"The Good German" (The Good German, Good German, Good German, Good German, United States, 2006)
Retro and nostalgic A classic black-and-white film of World War II love and crime noir. The masterpiece of American director Steven Soderbergh. Based on the German novel of the same name. In Berlin during the Potsdam Conference in 1945, a story intertwined with conspiracy and love, sin and pain: a corporal orderly in the US who was blindly greedy for money and lust, and whose hero saved America's life, an unforgettable wartime lover, an American journalist who was in danger in investigating murders, Insulted and damaged, German-Jewish beauties whose souls and bodies have long been separated... Is there really a difference between Nazis and non-Nazis? The most disturbing thing about war is that it ruins people's hearts. Mysterious and dark, interlocking, suspenseful to the end, refined and sharp. Just a little formalism. Cate Blanchett, George Clooney, Tobey Maguire, Beau Bridges, Tony Curran, Starring Leland Orser.
[Laughing Alone Press: Oscar nomination for Best Film Score. The film is R-rated. Critics have mixed reviews for Soderbergh's deliberate copying of 1940s film noir, represented by Casablanca (1942), as either reproducing the legend as superb, or as morbidly obsessed. The film's failure in box office revenue may also have something to do with the public's difficulty in recognizing this classic copying. The German-Jewish beauty in the film once became a prostitute in the war and was raped when Berlin fell. She said something meaningful to the American reporter, "No one can really get rid of Berlin." Some fans and netizens commented on the film The theme is "everyone could have been a Nazi, and everyone could have been a prostitute", which is quite accurate below. The Chinese title of the film may be inexplicably translated as "Wolfen Headquarters". What you see below is a D9 DVD with Mandarin dubbing and two Chinese subtitles. IMDb has a rating of 6.1 for this film. 】
