Nie Wegsehen

I watched it 1.5 times in a row (the second time I jumped to watch it), the male protagonist is really touched by what he experienced.

——When I was a freshman yearning for freedom, I pursued myself effortlessly. Since entering the studio in the second year of high school, it is like the male protagonist living in the social realism and later "freedom" environment of West Germany after entering the school. Although his original intention is not destroyed, he is still prone to blindness and confusion. In the second semester of my junior year, I gradually separated from the original environment and persisted in walking on a road that was still unclear. However, direct or indirect influences began to appear around me, just like Professor Seeband said, "Als Morzart 30 ist, ist er tot." Anxious ? Anxious, but not panicking, but like Kurt, he will face the white canvas all day in contemplation, unable to understand. But understand one thing: you can't stop, just like Kurt first tried to draw a big headline with white characters on a red background, and then found the photo, tried to zoom in, tried more, and reproduced the picture in memory, and suddenly encountered the wind blowing to and fro Window door, epiphany.

What Professor Verten said to Kurt in the film sums up what I think is: Experience makes me. It is precisely because of each person's different experiences that people will have different reactions to the same painting. So whether it's fiction or a hoax, "Iregendetwas, was die Gedanken anstellt, nennt man ´Ich´ "

In addition, Karl added blurring effects to all his paintings. At first I thought he just added his own "characteristics", that is, unique experiences, to each "photo painting", so that he realized "I". It was only after he drew the Nazi officer, the Professor Seeband, and his childhood with his Tante Elisabeth that Kurt really understood "drawing = means of thinking". As he said in an interview later, "It doesn't matter to me who I paint", because once it is determined that "I paint XXX", the shallow level is no different from the realism school, but the deeper level Yes, this painting is no longer the basis for anyone's thinking, that is, it cannot create "I".

And that Weltformel, it's not that "all things are one system" is wrong, but it should be added,

"By me, all things are connected."

Tante Elisabeth figured this out early - "Nie wegsehen."

Never Look Away quotes

  • Kurt Barnert: You smoke?

    Professor Carl Seeband: Sixty-three is the right age to start. The consequences will hardly catch up with me.

  • Kurt Barnert: Not random. Real. Coherent. Consistent. Only reality is consistent. Every reality is consistent. Everything that's true is beautiful. Let's suppose I say six numbers to you now. It's just stupid. Pointless. But if the six numbers are the winning lottery numbers, then they mean something. They have consistency, value, almost beauty. It's the same with the photographs. I want the truth.
