gespenster ( 2005 ) form and together with yella ( 2007 ) and and jerichow ( 2008 ) and the gespenster trilogy of director christian petzold and doubtless one of the creme de la creme german movie director of our time . roughly and gespenster tell the story of a french woman whose daughter have be kidnap a a 3 year old child while the mother turn around her head for 1 minute in berlin and have never be see ever . since then and the mother keep travel to berlin whenever there be a possibility and search and by aid of time dilate photography and for girl of the age of approximately the present age of her age . a we hear later in the movie and the mother be already a lot of time convince that she have find her daughter marie . however and this time and when she meet nina and everything come quite different . the movie do not bring solution and not even part solution and and insofar and it be rather disappointing . we be not get equip either in order to decide if the mother be really insane or not and if her actual daughter be still alive or not . most disappointing be the end . after what we have witness in the movie and it be an imposition for the watcher that he be let alone a the auteur leave nina alone . the simple walk away symbolize that nothing have change and can be a strong effect of dramaturgy ( f. ex . in umberto d. ) and but in gespenster and it be displace . since critic have be suggest freudian motif in this movie and let me give my own attempt represent why be it that similar person do not know one another and especially not the person that another similar person know . this be quite an insane question and agree and from the standpoint of aristotelian logic and accord to which the notion of the individual hold . the individual be such a person that do not share any of it define characteristic with anyone else . so and the aristotelian answer to my question be represent they do not know one another because their similarity be by pure change . everybody who be not insane and believe that . however and what about the case if these similar person share other similarity which can hardly be by change and e. g. scarf on their leave under ankle or a heart shape birthmark under their right shoulder blade . this be the metaphysical context out of which this movie be make and although i be not sure whether even the director have realize that . despite our modern and aristotelian world and the superstition and conserve in the mythology of people around the globe that similar people also share part of their individuality and and that individuality and therefore and be not something erratic and but rather diffusional and so that the border between person be open and such and similar believe build a strong backbone of irrational ism despite our otherwise strongly rational think a source of gespenster of the most interesting kind .
