Ashes and Diamonds Comments

The characters are hesitant all the time, and all the troubles caused by hesitation can defeat the theme of the story. Photography saves the play, the upside-down icon in the ruins, the fireworks that burn out with life, the numb expression of the girl on the dance floor and the first ray of morning light. The disillusionment started by the war gradually forgets its origin and reason, and Vajda once again gathers emotions into an almost stereotyped universal...

Four and a half stars. What to do after "victory"? Great question. Those indoor depth-of-field shots are really beautiful, and many of the shots are amazingly conceived, such as the wine glasses lit on the bar, the Jesus hanging down, the fallen corpse and the sky full of fireworks, the blood stains on the white sheets, the dazzling eyes. The Polish flag unfurled alone in the sun, and so...

"Ashes and Diamonds" follows the same three-dimensional script to a large extent, and the historical time nodes that are very important to the entire film inevitably become the weakened background, but at the same time the film gains complexity in the compact plot and depth. There is a wonderful contradictory relationship between the killer and the killed. The son wants to kill the father, but the son represents the past, and the father's ideology is the future. In this transitional era when...

The trilogy is the worst. Although there are many scenes with impressive shot scheduling and composition, they are too crafty. This kind of effort wants to criticize and reflect, covering more issues, and finally gradually becoming bloated and confusing, and it is not as ironic and interesting as the first novel's secretly entrained private goods in the propositional...

About moral choices and failures in the most extreme situations. Consistent style, the use of symbols is simple and easy to understand. Characters and character relationships are typically anxious and thematically deepened conversations. Zero Hour captures so well! Like "Tunnel", "A Generation", and "Post-War Land", Wajda's best work is still filming World War II and post-war Polish politics. After that, Solidarity and Katyn are really inferior to each other in...

A swirl of politics and emotion. Assassin Psychology. Photography is...

What I can't stand is that some idiots will only talk to the white horse with the statue of Jesus upside down after the...

The final chapter of the World War II trilogy, also ranked third in liking. Unlike the previous two, this one tells a post-war story. These factional rifts take place in Poland, but also in other corners of other countries, at other times in other years. The wounds and distortions of horrific warfare do not end easily with the victory or defeat on the battlefield. The war ended, but the fighting did not stop. After the flood, the waves were still...

The thought behind the calm and quiet shot is the weight of history. But then again, even diamonds will eventually turn to...

Then, you are like a burning torch, and pieces of ashes that fall from the burning fall on your side. Flames, you don't know whether flames bring freedom or death, exhaust your most precious things, leaving only ashes and noise, and then fall into emptiness. Or those ashes hold the splendor of diamonds like a star, the eternal morning star. Perhaps because of lack of...
