    Architecture is a functional assumption that turns people's expectations into something within reach. Love is an instant lie, turning the gaze of the other person into an ethereal wreckage. Once expectations are broken, time and space will naturally endow the building with the latest meaning. Once the gaze is disturbed, the breath and heartbeat will naturally reveal the truest mystery of love. Unexpectedly, a love myth and legend that should be full of mystery would be so empty and weak. If love can be reduced to two floating hands and some scattered stares, then pallor is the best explanation for it. As an author's film that advocates perception, Petzold successfully numbs the audience's perception. Except for the frightening glimpse in the middle of the film, there is only a light classical piano and heavy breathing, and nothing else. Imagine if the director changed the location of the scene to Huaguo Mountain, the girl guide fell in love with the reincarnation of the Monkey King, rich and delicate explanation of human geography and customs, plus a Monkey King figure, this "Monkey King of Love" will get such a result. high rating? Not all poetry is worthy of praise, especially when it is a love poem, when there is no feeling of love.

    3.5. A dark urban fairy tale, the love and betrayal of the modern world on the water, and the vaguely visible historical relics underwater. Berliners have come to this day and have rebuilt a new city on the ruins of history, but they cannot reconcile with the past at all. History is The tangled water plants, getting darker and less clear, are entangled in their bodies and love, just like the meaning brought to them by this city, you can tell the history of every existing building in it, but it is still Its concrete beginnings cannot be traced back. For most directors, it is nothing more than piling up their talents, and the more they pile up, the better. But for the talented Petzold, it is the opposite. He needs to let go, he needs to take away his talents and let him He is not so neat, and only when he indulges himself can he have a little pure sincerity.
