    The first Dogma95 film I personally saw, I didn't understand and hated Yang's approach. The surreal ending beautified Beth's pure and beautiful beliefs. After watching it, I was in a daze for a long time....

    In the scene where Emily Watson got on and off the bus, she vomited, then lowered her head and blamed herself, and then comforted herself with a divine tone, her light brown eyes seemed to merge with the misty mountains behind her, When she left, she still learned how a rabbit eats. She was naturally used to it here, but God did not accept her. God is a bigger universe, and God will make you unable to do anything, so what is the meaning of our existence? This time, I found that Katrin Carter's...

    The first short review I wrote three years ago was terrible. . . This time, I went to the library with Xiaopangdun for the second time. I felt that I was not moved. The evaluation of this almost paranoid to perverted woman in my mind was completely "crazy and passionate love." The heroine under the oppression is completely a feminist who fights for herself, and finally turning into a real big bell in a small town is completely a break from the social...

    She will doubt herself, but she has never doubted love, such desperate, morbidly deformed love. I didn't feel that Von Trier was despising religion. He despised religion that was attached to rights and precepts, while extreme kindness would call for...

    Heart-breaking film, this devout, mad, self-sacrificing heroine looks like a dancer in the dark, and it really is the same director. It was beautiful, but the ending was ruined. If you stay on the point of not knowing whether the heroine is crazy or the real God appears, there is more room for reverie. Why does the director have to answer this unanswerable question? Turned into a cheap religious redemption film that had nothing to do with the character's tragedy. 20150321 China Film...
