Girl, why do you have to do this death?

I often encounter such works. One side is highly praised by a group of people. People will use words such as tears and unspeakable words to describe it, while on the other side, they feel that they do not understand the absurd logic of the character's behavior. Silence and disgust, characterize it as illogical pretense, even incomprehensible, where is this wonderful? After reading it, why are you feeling sad again?
I think this polar difference in perception depends on whether the audience is substituting the character’s feelings and whether they can identify with her reactions and emotions. If this connection is established, then this kind of movie-watching experience is excellent. On the contrary, the protagonist His behavior is absurd and unreasonable. This kind of unreasonable metaphor can be summarized in one sentence: "Why is a good girl going to die?" You can get away at any time, and you obviously have nothing to do with yourself. Why do you have to keep yourself involved? Are these strangers jumping into the fire pit?

So why is this? In my opinion, all Victoria’s recklessness and death can be linked to the piece she played for Sonne. That piece composed by Liszt depicts Mephistopheles dancing at a country ball. In a scene, in order to show the beauty of worldliness and desire to Faust, the devil danced and reveled in front of him. When Victoria played this piece, she was ups and downs provocatively, and then suddenly entered a climax. It stopped abruptly before the boil, and this performance happened to be like her experience all night. People say that Mephistopheles is a demon that symbolizes desire and passion. It is a collection of secularity, lust and passion, while Victoria said that she likes this demon. I think what she actually likes is the passion that this devil symbolizes.

She said, "The only time I can remember as a child is to practice piano repeatedly like an old lady, day after day and year after day." People of that age could have no worries and troubles afterwards, that is This kind of high-intensity practice for more than ten years, such as seven hours a day, deprived her of all the fun she should have in her teenage years. After sixteen years of giving, she was then dissuaded from it, making the entire effort of youth fail. Meaningless.
She also said that there is a lack of true friendship in her life. In the life of the academy, all her so-called friends are actually rivals with invisible barriers. Everyone is vying to become a musician in the cruel trial of becoming a musician. A chance for a few lucky people, and in the three months that she came to Berlin to find a "new life", what else did she get besides a so-so job? I think what she longs for is not the day when she rushes to the coffee shop to work at 7 o'clock every day, not the high-frequency flash of the bar at the beginning of the movie, and the lonely sway of a person, but the encounter with a group of destined people, chatting and laughing with her She rioted wildly, and then made all the attempts to break the shackles of the past.

Victoria’s almost blank life experience except the piano is doomed to her curiosity and fantasies about strangers and strange things, so when Sonne and his obviously less serious brothers came up to strike up a conversation, she did not refuse. Her original reason may be It was because of politeness and curiosity. In her initial plan, she might just chat with him for a while, or walk with them for a while, and then they would go away, and then she would return to the coffee shop to return to her boring life and continue her daily life. Day after day. The following small unsightly moves were staged one after another, but they did not affect Victoria’s rapidly warming friendship with this group. She had no prejudice because she could see the good side of these seemingly wrongdoers, and it was because she yearned for sonne. With his brothers, he can do whatever he wants to do without restraint and scruples. Victoria likes Mephistopheles, a symbol of desire, and yearns for the passion that throbs like a campfire, and sonne is like his name, like this night The sparks that accidentally drifted into her life were destined to ignite her boring destiny. That song is like Victoria’s passion that was suppressed all year round before seeing the sun. When she came to the ballroom twice, she could obviously feel completely different emotions. At first, she came to entertain, like a tasteless life. People want entertainment, the latter is carnival, kisses, and unscrupulous catharsis, just as intense as the tune is played, and after the short and burning indulgence, it is destined to be the same as the scene described by that tune, Mei Pfister turned into a phantom and disappeared at the ball, leaving only a silent morning.

Sonne and his friends, these idlers can't even get out a few coins. They wandered all day without work. They only have nicknames between them. I don't know if they are friends and dog friends who grew up with their playmates, or they depended on each other since childhood. Feeding each other's orphans by stealing, but what is certain is that their family-like tacit understanding and affection are what Victoria would never feel in that kind of cold college competition, and it really moved her.

"Now you know us, from now on you can be taken care of by us" Sonne joked on the way to the convenience store.
In Victoria's eyes, this kind of care should be mutual. If they are really in trouble, how can she pull hands? In the three months since she came to Berlin, who could warm her more than a few nameless bastards in this absurd night? When she took this task so easily, perhaps it was to thank them for bringing such an unusual night to her, but she didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse. The subsequent request of her resolute walk was due to her responsibility to her friends. She knew After experiencing the boxer’s guilt, he looked very pitiful, and at the same time saw his irritable and out of control side. They were completely acting on the spot with only rehearsal and unprepared. Under panic, they had a panic attack and fell to the ground. The boxer was emotionally out of control and everything was messy A group, if you pull away at this time, it is almost equivalent to seeing a few of them go to death, and even when the eyebrows are burning like this, Sonne is giving priority to protecting her, insisting on sending her back to the coffee shop to let her get out safely. Victoria's courage and life-threatening character in the film made her jump to the fire cave that had nothing to do with her.

That's it. In just two hours of this absurd night, this girl saw friendship, love, passion, made a group of friends, talked about a lightning-fast love, robbed a bank and got a bullet, and experienced A parting life and death, ecstasy, ecstasy, madness, madness, sorrow, and ecstasy, it’s like concentrating all the sorrows and joys of a person’s life in one day. This night her life is like a tornado, with chaos, conflict and vigorous love, straight up. The ups and downs were as violent as the song she played, and then it fell silent in the morning, like the devil had made a joke to her.

    Street gangsters can be described as pure flavor; the object of love at first sight is almost bald, very German; 140 minutes in a mirror is very awesome; strangers are also familiar tones in cities where they do not understand the language; the dialogue of music life is very poking in building characters Heart, although the connection with the plot is a bit 250. but! Who is more stupid than a thief and a policeman? An hour ago, I felt like I was watching the opening dialogue between European and American AV amateurs.

    I haven't finished it yet, and I can't finish it. After watching this girl for more than an hour, I don't want to know her final ending, whether it's a happy ending or a complete death. I don't want to know anymore.

Victoria quotes

  • Victoria: I've been... I've been... I don't know the name, how you say that... I've been... in the conservatory, you know... I was in the conservatory. and I cannot continue in the conservatory because I'm not good enough, or something like that

    Sonne: Because they're stupid, or what?

    Victoria: No, it's okay. I prefer that.

    Sonne: No, really... Because it's amazing. It's like. You know, I...

    Victoria: No, it's not amazing... I don't know. I've been sixteen and a half years practicing playing the piano. every day, like seven hours every day. Seven is the maximum. You cannot play more, because you're gonna hurt your arms. And it's a really hard life, because you have no... you have no life. You have no friends. Well, the friends are like the other guys that are in the conservatory... but they are not your friends really. They're like your enemies. Because they are fighting for your dream too.

    Sonne: But was it your dream... to play?

    Victoria: Not any more.No. Because it's... You are... You... You can became a bad... I don't know. I was just thinking, for my friends, they should fail in their exams... because then I would have, like, more opportunities for me! Our teacher said to us that. just the 90% of us, we are wasting our time. It's really difficult to become a real piano player. And it's better like this. You know, when I was 12, I can remember, I was like an old lady... just playing always the fucking piano.

  • Sonne: What is this shit? What is this shit? Boxer, what is this shit, man?
