Herbert Vesely was one of the promises for a new German cinema already in the 50's, but after the 60's his star was already dimmed. He made a small number of films in the 70's and 80's, all non too good. This biography of Egon Schiele, one of the most important Austrian artists, is an example of the pretensions and emptiness of a Vesely-film of later date. The life of Schiele is presented here as a puzzle| well, Vesely thinks that Schiele's life was a puzzle: the core of the story is centered around the famous 1912 pornography trial and using this as base the film shows fragments of past and future. The problem is that it never becomes a unity and that the order of scenes and sequences seems to be at random: a cut-and-paste job that could have had any other result. Indeed, after seeing it twice I am almost convinced of it that a unsatisfactory linear thought-out film was changed into the puzzle in the editing room. Egon Schiele was an enigmatic man, but not a total puzzle, and this film does not bring him any closer. The films also fails in conveying the eroticism and meaning of the Schiele's paintings: the camera watches and glides over the models without any understanding of Schiele's intentions, we only see beautiful naked bodies. If interested in Schiele, you better buy a book with his works in stead.。1927年4月，琼崖国民党反动派发动了“四二二”反革命政变，大肆屠杀共产党人。椰子寨战斗中，临危受命的杨善集等人牺牲。王文明率剩余力量转进母瑞山。不久，特委因叛徒出卖而被破坏，主要领导人牺牲，一时琼崖革命群龙无首。冯白驹上山寻找王文明，并主持临时特委工作，相继成立了独立师和女子军特务连。敌军进剿使琼崖武装几乎损失殆尽。冯白驹率残部再上母瑞山，重开星火燎原，完成了“云龙改编”，并打响抗日第一枪，随后建立了五指山等根据地，为后来解放海南岛，做出了巨大贡献。。一位著名气象学专家在未能预测到灾难性冰雹后逃回了他的家乡，随后，他很快地发现自己踏上了一场自我发现之旅。。
