Betrayal is shameful and disgusting blind love is sad

The heroine Nelly was rescued from the concentration camp by her best friend Lena. Riley suffered a lot from the concentration camp. She suffered fatal wounds all over her body and her face was disfigured. The doctor strongly advised her not to undergo plastic surgery according to her previous appearance. No one can go back in time. But Lena insisted on returning to what she was. She actually wanted her husband, Jonny, to be recognized when she reunited with her, and nothing could be changed for the sake of her lover. Nelly loves Jonny very much, and Lena has repeatedly persuaded her that she can't stop her from constantly looking for Jonny, even in the streets and clubs at night that are not yet calm and dangerous. I have been waiting, waiting to see when Nelly can give up and wake up: because she and her husband Jonny work in the same place, it can be said that they are staying together day and night. Although Riley has a slightly different face after the plastic surgery, Jonny can Saying that they look alike means that they can still recover. Many people came back from the concentration camp, ruining their faces and daring not to see anyone, but Jonny did not recognize her from the blue eyes of this woman who was fairly similar to his wife. , Did not recognize her from her voice, did not recognize the dictated handwriting, and never even knew the original color of his wife's hair. His wife was just glamorous in his impression, wearing a red dress and high heels bought in Paris. His love is so rigid, so thin. I didn’t even recognize Nellie from the hugs and kisses. Why is Nelly’s heart still unbroken? Her love is so strong that it overwhelms everything, and even makes excuses for Jonny’s possible betrayal. It’s so absurd. "Dead", Johnny, who has a huge wealth of his wife, has no face to listen. Listening to Jonny saying that he wants to reproduce his previous self and appear in front of a group of friends, Nelly’s collapse and the real seeing of the so-called friends who have already drawn a line between themselves to avoid misfortunes, listening to them just say polite words, it’s really like Jonny’s rehearsal didn’t ask her about anything like that, she didn’t ask what kind of sin she had suffered, and she really didn’t ask how a person who had just escaped from hell could be as elegant and calm as before, with a beautiful face and perfect makeup. The suffering and torture didn't ruin Nellie, Lena even used a photocopy of the divorce with Jonny to avoid being involved in her identity to awaken her and let her see all her fantasies. Lena is right, what has happened is impossible to go back to the past, and the despicable betrayal is disgusting. Jonny recognized her from Nelly’s singing and the unique number on Nelly’s arm, but as in the lyrics, everything was too late. What a great irony. I personally like the role of Lena very much, and having such a friend is really hard to cultivate in a few lifetimes.

    From "faceless" to "face-changing", Nelly's identity is volatile like a float. When Nelly's personal history and the history of the concentration camps overlap in the context of retelling, the former is wiped out like a grain of dust, and the latter However, it is still alive in the hearts of more people - the cause of "death" in the past has become an important reference and evidence for "rebirth", how ironic! So Nelly has been looking for the past, she put her eyes on the ruins, objects, love, and then silently waited for the feedback of the interaction, but just like looking up through the basement window twice, the man's departure and return are fixed by history As a standard action of spatialization, they cannot build a meaningful visual/auditory/tactile image, rehearsal and rehearsal must occur continuously, and any improvisational elements are not allowed, but the future, even if it is a short and not far future, Neither has any kind of legitimacy in this one-way interaction. Only in the end, Nelly's past and Jonny's past slowly dissipated in the talk low, coincidence pierced the empty shell of regulations, and the present and the future were long overdue.

    "Phoenix", which was reborn from the fire of war, finally died completely in the days and nights of PHOENIX. A woman is trying to find her place in the state of "Transit", but the plausible "truth" in the long history cannot repair her broken world and can only bring her a new identity and appearance. Although the story is set in Berlin in 1945, Petzold's work takes place in modern Europe, especially Germany. So the audience who pricked up their ears heard the truth at the end of the whispers.
