movie, the output is as vast as a sea of smoke, and the types are as bright as stars
Every week, let us pick a dazzling star from the movie universe for appreciation and enjoy the charm of the movie
This week, first come a German movie
2006 Released and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, "The Life of Others"
, also known as "Eavesdropping Storm"
, "Eavesdropping Storm" is a story shining with great humanity
. It shows us how a power machine is influenced by art, and gradually Waking up, getting richer, becoming a living, flesh and blood person
The historical background of the movie is the Cold War period after World War II. Germany was divided into East Germany and West Germany due to the different political formations of the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union. Germany is occupied by the Soviet Union and believes in communism. West Germany belongs to the United States, Britain and France. It is fair to engage in capitalism
half and one person, but the sad thing is that the German capital Berlin has also been divided into two parts
and both parts are still occupied by the Soviet Union. In order to prevent capitalist ideology from being imported, East Germany encircled West Berlin and restricted free access
. This is the famous Berlin Wall. From 1961 to 1989, West Berlin was an isolated land island
. A very dark period in German history
In order to avoid the resurgence of fascism, East Germany strictly monitored national thinking and tried to stifle the budding of capitalism in the cradle
. The monitoring work was called "Stasi "The East German secret police
In 1984, there are five years before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
100,000 secret police and 200,000 informants are still loyally defending their big brother
. They are the national iron rods. They will fight against any insult to the country. Colored remarks, just like preventing the plague, prevent the nationals
interrogating the good people
in an inhumane way, and they usually sit together, one person is guilty, and the whole family suffers
One of our heroes, Wesler, is a member of the secret police, he is calm , Serious, less talk
has a strong sensitivity to heretics
When he first appeared on the stage, he was an obedient machine that absolutely obeyed the upper class, and was the most dangerous type among the secret police
. His friend and the director of culture invited him to watch Stage play, and strongly praise the director of this stage play Redman
This play is a double male protagonist set
Our other male protagonist Redman enters Wisler’s sight for the first time
Wisler sees Rui Deman is like a wolf seeing its prey. He knows that this talented artist must be wrong
. This is not difficult to understand. How can a passionate artist be loyal to this tidy, lifeless society
so Wiesler asked him to be implemented. 24 hours All-round monitoring, as soon as he caught the handle, he cut him as a leek.
Wesler first squatted to observe Redman and his girlfriend’s outing time, and then took the team to his house quickly while they were not at
. The familiar attitude of Wisler full of bugs
shows that he is not the first time to do this kind of thing
When he found the neighbor on the other side was peeking, he decisively walked over to take the other side’s weakness, leaving him no room for resistance
On the one hand, it embodies the horror of Willers, on the other hand, it shows the helplessness of the people under the coercion. The eavesdropping place is arranged on the upper floor of Redman's house.
is all ready.
Redman’s private house becomes a big stage. Sitting across from the most loyal audience is Wesler,
. Under normal circumstances, Wesler only listens and writes what he hears as a report
. But occasionally, he can't help but intervene in
Redman’s best girlfriend and The minister got together, Wisler deliberately rang the doorbell
to let Redman see his girlfriend getting out of the minister’s car in disheveled clothes, trying to destroy their feelings
, but what surprised Wisler and the audience was that
Redman not only did not Condemning his girlfriend, instead he hugged her tightly and comforted her
Even if his girlfriend was forced to have a relationship with the minister, Redman's unreserved tolerance and understanding are still very unreserved.
Whistler originally thought that the couple would have a big fight, and blamed each other for
and finally tore it very ugly
. This result made him very surprised
He saw true selfless love in Redman, this thing touched Compared with his
, he can only spend money to buy comfort
love, which is rarer than gold
Although I said this is a dual male lead movie, in fact, the core character is still Weisler
and the main line. It is the psychological curve of Whistler sliding from darkness to light
The artist's pursuit of justice summons the truth, goodness and beauty in the heart of Whisler
. The most obvious turning point is the piano song
that Weisler heard Redman talked about. The first piece is called "Sonata for Good People"
The piano sounded, the camera and the strings swayed around Wesler
, which fully demonstrated that Wesler was in a state of being unable to extricate himself from music. This song made him tearful in his eyes
talk After that, Redman said with emotion: Is the person who really listens to this music attentively a bad person?
seems to be asking the eavesdropping Wesler: Are you a good person or a bad person?
Next, the director arranged a small plot to answer this question.
The neighbor’s child exposed in front of him the family’s bad views on the secret police.
Whistler wanted to throw them into jail, but moved a little bit of compassion. , Let go of the family
, the image on the image is also quite meaningful
the little boy and Whistler ride in the same elevator, the tall image of Whistler is in stark contrast to the little boy’s weakness
the elevator is narrow and closed Space gives the little boy nowhere to escape.
visually expresses that the boy is in a very dangerous situation. Whether it is safe or not depends on whether Wesler is willing to let him go.
