Love choices under the Berlin Wall

"Barbara" is about an East German woman under the Berlin Wall. The choice of love, in a severe political environment, everything seems so precious, or friendship, or family, or love. There are many German films about the Berlin Wall, whether they focus on political criticism or describe the living environment of ordinary people, their common feature is to return to human nature, making the human nature that has suffered from repression more gorgeous and beautiful; Politics aside, perhaps for women, only love is worth the constant struggle, not just because of freedom.

    Film version. I have always been unable to resist such a precise and mysterious soulful work, the slow infiltration of the Cold War background adds a bit of danger, and the final day for night scene is wonderful.

    It’s best not to be spoiled before watching this movie, otherwise the fun will be greatly reduced. Its narrative is deeply hidden, relying on various details that are not easily explained, keeping the audience in the dark, and finally the truth is revealed. Although looking back at all the stories are actually quite plain, but the romance is enough to make up for the shortcomings. I like this kind of grim story, and even more charming is the kindness and compassion in the bones of the movie, which is the most lacking of the director of the celestial dynasty! ★★★★
