German Feelings

Last year's beautiful film at the Berlin Film Festival won the two heavy awards of best director and best actress in one fell swoop. It seems that the film also represented Germany in this year's Oscar competition for best foreign language film. I remember mentioning it in a blog post a few months ago, I have always had a good impression of the heroine Julia Yeates. After watching the three films of this little girl, I feel that she is making progress all the time. It is very interesting that the roles she plays also seem to be more mature and stronger than others. Maybe you only remember her youthful and energetic figure in "The Diary of Estrus", but in "The Good Days Are Over" maybe you should feel that her taste in filming is really different, so you can easily understand and admire her Her superb acting in "The Last Days of Sophie Sauer".

If Germany under the lens of Wim Wenders has been inserted with a pair of poetic and imaginative wings, Germany under the lens of Tom Tiwick is full of dynamic and electronic rhythm Roller-style running, Werner Herzot Ge is simply devoted to the research of anecdotes around the world, so this film is a pure to the original German film. What is "pure", of course, there can be no standard answer. You can understand and think that this film has brought the Germans' rationality and reasoning into full play. Except for the first half hour, 2/3 of the content of the film is carried out in the fierce dialogue (argument). The heroine played by Julia Yates, faced with all kinds of verbal temptation and mental brainwashing by the Nazis, is not afraid of danger, and perseveres in her faith struggle, and portrays a strong woman who still has unshakable faith even in the face of death threats. The performance is quite perfect. This is a movie that celebrates faith and belief, and in the eyes of someone who truly has faith and belief, death is a very light thing. When I saw Sophie Sauer walking on the guillotine at the end, I unknowingly remembered a sentence from the German new folk band Belborn: Germany has an eternal soul.

Therefore, this film should be recommended to all friends who love European movies and Germany.
