A work of genius, created by the hand of God

A three-hour movie might scare off a lot of people.

But I think it's a rare masterpiece.

The story takes me through the experiences of a painter from childhood to adulthood, taking me through the Nazis in 1937, World War II in 1945 and the establishment of the Berlin Wall in 1961.

On the journey of finding "I" and "Reality", the painter is constantly moving forward. Although his aunt was "euthanized" by the Nazi party, his childhood friend was bombed to death in the war, his father committed suicide under pressure, and his wife was forced to have an abortion by his former Nazi father-in-law... He always kept a pure heart in pursuit of art. "reality".

In the end, in the scene where he creates his masterpiece, it's hard to tell whether he created the art or the "real" art.

Or maybe, "reality" is a kind of art,

And God just happened to be passed on to the world through the hands of the painter...

Therefore it is called: the work of no master.

    The result of connecting the clues into the final "untitled work" is shocking, and everyone's acting skills are also very online, but the story is told in pieces, too protracted and scattered.

    Personal best of the year so far. A great nation dares to face its unbearable past. Moved by the exploration and questioning of history, human nature and art, and the praise of freedom and truth. If you've ever seriously thought about "me, me, me", it's impossible not to love this movie. What are you really feeling? What are you really trying to express? Gained too much.
