlin. Angels are detached. When they watch the life passing by around them, it is just like we came here to take a look at the famous "Qingming Shanghe Tu", and then left the hurried back indifferently. The angels are not involved in life. We are also not in the "Across the River during Qingming Festival". Therefore, in the eyes of the angels, the world is indifferent, calm and vast, and only black and white are clearly distinguishable.
Angels live as long as heaven and earth, but they can only pass their time by wandering between heaven and earth. What angels like to do most is to listen to the voice from the heart of mortals. Anyway, there are people in this world who are full of thoughts and muttering to themselves. All kinds of people appeared one after another under the eyes of angels, and the picture of Berlin's public sentiment was also unfolded. If there were no accidents, the angel would live mediocrely like a floating dust. But things are unpredictable, and there are sudden "accidents" from time to time.
An unwilling angel suddenly had a small wish. He wanted to stand between heaven and earth and feel the weight of his body. He wanted to taste the taste of coffee. He even hoped that he could bleed like an ordinary person. What is happiness, what is "pain"... When he said his wish to his companion, he only won a cold smile from his companion. The companion said: Sometimes it is good to accept the devil's gift.
No one agrees with the wishes of the angels, and no one thinks that the wishes of the angels will come true one day. By the way, while the angels listen calmly and soothingly to the voices from the mortal world, the pace of the film is also suffocatingly slow. People's deep voices are like a natural sleeping pill, making people drowsy. I did not watch this film alone, and Huang Zhenglu was with me in the teaching and research room. When I felt that the movie was a little dull, he had already fallen asleep for a long time. However, after the angel accidentally met a woman who was swinging in a circus and fell in love with her, the flash of brilliant colors saved the film's indifference and dullness.
From then on, rich and delicate feelings begin to fill the empty hearts of angels and us as audiences. I even stubbornly believe that emotion is the key factor that causes angels' wishes to come true and fall into the mortal world to become ordinary people.
As the angels become mortals, the film changes from black and white to color. After experiencing the baptism of indifference and depression in black and white, I realized for the first time how happy it is to be able to see gorgeous colors. The angel was as ecstatic as I was. He stopped passers-by pointing to the graffiti on the wall and asked what color it was. He rushed into the roadside snack shop to experience the taste of coffee... After confirming that he was a real "human", he was elated The ground set foot on the journey to find the woman on the swing. The ending of the angel is still very beautiful. Although there have been twists and turns, the lovers have finally become dependents.
I can only superficially understand the film to this extent. In fact, the movie puts forward many serious propositions and thoughts through the eyes of angels, such as history, war, suicide, life... The brave angel in the movie finally fell into the mortal world and embraced the beauty, the cowardly or unbelievable What about the angel of feelings and mortal things, such as the angel's companion who still wanders between heaven and earth? The video doesn't tell us the exact answer. The happy ending of the movie obviously doesn't explain anything. Everything the angels have witnessed is staged and continued helplessly, including the oppressed black and white in the eyes of the immortal angels. It can even be said that there is no definite ending for both movies and life. Angels and mortals are just creatures on the road.
At the time of writing this, I can probably confidently say that "Under the Sky in Berlin" is the "Riverside Map of Qingming Festival" in Berlin drawn by Verders. Stories on the road.
