Black Narcissus is that rare thing, an erotic English-language film about nuns' fantasies that was released just months before India's independence from Britain in August 1947, so when the nuns abandoned the Himalayas and headed down the mountain , the final image of the film might be interpreted by British audiences in 1947 as a final farewell to their fading empire, not a failed image for the filmmakers, but a sense of the British never had And understand something respectful and rational...

The Orientalist [Black Narcissus] uses a classic "Magic Mountain"-style motivation to explore the conflict between reason and emotion. The East is represented as the antithesis of norm and abstinence, and the Himalayan winds uplift the robes of the nuns, bringing back their yearning for love and beauty. Such a stereotypical theme, fortunately, the director team has done an excellent job in emotional details, so it does not appear outdated. In addition, the film is amazing in color photography,...

The old version of the big nun Clodagh is more solemn than the 2020 version of Gemma, more like a white lotus (no derogatory meaning), and has a more sense of distance from outsiders. Although she also has weak beliefs and secret lusts, these emotions are well hidden or revealed in a subtle way. It can be said that she is dealing with the human feelings of unfamiliar environments almost without changing her face. Miscellaneous things, and finally at the critical moment of facing the test, she...

Driven by the environment, people will gradually be stripped of their cocoons, unable to resist or escape. The plot of the film makes me feel a little scary, people's inner endurance is limited, it is difficult to predict when it will erupt, and the environment is a key factor. The layout of the film is very impressive, and several actors also performed...

Black Daffodils - Withered Life
The natives are portrayed in innocence and childishness, represented by the muted holy man of the old man sitting on his tree in eternal meditation; the unbridled exoticism represented by the young general and Kanchi of Eastern mysticism. Kanchi, like a man of the Holy Spirit, never speaks, her...

Powell and Pressburger's "Black Narcissus"
Probably Powell and Pressburger's most conventional film, Black Narcissus is required viewing, even if it isn't their finest hour. A bizarre melodrama about English nuns attempting to establish a mission high up in the Himalayas, Narcissus is somewhat of a companion piece to I Know Where I'm Going,...

Sister Ruth: Sister, the schoolroom is overflowing with children. We've nothing unpacked yet. No one understands the language. There are too many of them anyway, and they all smell!
