    "Andrei Rublev" belongs to the new era; there are no illusory heroes in the world, some are just ordinary people who sacrificed for their beliefs. Ma Daxian has broken through himself in a sense; the only pity is that this For other directors, the minimalist text is still too real for Malik's author system. The fluidity of poetry and philosophical thinking has been impacted many times by the plot; of course, I still can't help crying at the end....

    The ultimate in transcendental images, spiritual baptism & the voice of faith. 1. When one must choose between personal life (+ family) and the moral truth in the heart, how to choose? Always pay tribute to those who kept their faith secretly and died secretly. 2. Malick's wide-angle shots, emotional editing, murmured narration (self-remembering), spiritual soundtrack so neatly integrated into the story, and well-designed and unmarked separation of sound and picture, sound bridges, and rich...

    The rhythm is really too slow, and it still feels quite PPT. The scenery, the soundtrack and the plot don't quite match. Since the actors are basically German and Austrian, why do they use English for the dialogue? Is it because the director is...

    It is very clear in the film that the competent authorities at all levels actually gave him a way back: refusal to serve in military service for religious reasons can be sent to non-combat units, but objection to military service for conscientious reasons is absolutely not...

    It is more difficult to stay awake in the world of lunatics than to maintain faith. The idyllic quietness of the mountain village life, the frenetic commotion of the people around the outside world, mirror each other, the emotions of the camera image and the emotions of the characters and the environment are close to one, and everyone is drunk and I am awake alone. Feeling it, Terrence Malick's skill has not...

    The unsung hero who silently rebelled against the fascist world (see the short comment Europa said, "He is not a hero, just an ordinary person who will tremble when the countdown to the death penalty is counted"). Those wide-angle Stanley Kang follow-up shots are like a gust of wind blowing through everything, like God's indifferent care, it is everywhere, and it passes by. Under the multiple pressures of religious belief, state machinery, and interpersonal environment, it is possible to stick...

    【B】A film belonging to the current special period. Under the compassionate and solemn wide-angle lens, the viewer's anger is infinitely elongated and extends into the surging movement. And these movements are all fragmented. In staring, the objectivity is torn apart and falls into a world without reason and morality. But the point of view is always so arrogant and free between the landscape, the rubber band that touches the perception outside the characters is constantly being pulled, and...

    "Ask, and it will be given to you...Knock, and the door will be opened to you." This passage of the Bible in Hidden Life is so beautiful, Terrence Malik is constantly expanding the beauty of the movie, constantly resisting, Fighting against the mess of life, a humble and elegant person rare among contemporary filmmakers, picks up everything in nature and resists human forgetting. I can't help but ask myself again: Do you dare to be at any time, no matter what kind of danger you face, no matter...

    This religious maniac who uses golden hour images to evangelize. On the basis of this belief, Alpine villagers were inexplicably valued by the Nazis, and the main characters and letters were written in...

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.
