Trying to critique the absurdity of reality through the mouth of religion, but it is not easy to enter the drama. The last scene can be regarded as at least contexualize the role of Mary. Watching movies now is really not afraid of bad images, on the contrary, I am most afraid of the texture of movies (I don’t know what they are called) like those on high-definition TVs. (Especially the last glass of gasoline I...

It feels more suitable to be presented in novels rather than movies. The diary, which should have more effect on characters and plot advancement, is just a transition prop, slightly disappointed. Uncle Hawk’s acting skills are really good, but it’s a pity that the script is out of...

Like Dreyer, Bresson, and Bergman does not mean you can become Dreyer, Bresson, and...

Schrader is a person who has lived through the 70s, and a director with a sense of religion. The old horse has fire, the rebellion is reasonable, and the sacredness is also slightly evil. It does not seem to matter whether God is absent or not. In the end, he must head towards the path of transcendence. People can only learn the road that Jesus walked (but this radical line is never taken seriously, Jesus is also a revolutionary, and his death is not just a sense of religion), so he is now a...

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done/Top Ten of the Year. Schrader finally found a way to be immersed in form, visually simple, but editing has a rhythm. The ears are comfortable, and it is difficult to understand the analogy with Dreyer and Bresson (the two least value "listening"). Does everyone just look at the summary of the story? ?...

The digital format loses its beauty, and good photography doesn't help. Paul Schrader’s discussion of the relationship between God and environmental protection can be justified, but there is nothing profound....

3.5 In fact, the atmosphere has been rendered very well, solemn, depressing and gloomy. The character is trapped in his own belief crisis and has no way of redemption. Even the cramped lens and space scenes are creating a "dilemma" for him. At the same time, he has to think about a particularly grand theme that he can't do, so he can only soar in the illusion. In exchange for a respite. The foreshadowing and persuasiveness of emotional change may not be enough, but it is certain that every time...

The traumatized protagonist has carried out a long invisible soul exile to himself due to huge existential anxiety, which leads to the dislocation of his spiritual world and the real world, and this dislocation is caused by this dislocation. He embarked on the road of correction with resistance, and gained a certain short-term super through a nearly self-destructive desperate blow, and finally accepted the baptism to appreciate the true feelings of the world and became a man. Schrader’s...

4.5 Religious environmental protection, these so-called themes are not important at all, okay, the role is only to set the scene, the key is to use the lens to bring a sense of cramped space, oppressive environment, and a sense of spiritual fear constructed by various sounds. ps: It turns out that the inspiration I got from nun Ada is indeed like Pavlikowski who has found the right direction. The good thing is that it has nothing to do with Bresson...

B＋/ I don’t hesitate to build the character’s inner dilemma with overloaded text. It seems that it is overflowing but it is frozen, it seems that it is displayed outside but it is inward, and it seems that analysis is actually presented-and all this is done if there is not enough thorough and accurate image execution. Less than. Therefore, the ending may not support the air of the balance spring to the end, and there should not be too many detours, perhaps it can highlight the condensed and...