The audience can't help but be nervous for the boy
Weiss Le makes an exception and does not pursue the case. The second half of the film is about Wisler's secret "protection" to Redman. Redman's close friend was forced to commit suicide. Redman was furious and decided to stand up against
and some others. Like-minded friends negotiated to publish an anonymous article criticizing the East German government in West Germany. The
plan was launched at Redman’s house. All the details were heard clearly by Wesler. Wesler installed the bug for this day. Caught tangible evidence
But this day finally came
Whistler became a loyal supporter of this conspiracy
He tampered with the report, covered up the plan, and did not allow anyone to intervene in his work
alone as Swiss Deman’s most robust protective wall
article was successfully published in West Germany and caused a huge sensation. The East German executives were furious and half-dead
Weissler’s boss could clearly feel who wrote it, and the name was on the lips
but Weiss Le’s denial left him with no evidence and unable to convict
. At this time, Redman’s girlfriend was arrested for taking drugs. This was because the minister deliberately destroyed her because she refused to provide him with x services
in order to preserve her reputation and For the future, she took the initiative to trade
with high-level officials and confessed that Redman was the author of the article.
was able to prove it was the typewriter used by Redman to write the article. It was hidden under the threshold
Wisler was sent to confront Redman. The girlfriend interrogated
under threats and lure. His girlfriend confessed to the
high-level staff and set off immediately to get people. At this time, Wisler disappeared. Betrayed Redman, was in a trance, went out and was knocked down by a car
Before she died, she murmured: I am too weak and will never be able to make up for my mistakes
She didn’t know that Wisler had taken the printer and replaced her. To make up for this fault
Redman’s girlfriend is an important role in the film
. She is not only the driving force that triggered the climax of the story, but her weakness is also a perfect foil to Whistler’s Powerful
She knows that she does not have the courage to resist the power. She chooses to stick to the powerful and linger. Every time she betrays Redman, she hides in the bathroom and takes a bath.I know that many people want to scold her, but I have to ask myself, and change to
to face my future and life. Can you wave your hand and say, no more?
his girlfriend died, and the high-level staff returned without success. This matter will not be over. However, this matter has not completely ended.
Weistler exposed his flaws and was demoted to the ground as a letter opener
. This is his work for the next 20 years. For a smart and talented person like him,
is really too awkward.
He didn’t say a word. After 4 years of silently bearing
, on November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell and Germany was about to usher in a new situation of unification.
Weissler was excited when he heard the news.
He walked out of the ground. He knew that the private opening of citizen letters was over. His work was over.
Two years later, Redman met in the theater who had already stepped down. The former minister
is wrong, the new forces come to power, the old forces are eliminated
The same script is also replaced by new people to play
Under the torrent of the times, they can only be carried forward
who wins and who loses is not what they can do Done the Lord’s
human struggle looks sad and insignificant in God’s eyes.
Redman had doubts about what happened in the past. He asked the minister why he didn’t send someone to monitor him
. The answer he got was: full monitoring of
is still in the memorial hall. Regarding the detailed report on the monitoring project, what happened to
, Redman couldn’t wait to look through the file
. He found that his plan to conspire with his friends had been altered into writing a stage play
about that article. Nothing was mentioned, there was nothing in the report that could threaten him.
Redman saw the line of the recorder. It was a codename—HGWXX/7
. This is his guardian angel
. Whistler has become a faction at this time. The believer, wandering at the bottom of the society
Redman found him, took a look, drove away from
until the end of the film, the two people did not officially meet
live separately, do not disturb each other
for another two years, Whistler passed a family In the bookstore, there is a large poster of Redman
on the window. It turned out that Redman published a best-selling book. The title is exactly the same as the piano piece—"Sonata for the Good People"
Wistler walked into the bookstore , Pick up one, turn over the cover
on the first page and write, a sonata dedicated to good people, the author, Geo Redman
and then on the next page, I would like to dedicate this book to HGWXX/7
Restrain your emotions and avoid sensational
But here, anyone who watches it will not be unmoved
Nearly 9 years after the incident, Whistler received the most sincere belated author’s Thanks to
two strangers who have never known each other because of the contribution of each other and get the sublimation of humanity
After watching the film, there is a great satisfaction
This is a story that celebrates great humanity, but the director’s expression is very restrained.
can use " "Quickly shifting a thousand catties, moisturizing things silently" to describe
to Whistler, a poem by Tagore is the most suitable to describe him, but
"Thank God, I am not the wheel of power, I am one of the living people under the wheel"
Although there is no such secret police
in real life, the filming method of the director makes us willing to believe that the humanity it tells does exist.
Weissler heard "Sonata for Good People" tears into our eyes
after watching this movie Are you crying like this? As the movie says, would you be a bad person like this? I believe that great humanity exists in everyone’s heart, and only waiting for a call to wake it up
