return

If you let me talk about my understanding of this film, I think one of its overall themes is: return. What is return? It’s Maria’s return to her homeland, the return of the famous painting, the final arrival of a legal and justice judgment, and a divorced nation, the emotional conclusion... This is a story that runs through the case of the ownership of the famous painting, but it doesn’t stop. Here. With the background of the World War II platoon in ambush, the heroine wants to recover the famous painting. It can be seen that at the beginning her determination was not firm and not urged: from "I don't want to return to Vienna, which is sad", to "I'm going home, let the past go, litigation is not important", and then to tangled "Should I not" Let Adele stay in this place". The small changes in the inner world of the entire character are complementary to the process of returning the painting. In other words, this is a double return of body and spirit. I think this is a very touching part of the plot of the movie. In fact, when looking at the tortuous journey of famous paintings, I inevitably think of Chinese artworks that have been lost overseas due to wars in modern times. The ruins of the Old Summer Palace are still standing there quietly, leaving sentimental and sadness. There are not a few artworks that have been lost or disappeared due to wars in the world, but the recovery rate is extremely low. Those works of art that are silent in a certain corner, or even dilapidated, should be enshrined, for the world, it is a kind of spiritual imperfection. And this lack of spirituality and lack of culture distorted those "robbers" to plunder and lose more culture and spirit in that era of war. I always believe that art and culture should return to where they belong, just as law and justice will eventually return to their place.

    A well-known painting involves more than half a century of history. The melancholy gaze in the painting of the woman in golden clothes is a long story. "Philomena" is about finding, this one is about returning, and both have similar story templates and are equally moving. A Baose's smudged World War II past is an interpretation of countless sins and regrets, and at the moment of the millennium, the return of the famous painting means waving goodbye to the past. Fate is impermanent, life goes on as usual.

    There are a lot of dialogues in German. When I listen to it, I feel very tired. When I look at it, I basically feel a lot of sweat in my palms. I am full of heavy humor. I did not expect the description of the Second World War to be so specific and profound. A bunch of Germans don’t have a taste, the soundtrack and editing praised a few flashbacks! 65.

Woman in Gold quotes

  • Hubertus Czernin: Mrs. Altmann, your Aunt is around this corner. Are you ready for the reunion? Rightly or wrongly, she's become imbedded in Austria's identity. A national icon. Adele has become part of the country's pysche.

    Maria Altmann: Aunt Adele.

  • Adele Bloch Bauer: Do you like it?

    Young Maria Altmann: Why is it all gold?

    Adele Bloch Bauer: Ignore the gold. That's Klimt. Look at my face. Does it resemble me?

    Young Maria Altmann: Yes, but I don't think you look happy.

    Adele Bloch Bauer: I wonder what it will be like to be a woman when you are older. Whether you will have to amuse yourself with trivialities.
