The life of the characters in Rene Rivenstar's works

One day in June that year, Lenny was waiting for the bus at Lehndorff Square subway station, ready to see a doctor. This subway station became a turning point in her life. A poster on the billboard caught her attention. This is the "Mountain of Destiny" directed by Dr Arnold Ke Fan. The steep stone walls and climbers fascinated her. So, she gave up the idea of seeing a doctor and went to the Mozart Cinema opposite the square to see a movie. This movie made her determined to go to the mountains to experience the beautiful and mysterious mountain scenery in the movie, so she lived in the Alps for a while. After I came back, I got to know the director Ke Fan with the help of my friends. He wrote the play Holy Mountain for her, with her as the heroine. The filming of this film met with various accidents. When Ke Fan was suddenly recalled to Berlin to report his work, Riefenstahl tried to take over his work. This is her first time to be involved in directing. The shot she shot was affirmed by the film company and the film was successfully completed. Later, Lenny became the most popular silent actress in Germany because of several consecutive Arnold Fanck films, and was sought after by many German fans.

But she is not content to be a star. 1932, she directed and starred in the first feature film "Das Blaulelicht". From then on, she gave up acting and began to work as a director. 1956, Rivenstar began her trip to Africa, where she not only "reborn", but also began to shoot a semi-fictional documentary called slave ship to express her indignation at the modern slave trade. But because of money, war, car accident, weather and other reasons, the film has not been released.

Since 1962, Li Finstad has visited the primitive tribes in the Nuba Mountains for investigation and filming. Although she was not the first person to film them, she was the first outsider accepted by the dark-skinned Nuba people, and she was allowed to film the sacred ceremony of the Nuba people. From 1965, attracted by the elegant metal posture and aesthetic lifestyle of the Nuba people, 62-year-old Li Finstad began to shoot a color documentary about the Nuba people to record this primitive civilization that was on the verge of collapse. At the same time, Rifenstar published and exhibited some photos of primitive tribes in East Africa and Nuba, such as Nuba and Kau Nuba, which made her once again the focus of the world. Rifenstar said that she only shoots good-looking people and good-looking things, not because she personally doesn't like sick people, but because shooting good-looking people can bring pleasure to the audience. 1973,71year-old Riefenstahl lied that he was only 5 1 year-old and took part in underwater diving training. She wants to realize one of her old dreams: filming the underwater world. Soon, she really became an excellent underwater photographer and published two illustrated works, Coral Garden and Underwater Wonders.

Since then, Rifenstar has traveled to the most beautiful diving area many times to shoot her underwater documentary. Until he was 94 years old, Rivenstar still wore a diving mirror and went to the waters near Corcos Islands in Cocoa Island to photograph sharks.

In 2000, Riefenstahl made a film Impressionen unter Wasser, which introduced marine animals and plants with very beautiful pictures. Director Zhang spent 45 minutes recording the underwater scenes she shot while diving in the Indian Ocean from 65438 to 0974 -2000. In these 26 years, Li Finstad dived more than 2,000 times and made a lot of films, which are the essence of editing and production. At the age of 97, Ri Finstad decided to go to Sudan again to visit and help the Nuba people who were isolated by the war. Rivesta hasn't seen her Nuba friend for 23 years. For this trip, she held many consultations with the Sudanese government and even got in touch with the rebel leaders.

In February 2000, Rifenstar led a small photographic team to Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, where, after a long wait and difficult negotiations, the authorities finally agreed to let them go to the Nuba Mountains. Thousands of Nuba people are eagerly looking forward to her arrival. There, she found that many close friends were victims of the civil war. Just as Rifenstar was preparing to continue to record the living Nuba friends, a new war broke out and she had to leave the Nuba Mountain area by helicopter with the camera team immediately. Another disaster befell them, and the helicopter crashed. Fortunately, no one died. A rescue plane transported Riffenstahl to a German hospital, where Riffenstahl, nearly 100 years old, was found with multiple rib fractures and lung injuries. Despite this terrible event, the energetic old man didn't give up his plan to go to Sudan again. 1992, rifenstar wrote a memoir "filtering time", which was published at her100th birthday reception on August 22nd, 2002, and died one year later.
