    The increasingly religious Malik returns to the individual in "The Hidden Life", seeking to reveal the hearts of the characters and create gospel for the characters hidden by history. This is the same as his previous cosmic prehistoric works, because the key to religion is to classify the world into the realm of the mind. The theme of the film is a common theme theme in Germany, but Malik's entry point is not morality. Behind his protagonist's extreme pacifism is a kind of stubbornness that he...

    Unique photography, a bit of a pseudo-documentary feeling. The male protagonist gave a diametrically opposite performance to the sharp Gestapo in "Inglourious Basterds." See Bruno Ganz again, but unfortunately there are few shots. The film is light and soothing, but it feels heavier as the story progresses. Under the cruel Darwinian law of society, everyone can kneel before power for the things they cherish, which is not ashamed. But it's a sin to despise or isolate those "standing people" and...

    Pasolini's "Free Indirect Subjectivity": A Transcendence Beyond Subjectivity and Objectivity, Developed into a Pure Form with an Autonomous Perspective of Content. Therefore, people have the ability to perceive the camera, which becomes a kind of relationship between the camera and consciousness, and obtains the identity of indirect free subjectivity, that is, "poetic...

    It was the first time in 21 years that Malik filmed the theme of war again, which is completely opposite to the thin red line. It is better to say that the two films are like the front and back of a coin. The red line talks about the frontal battlefield like purgatory, and the secret completely hides the battlefield in words. There is no gunpowder smoke, no bloodshed, only one person's perseverance in the face of his beliefs, the language of the shots is even more beautiful, every shot makes me...

    A frightening and powerful movie, it seems that for a while, watching movies basically only falls on the word "watch", but this one really let me substitute the fate of the protagonist, yes, every " Persuasion is unquestionably justified, but how long can you keep your conscience? Half an hour? One hour? I reckon I've lost my armor in an hour, let alone a slogan to avoid the temptation of death. So, the movie is talking about what people live for, and we really don't do enough about...

    6.5/10. Like the blunt combination of countless fragments, there is a strange coherence of emotions. We just watched the happy family destroyed by the war and could do nothing. The faith it presents is purer than 1917. (the place where they live is so...

    I also think it can be regarded as a gospel movie; the topic of discussion is also in line with the current time (there are quite a few war movies this year, and they all talk about new angles), and Malik’s stream of consciousness montage has also been superb (at the beginning, only watching the couple reunion I would cry for a scene); it just feels like... the middle section is still too long, and the beautiful scenery has actually weakened the power of editing, and also, the subject is...

    Whispering, wide-angle, full-length letter narration, poetically beautiful. Abandon texts, compose poems only for lovers, rhymes only for faith. Eliot's poem at the end says it all: and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited...

    martyrs of truth

    The 1:2.35 anamorphic lens makes the living environment under the long-range lens relatively distorted. It seems that this era has changed life and society.

    Close-up shots of people, especially from an elevated angle, express an extreme emotion.

    The horizontal shot in the cell turned Franz's cell...

    Draw the real Christ (supplement)

    In my opinion, this is probably the most popular Malik work. Ma Daxian, who is usually high above the ground, is basically flying close to the ground this time. The vision of time and space was rarely retracted, and those heaven, earth, mysterious, and cosmic all collapsed into that small...

  • Mayor Kraus: This is what happens when a world dies. Men survive. But their life is gone. Their life is gone! Their reason for living.

  • Franz Jägerstätter: [interal monologue] Once you never forgave anyone... judged people without mercy. Now you see your own weakness... so you can understand the weakness of others.
