I recommend a German film that was released last year. Since the content of this film involves politics, history, freedom... It can only be understood as an unspeakable point of thought. Therefore, the author can only evolve "detailed explanation" into "brief description", please Be considerate.

Entering the brief review, let's put aside the content of the film (the story itself) for the time being, let's take a look at the fineness geometry of the work?
First is the layout/idea
1, very German! The plot is rigorous and well-conceived, and the tense and suffocating atmosphere makes the audience feel immersed and unable to extricate themselves. It can be seen that the screenwriter and director have made a lot of careful preparations before shooting.
2, very historical! The traces of interpretation/modification are almost nowhere to be found, and the background decoration reveals a trace of historical bitterness and sadness.
followed by video/soundtrack
1. Lens language
a, in terms of composition, it is very positive, very pure and very atmospheric
b, in terms of color, retro flavor, full of sense of age
c. In terms of editing, it is just right, especially the two (one head and one tail) hot air balloon scenes, which perfectly set off the atmosphere of tension, anxiety, excitement...
2, the soundtrack is solid
From the chorus of children's voices like the sound of nature at the beginning, to the melodious string ensemble at the end, and the rendering of the "highlight" plot, the German soundtrack is as steady as Mount Tai.
Next, let's look at the story itself.
1. Content
a. Adapting real events from real people, without falsification or participation, just to highlight the word "truth".
b. The adaptation of historical events is not only the embodiment of "sense of age", but also the record of "indelible memory".
c. Witnessing Germany's superb industrial standards, the originator of mechanical flow is not just playing around.
2. Meaning
a. The wheel of history is unstoppable, how can it be changed by individual will?
b. How can the parties express the right or wrong, success or failure in the past? Only time and history can reveal the mystery.
c. The decline of East Germany, the rise of West Germany, and the fall of the Berlin Wall were not achieved overnight, but the shock wave effect produced by the superposition of "the right time, place and people".
That's it, click to stop, nothing else to say.
