The good part lies in the color palette and use of colors in the film. The warm colors in the house and the bomb shelter form a strong contrast with the cool colors on the street, alluding to the cruelty of war and the warmth of humanity in the larger environment, and three or four times. For the panoramic depiction of Paradise Street, the environment in cool tones contrasts with the red of the Nazi flag, setting the tone.
There are also very good lines. For example, Max inspired the heroine to describe the weather in her own words, and some words said by the adoptive father, all of which reflect the charm of words and language.
There was a bombing in the middle, and only Max was alone on the street. The plot and lines were just right. It could have set off a small climax. Maybe the tour guide arranged a car out of a metaphor for the German Nazi harm to the Jews. Max was scared to hide. Personally, I think it would be better without this car. Using a long lens to shoot from the max to the stars in the sky can be closer to the theme of freedom of thought in this film.
The lack of the movie lies in the plot. Many plots have not been developed and explored. For example, the interaction and intersection between the heroine and the wife remain on the superficial surface. Originally, it was a good plot insertion point when the wife began to recall her son. Interrupted by the hostess. There is also the interaction with max. There is no good common bond of inserting books in the plot, so it seems that the motive of the heroine to steal the book is a bit unsustainable.
It is also a pity that the music does not have a good ups and downs with the development of the plot. The soundtrack of the whole movie is very dull. Fortunately, the final bombing scene did not use redundant soundtracks, but instead used silent and bombing sounds. The finishing touch.
