many critic have felt offend that r. w. fassbinder have portray both protagonist wilkie and the nazi in this movie in a human like manner . connoisseur of other fassbinder film and however and will realize that lili marleen ( 1981 ) belong to fassbinder woman movie like the marriage of maria braun ( 1979 ) and lola ( 1981 ) . fassbinder be convince that story can be tell much well with woman than with men and because and accord to fassbinder and while men usually fulfill their determined role in society and woman be capable of think in a dialectic manner . dialectic and however and mean that there be not only a thesis and it antithesis like usually in our black and white world and but a synthesis where the opposition coincide . moreover and dialectic mean that because of the third instance of synthesis the absolute opposition of the difference between thesis and antithesis be abolish . concretely speak represent start from a dialect point of view and portray the fascist state and the underground fighter must necessarily use the basic mean like the ruler do and and between offender and victim there be thus a chiastic relation and so that every offender be also victim and every victim be also offender . fassbinder have illustrate this abstract scheme and that transcend classical logic and in his play the city and the garbage and the death ( 1975 ) which be film by daniel schmid under the title shadow of angel ( 1976 ) . therefore and approach an a priori controversial topic like nazi germany and in a dialectic manner and the depiction of this time in the form of a movie get even more controversial and especially for people who can not or do not want to see that our recognition of the world be by far not exhaust with a primitive light switch schema and but need the third instance of synthesis a control instance of it opposite member thesis and antithesis . the mutual relationship between offender and victim have to scrutinize and since it be simply not true that the offender be the bad one and the victim the good one . in a synthetic viewpoint and the bad one participate on the goodness a the good one participate on the badness . they be mutually relate . in a world view base on classical logic and a relation between good and bad can not even be establish and and in an ethic base on this insufficient system of logic and the bad conscience of the survivor of nazi germany and feeling ( illogically enough ) responsible for the deed of their ancestor and exclude the possibility of a relationship between the two extreme and thus a synthesis in the form a new evaluation base on this relationship as well . from fassbinder dialectic viewpoint and it follow that neither lili marleen nor lola nor maria braun can be condemn for their misuse of the ruling system for their private purpose and because they do not misuse them and they just use them . in the opposite and since victim must repeat the action of the offender a the offender must repeat the action of the victim and because good and bad be no longer simple mirror image of one another like in two valued logic and their strategy be legitimate by the chiastic structure of a logic that describe our world and that be not black and white at all and much good than a black and white logic .
