    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...

    To express the sacrifice of small people in the grand form of emperors and generals seems to be saying that the great souls endure in the corner of the...

A Hidden Life quotes

  • Ohlendorf - The Painter: What we do, is just create... sympathy. We create-- We create admirers. We don't create followers. Christ's life is a demand. You don't want to be reminded of it. So we don't have to see what happens to the truth. A darker time is coming... when men will be more clever. They won't fight the truth, they'll just ignore it. I paint their comfortable Christ, with a halo over his head. How can I show what I haven't lived? Someday I might have the courage to venture, not yet. Someday I'll... I'll paint the true Christ.

  • Fr. Fürthauer: Does a man have the right to let himself be put to death for the truth? Could it possibly please God? He wants us to have peace, happiness. Not to bring suffering on ourselves.
