listen to my analysis

I like the tone of this film, a little humor, a little absurd. A lifetime of thinking, not preaching. The depth of black and white film.

It is no exaggeration to call it a comedy, they are all good actors, but the tone of the film is realistic.
Those absurd appearances feel plausible.
The director gave me a surprise and asked me to think about how to write the film review. I felt it, but the organizational logic was not in place. . . .

Everyone says that the male protagonist has nothing to do. In fact, I feel that he has encountered a period of confusion. This period of confusion is due to the society giving him, and the absurd behavior of the society (such as the behavior of the neighbors, the behavior of the coffee shop proprietress, the two people in the subway The absurd and interesting behavior) left him at a loss, just like what the old man in the bar said, although he was also in German, he didn't know what other people were talking about.
In fact, everyone is confused, but it is normal to look at other people, just like the girl who plays a contemporary drama sees that the hero is so assertive in her school days and knows what she is doing at all times. But the protagonist is also confused.
Boys are kind, good at thinking, but also go with the flow and helpless.
At least the boys think at this lost time, the others don't have time to think, which is actually sad.
Finally the director gave a happyend and he found his coffee. As the director said, when he has responsibilities and responsibilities, he grows up.
Good movie, humorous tone. If it were me, I would design the last old man to be the Nazi officer played by the actor, and when he finally said his name, it was actually the real Nazi officer in the movie. To add some chance to the film to show the absurdity of the society and the story to increase the surprise of the audience.

    A boy's day is free and undisciplined, independent, sleepy, lonely, and persistent in following the crowd and at the same time grasping the serendipitous occasions in life. He seems to live more than those who follow the rules or stay in place. This is the boy.

    A cup of coffee, out of confusion

A Coffee in Berlin quotes

  • Julika Hoffmann: [to a thug] what kinda guy are you? Let me guess. You were born an alcoholic because your mom couldn't stay off the booze during her pregnancy. How could she, when she got beaten up by daddy when he came home from the pub?

  • Café-Shop Angestellte: So, what it'll be?

    Niko Fischer: Coffee, please.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: To go, right?

    [pause]

    Café-Shop Angestellte: What kind?

    Niko Fischer: Just normal coffee.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Wanna try something new? Today's special is the Marocchino. For 2 Euros extra, you get a doughnut or a seed roll, all homemade and organic.

    Niko Fischer: I think I'll stick with the coffee.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Sure, we've got two kinds: the Arabica and the Columbia Morning.

    Niko Fischer: Which coffee tastes most like a regular coffee?

    Café-Shop Angestellte: I like both.

    Niko Fischer: I'll take the Columbia.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: The Columbia, then.

    [pause]

    Café-Shop Angestellte: You want milk. We've got soy milk.

    Niko Fischer: No, thanks.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Okay, then. Three Euros forty, please.

    Niko Fischer: Without today's special. Just the coffee.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Yes, three forty.

    Niko Fischer: Three forty for a regular coffee?

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Yeah, that's the Columbia.
