It is said that the teachers of the film school dare not let the students watch it, hehe~ I am worried that they will become fanatical Nazis.
Going back to this article, even if I knew before that Riefenstahl was also Hitler's "lover" and "accomplice" (only in quotation marks) - I was a little surprised when I read the author's evaluation of her. In the article, I feel With the author's restraint, the words are still full of contempt and criticism of Riefenstahl. She believes that instead of saying that the "Nazi director" chose beauty, it is better to say that she chose a lie. One of the reasons for analyzing her personal growth process is that she lacks a stable and complete love life:
"In my opinion, in the life of Riefenstahl's rising and gaining glory, the biggest loophole is: She has never had a complete emotional life, she has not established a deep emotional connection with anyone around her, and she has not had the opportunity to listen to a person's inner heart for a long time and develop such a habit. She lacks sharing the quietness of life with others Only in these moments, while approaching the hearts of others, is it possible for a person to come to himself, to become familiar with himself, to listen to his own inner voice, to hear the weak and persistent demands of his own conscience, and to find a way to communicate with himself. "
First of all, this person doesn't have the truth of her own life, the truth of her thoughts and feelings... She takes who she wants to be as her true self, and this is just a serious misreading... . . . as soon as the relationship with herself breaks, the person is freed from any truth, whether it is her personal truth or the truth of society."
The reason for quoting the above two paragraphs is because, in my opinion, this is not only the Riefenstahl in the author's mind, which is portrayed by the author through psychological analysis, but also the main point of this long article-to be honest, I do not. I don't know very much about the era of Riefenstahl, and I haven't even seen any of her works, or about her works, but the author's point of view touched me very much, because the author is very calm to share with us Her perspective and method of observing human nature, and I also tried to understand the author's reasons and conclusions, but unfortunately - I really can't understand it at my level of understanding. Because I think if you want to understand historical figures from such a somewhat personal perspective, I am afraid that only with a background similar to Riefenstahl's era, a similar growth environment, a similar personal experience, and the most important thing ~ should be the people around her ~ can do it She made such a judgment, and Professor Cui is obviously not such a person~ In
other words, such a perspective is naturally suitable for a more profound analysis of a person's behavior, but maybe only Riefenstahl herself can summarize herself in this way~ If she wants to Otherwise, go back to the historical background to look at her, because the so-called sincerity and hypocrisy, truth and lies, in the story of Hitler and Riefenstahl, are more about the big era and Hitler. problem, not her problem.
