Never Look Away--Art Is Both Secondary And Important

He devotes himself to art, seeking only true beauty. Under the chaos of war and repression, art is often both secondary and important. In Schindler's List, only available productivity like a mechanic can avoid being sent to concentration camps, and fluent writers and teachers of literature and history can only save their lives by entering the enamel factory in disguise.

In "The Pianist," Spearman moved the Nazi officers to get help by virtue of his affectionate performance of Chopin's "Ballet No. 1 in G minor". Sometimes art eventually occupies a part of human instinct, awakening kindness and conscience at critical moments. In "Wiretap Storm", the secret policeman Wessler was moved by the art of the playwright Dryman during the wiretap and chose to take risks to cover him secretly. The "this is for me" pun at the end, even though no one else knows about it, Wessler still happily accepts the "Sonata for a Good Man".

    Based on the history of East German painters who fled to the West during the Cold War. Movies based on real people's deeds will give the audience a lot of valuable and interesting information, but they are also prone to the problems of complex content and lack of focus, which is the case with this film. It's worse than "Wiretap Storm" here.

    2.5. From the perspective of a child to an adult, the first time the aunt was arrested, the second time the hospital took a group photo, and the montage explained the tragic fate of each family character, and quickly established the background. It's a pity that in the second act, when it starts to turn into the romance scene, it becomes long-winded. Elizabeth's name, the coincidence of her lover and her aunt, and some kind of sexual implication. The fourth protagonist perspective, the abortion scene. The comprehension of the protagonist in the third act is even more "design", the photo of the newspaper. It's almost too deliberate for the end of the shock to be constructed for what seems to be "smart" at the end. However, it is still interesting to think about art. For example, the protagonist once denied the meaning of painting, because taking pictures can fully reproduce reality. In the end, his painting was reborn by copying photos. In other words, taking a step back may be closer to reality.
