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theme, fortunately, the director team has done an excellent job in emotional details, so it does not appear outdated.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...

Stylization is never the reason why movies are bad
This is an Indian colonial version of "Spring in a Small Town", but the latter is limited to a subtle and bitter atmosphere, or that film can only refer to something else because it can't refer to too much, an awkward end, It makes the spring of a small town out of the reality shown by the....

The black daffodils that suddenly open in the exotic snow peaks
I stumbled upon an old movie "Black Narcissus" filmed in 1947. I finally found resources to watch it, and I liked it very much. The story takes place in the Himalayas in Nepal, where the scenery is beautiful, and a group of nuns were sent by the church to the fairyland on earth to preach, run...

Angu Ayah: [Ayah and Mr. Dean both admire an old wall painting which depicts the palace in its former glory days, when it served as the so-called "House of Women" - a place where Toda Rai's father housed his concubines] A convent in this house! What do you think of that?
Mr. Dean: The brothers only stayed five months. Perhaps the sisters won't stay long, either.
[Ayah and Mr. Dean grin mischievously at each other]

Mother Dorothea: -
[With Sister Clodagh: looking at photos of the palace at Mopu]
Mother Dorothea: The house is nine thousand feet up - very cold, but good air. General Toda Rai, who has invited us to Mopu, has promised us every help. He was a little afraid when he learned that we are bound to our order only by yearly vows. I explained this rule to him.
Sister Clodagh: Yes, Reverend Mother.
Mother Dorothea: For more than a century, to serve voluntarily has been one of the glories of our Order.
Sister Clodagh: And our greatest strength.
Mother Dorothea: Exactly. He understands now. Is there anything you would like to ask?
Sister Clodagh: Who am I to take with me?
Director: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
