As early as last year's Cannes International Film Festival, I began to pay attention to the film "Out of Thin Air", and I only recently had the opportunity to find a chance to watch it, and I have been waiting for nearly a year.
Although "Out of Thin Air" did not win the Palme d'Or Best Picture Award, the beautiful and moving actress Diane Kruger was named queen, which is also a high affirmation of this film.
Diane Kruger was named a cannes film, and she deserved it.
She perfectly played a role with a complex heart, was hit during the trial, was destroyed inside, tried her best to restrain her angry emotions, and exuded sadness, and played it quite well.
At this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony, "Out of Thin Air" beat four high-quality films, "Ordinary Woman", "They Killed My Father First", "No Love to Complain About", and "Square", and won the Best Foreign Language Film Award.
"Out of Thin Air" is directed by the famous director Fatih Akin, and his representative works include "Go Forward", "Cheek", "Solino", "In July" and so on, which are all highly acclaimed masterpieces.
Fatih Akin grew up in Hamburg, Germany, and is a descendant of Turkish immigrants, and "Out of Thin Air" is a film about immigrants, about German thought, in which the heroine Katya's husband is an immigrant from Turkey.
The film is divided into three chapters, the first is the family: the story is tragic, emotionally sadistic; the second chapter is justice: the contest between good and evil, the dramatic conflict is strong; the third chapter is the ocean: countering violence with violence, deep and thick.
The plot at the beginning was quite sadistic. Katya originally had a happy family, her husband had been in prison for drug trafficking, and after he came out, he started a serious business, with a good income, and they also had a sensible and lovely son.
However, due to a sudden explosion, Katya lost her husband and son and fell into grief. Losing her beloved man and her lovely son, Katya once used drugs to anesthetize herself, and even wanted to kill herself at one point.
The police launched an investigation based on clues, locked the suspect, and surprisingly, the suspect had nothing to do with their family, they were Nazi fanatics.
The most exciting plot of the movie "Out of Thin Air" is the second chapter, and the trial scene lasts more than 30 minutes.
The plaintiff and the defense clashed in court, and the multiple rounds of fierce debate, the plot was full of tension, pushing the emotion to a climax, so that it could be seen explode.
Between 2000 and 2007, in Germany, a group called the Underground State Society killed nine citizens from immigrant backgrounds and carried out a series of bombing attacks, the sole motivation behind which the victims had no orthodox German blood, and "Out of Thin Air" told the story in this context.
The two murderers are a couple, both of whom greatly admire Adolf Hitler, but have distorted ideas under the seemingly normal image, are passionate about violence, and are representatives of the Nazi forces in the film.
In addition to them, there are lawyers who defend them and "witnesses" who help them give false testimony, and these characters reveal a paranoid, crazy personality from the inside out, which is a typical image of a Nazi officer.
Based on such a character setting, the atmosphere of the trial scene in the film is tense, the two factions clash, the plot is ups and downs, sometimes people are indignant, and sometimes they are burning faces.
Although the second chapter is called justice, it does not have justice, and the judicial system is only a decoration after all, and finally it can be countered by violence.
At the end of the story, there is not much exciting plot, more of a choice and reflection. Katya chose the same way of revenge, tit-for-tat, ending in regret, and it was this emotion that formed a stronger indictment.
At this time, Katya has returned from anger to calm, a metaphor is that menstruation has begun to be normal, and whenever she thinks of the picture with her family, she will smile, but her original happy and happy life has been shattered by a residual trend of thought.
On the whole, "Out of Thin Air" is an excellent movie, whether it is emotional tension, or story connotation, or practical significance, this movie has a good performance and is worth tasting carefully.
