Section 83 Respect from the Audience
Watching the movie, Levy's focus is quite different from Jack's. Jack is looking at the actors' acting skills, while Levy is looking at his movie, which is different from the original.
In the original movie, the transformation of Wiesler was not clear enough, and the use of music and poetry collections allowed Wiesler to complete the transformation, which was too detached from reality, and the self-righteousness of some artists also made many people not understand, and even had the illusion that the protagonist betrayed for a woman. While Levy was shooting, he removed parts of the original poetry collection, which made Wiesler begin to doubt his mission, and in this way, to transform Wiesler.
What converts an idealist is naturally the disillusionment of his ideals.
Then, as the music played in Dleiman's hands, Wiesler became more and more excited as he listened. At this time, Christina said that she was going out to meet an old classmate, and Wiesler's mood had sunk to the bottom.
It's not because of concern for others, it's because of questioning yourself.
The change in this character is because he began to doubt his work and began to doubt his ideals.
The key point in this movie is the transformation of three people, and how to make three people change is an important job.
With the death of director Jesca, Dréman also began his transformation, and at the same time, when they were tempted, Wiesler also let them go - the biggest turning point in the whole film: from this point on, both changed.
In the original version, only Wiesler's actors really stood out, and in this version, the three actors also showed the changes in their lives.
Deleman, who silently endures oppression and explodes because of the death of the director he worked with; Christina, who has always been with the minister and has succumbed to her own cause; From the conviction that he was right to the wavering Wiesler because of the minister's actions, the changes in the three people have been highlighted. Levy cut out the part of the poem, and did not let the children scold Wiesler again.
The authenticity of a movie is often one of the important criteria for judging the quality of a movie. The art written by the screenwriters affects life, and even children scold the spies, although it is very romantic, but after all, there are too many detachments from reality.
Levy's approach was still very successful, followed by Christina's transformation.
At this moment, Levy's hand was pinched, Levi turned his head, and he saw Theron smirking at him: this was the biggest gain of her performance in this play, and now it has also had an effect: when she saw Christina turn her head and go home, the theater suddenly erupted in the largest laughter.
Happiness is hard to come by and is worth cherishing.
Immediately after her transformation, it was Wiesler who got the evidence, but when the director triumphantly advertised his destruction of the artist, he backed down.
Once handed out, it is to completely ruin a person, and even ruin his happy life. And the reason for ruining a person's life is just because of his own career, or the minister's **? Wiesler couldn't compromise.
Therefore, he changed.
This institution, which was born for the sake of national security and the protection of the people, is now being used in the wrong place, and the idea of Wiesler becoming the sword and shield of the state no longer exists, and his work is no longer insisted on.
Wiesler's approach caused whispers and a slight sigh to resound in the theater. People have seen the changes in Wiesler from the beginning of the movie to the present, some people understand his approach and some people don't understand, but people definitely support his approach - the happiness of Deleman and Christina is hard-won, Christina's struggle and reflection, Deleman's forbearance and outburst, let people understand the hard-won love of this love.
Immediately, ** arrived--Dryman's article was detected, Christina was arrested, and the director asked Whistler to interrogate Kristina, which also made people's hearts hang again - Christina knew Whistler.
Then, during the interrogation, Whistler kept hinting that Christina confessed.
"I still don't know, did Christina recognize Wiesler?" Theron asked in a whisper as he stood beside Levy.
"Understand for yourself." Levi smiled: This place is a place where people can have different understandings: people can have all kinds of ideas, and it all depends on people
"Well, I'm sure she recognized it." Theron thought for a moment before saying.
The film enters the **, the second search, and goes straight to the place where Dleiman buried the typewriter. Delemán's incredulity, Christina's shame, the director's ecstasy, changed the moment the floor opened—it was empty, nothing.
This huge surprise made the audience in the theater unable to suppress their emotions anymore. Some even whispered in surprise, and their surprise immediately grew louder - Christina, who had rushed out of the door, was hit by a car.
The men who made the major transformation survived, but the innocent women died, and this result is inevitably a bit of black humor.
The whispers of Wiesler, who rushed up, did not change the grief: people had thought of this possibility for a long time, but it was only confirmed. Even the immediate director's irritation and Wiesler's experience did not change the audience's mood - dead people are always sad.
As soon as the camera turned, it was already five years later. The reunification of the two Germanys, the dissolution of the Stasi, fate made people, and Wiesler also changed from an inspector who opened letters to a postman who delivered letters. And Deleman has a new girlfriend, meets the minister while watching the play, and after a few words, he learns that he has been watched, and then he begins to explore how he was watched in the past.
One by one, the documents were flipped through, and Dreman was surprised to find that his file had been completely changed. And when he turned to the last page and saw the red handprint on it, he understood something.
It was this monitor who took his typewriter, it was this person who saved his life.
"I want to know, who is HGW-XX7." Dleiman strode over and consulted, and right away, he got the answer he wanted. As soon as the camera turned, when Wiesler was walking through the streets to deliver newspapers, Dreman followed behind in a car, and he looked at Wiesler's back from a distance and did not walk over.
Two years later, Whistler walked past the bookstore. The bookstore's advertisement is an advertisement for Deleman's new book. Whistler walked into the bookstore, picked up a new book, and opened it with the words 'To HGW-XX7, with the highest respect.' ’
Seeing this, Wiesler's eyes warmed, and he picked up the book and brought it to the counter. When the salesperson asked him if he wanted to wrap it up, Wiesler looked up proudly, "No, it's for me." ”
In Lyman's work, he once again sees the justice he seeks in his life.
This is the end of the movie. The final subtitles are still playing on the screen, but the lights in the cinema are already on. Jack was the first to stand up: the movie is over, and at this time, it's time to get out of the show.
But when he stood up, he found that only a few people in the movie theater stood up and walked outside, while many more people remained in the movie theater, waiting for the end of the subtitles without saying a word.
"What's wrong with them?" Jack asked back with some confusion.
"I think they want to see the information about this movie." Michael said behind him, in a tone of disbelief.
What better tribute to a profound film than silence?
The opening credits of the film, without any information. In order to ensure that the movie is more moving, Levy puts all the introductions at the end of the movie. Now that the movie has been played, all the names are on the screen.

Names appear on the screen, whether it is the participants of this movie, or the film director, most of them are newcomers, they have not had much work and experience before, this is their first work.
But this work has completely moved the audience. The audience all stayed here to watch these because the film had conquered them, and they were all anxious to know which director produced this work.
What makes an art film different from a popcorn movie is how the movie is evaluated. A big commercial production may be loved by everyone, but it is difficult to get unanimous praise from people. And an art film may not get a lot of people's attention, but after watching it, the audience has praise and respect for the movie, which is the most important thing.
This film has clearly done it - and the respect that audiences have for this film is already obvious.
"Nick, this time, your movie was a success." Behind Levy, Bob slapped Levy, "Everybody loves it, this movie is an absolute classic like no other!" ”

PS: Some people have reported that the introduction plot is too long, and it has been shortened a little here. I wrote this to say something about my own feelings about the movie, and since the reader doesn't like it, I'll shorten it later. Thank you all for your comments, thank you very much.
