If it is difficult to say that a love movie with eroticism as the keynote is difficult to arouse a fair and honest praise from critics, it is like everyone enjoying the love of fish and water, but at the same time, they hope to see a fairy tale that ends abruptly with a kiss on others. Under the premise of "correctness, justice, and legitimacy" as tinted glasses, they are eager to lash out at anything that is presented in the field of vision but beyond cognition.
"Midnight Gatekeeper" tries to tell the love story of a pair of men and women whose fate is bound by their identity, but it is hard to resist the huge organization and prejudice with personal strength and good wishes. On the pure and proud resonance. A Nazi officer reunites with his favorite sex slave, in which the fire tree silver flower could burn the viewer's hormones without any scruples, but the director omits most of the steps of blush and heartbeat, with caress, kisses, symbolic, ritualized singing and dancing, Replaced by a half-naked body, his freewheeling attitude is like the unrequited love between two men and women, which has to be envied.
Combining Nazis, sadomasochism, politics, homosexuality, and individualism, several elements that are not all criticized are brought together, but in the end it turns into a very tragic and tender love story that does not go too far. Humanization has become a love story. It's the best label. Although the story takes place in Vienna, its icy, gloomy, hazy images are more reminiscent of London's cold tones. The subtle and ambiguous past between the officer and the slave girl unfolds slowly in this repressed atmosphere, easily capturing the audience's approval. Certain eras and identities are the pig's trotters that the whole world imposes on ordinary people. The more they struggle, the more controlling organizations are given a zeal to suppress and bind them. It seems that everyone is constantly being smuggled by the world. Some people enjoy it, some people resist, that's all.
In the end, the lovers died because of starvation. In the dawn, they were greeted with a hail of bullets, and they died on suspicion of escaping and compromising. Although such a death method has a tragic beauty, it is really unexpected. In general, the romanticism in movies always has a heroic color. The two would starve to death instead of yielding; the two would help each other to death after having intense lovemaking; at least one or two (such as a ballerina) would be swayed to the system and rule. Sending out the most powerful cry... but they just compromised in their instinctual physiological needs, walked to the street with integrity, and waited peacefully to die. This turned the obscenity that should belong to the public into a war between two ordinary men and women.
It's so dangerous to be alone, it's hard to live out one's self, it's hard to climb Mount Hua...
