1. The city tour guide who replaced Wendini in the middle and the latter part of the movie fully compared the differences with Wendini. The tour guide's commentary showed the philistine nature of the highly concentrated industrial and commercial society, and his words were nothing more than housing prices and property rights. Disputes, and when Wentini explained the city of Berlin, she told it from the history, let you see the overall change and focus of the city from the swamp, the palace, the modern city, let you see the city has been abandoned and then rebuilt , the most important thing, this city is not just a grand construction in history, culture and economy, in this city, in his location, it also has meaning and soul because of a kind of affection - when Wen When Tini posed the question "Where am I", the film focused on the model of the city of Berlin and montaged the cafe where the lover was, and the world was different at that moment. This reminds me of the Jewish pianist in The Pianist (2002) who was constantly hiding. The moment he played the piano in the post-bombing devastation, a desolate city became crystal clear.

2. The two men, Johannes and Christopher, have very different attitudes towards Wentini. From the second part of the movie, John Ners looked back to Wentini and said, "I've never seen you in work clothes. ", "I reserved your favorite room", the object of these two sentences can be any woman, representing his ignorance of the woman's life (previous sentence), and showing that he is the object of his concern (last sentence). From this, it can be seen that his knowledge and desire for Wendini are only superficial. On the other hand, Christopher knew, appreciated and fell in love with Wentini from her real state. Even the dilapidated hotel in the country did not hinder their emotional development. Christopher can be said to be "loving all people and being kind" in the Analects. Being able to be kind and loving means he has a high degree of perception and discernment.

3. In a relationship, it is a very dangerous thing to have unrequited love. In the breakup scene at the beginning of the movie, Wentini threatens to kill Johannes. The second part of the movie begins with a call from Christopher, and after entering a fantasy, treacherous, and even abstract and unrealistic plot, Wentini Whether or not Johannes was really drowned, there is no need to go into it, but there is no doubt that a past relationship will be cut off from the psychological level. This is also true on Christopher, after saying goodbye to the dead Windini in the lake, walking back to the shore and continuing his life.

4. Undine (2020) wanders between reality and reality, from myths, history, and symbols, into personal hearts and spirits, metaphors people's emotions with the flow of the city, the migration of the center of gravity, and the reconstruction after collapse On the other hand, the love is very high-end, and the sentient world is also high-end.

    Secret movie. The image of the river is a synthesis of the two opposing qualities of change and immutability, and it is also the deep texture of the time and space that permeates the city of Berlin (the original meaning of wetlands is mentioned in the film). These qualities are in Undine's dual identities. be manifested. She oscillates between the powers of myth and disenchantment—in that café, she hears the diver statue calling her back to her mystical qualities, when the most mysterious thing happens: love. Christoph's movement as a diver is the opposite of Undine's: from land to water, from the surface to the deep, which seems to cloud his relationship with Undine in a metaphorical way. The search for secrets is dangerous, and in the end we see that the explorer has returned to shore, and the city has retreated into the shadows she once inhabited.
