Back then, the church gave black slaves asylum and redeemed the disciples; now the faith is for tourists to observe and is bound by capital. Negative Jing’s back was pierced with blood, and a tumor grew in his alcoholic stomach. The hare he rescued could no longer die, and the tombstone he raised could not resurrect. The rebirth in the mother's womb can't give a sign of destruction, and the New Testament in the Bible can't find an answer to the pain. The desperate man picked up despair and...

7. It is a very comfortable stuffy, stuffy feeling of retro art film. Kind of...

The contradiction between the individual and the faith, the entanglement between the secular and the sacred, and the understanding of the suffering of sentient beings tied to the cross and martyrdom, can they be firm in the face of gentleness and selfish desires? This is the last temptation of Christ and the root cause of humanity's inability to remain...

All aspects of the configuration are very similar to the "Diary of a Country Priest", the setting of the protagonist of the clergy/alcohol and disease, etc., who are more suspicious of their beliefs and have a tendency to self-destruct. The extreme environmentalist husband and the woman who cared for the protagonist but was rejected both bear the shadow of the roles of Feng Sudoff and Ingrid Turing in "Winter Light". I don’t know if it’s because I don’t care about religion and environmental...

Seeing that everyone is still talking about "Taxi Driver", I know that Schrader, as the director, will probably never make it out... The whole film is basically on by Ethan Hawke... .. Lesson after lesson. Ignoring the first few hard and fast movies, Paul Schrader’s style is becoming more and more “rules”. This one does not even have a moving camera, and there is almost no simple shaking. It is used almost 99% of the time. Fix the lens. The newcomers are getting more and more radical, and the...

#Venice2017# The title of the film should be translated into "First Reformed Society". Schrader photographed an environmentally-friendly version of "The Diary of a Country Pastor" in a small American town or suburb, with some genre elements. It's a pity that it's too preaching, and they are all chattering about God and environmental protection. In some places, sound and picture overlays were used, but there was no structure at all. I can see that the budget is very low and the photography is...

Except for the dream of "double repair and double flight" from the dilemma of the forced room before the arrival of extreme choices, Toller's emotional and behavioral changes, especially the sudden belief in environmental extremism, are still very unconvincing. Paul Schneider was unable to recreate a classic scene of "Taxi Driver" talking to himself, nor was he capable of creating a wonderful image of "God Absence" like Bergman's "Silence of God"...

Very much "Taxi Driver". When I watched it, I felt that the frame was different from the usual. The camera position, camera angle, and composition of the picture were all different from the usual. In fact, they were all deliberately by the director. The story is actually very simple. The priest went from rejection to awakening to struggle, but the narrative method was very jumpy. The director is making a movie that makes him happy. If the audience can follow it, just follow it. The priest...

Paul Schrader has been filming this and doing that for a while in the past few years. I don't know if there is anything he needs to express urgently, at least it's not obvious in this movie. Religion and environmental protection, it’s difficult to explain clearly on either topic, this one is still talked together... In short, it’s very strange, the mutation of the protagonist’s beliefs is not...
