    It's boring, but the stamina is quite sufficient, and the part of Shenyou is very...

    Religious and cultural film, the thinking in it includes a lot of despair of reality. The priest wraps himself in thorns of steel, the pain of faith. This pain comes from many aspects, the sense of powerlessness in reality, the hatred of sin in the world, the torture of morality, the extreme of thinking, but can not find the support of the doctrine to replace the wrath of God. The hearts that are willing to save others also need to be saved by...

    68/100 Questioning will strengthen the faith, but it may be a different story after several blows such as loss of love, self-defeating, moral shock, health damage, and desire trying to break through repression. But the film can be expanded to understand the category of traditional values' disgust and criticism of social changes and changes in human...

    I especially like the unique atmosphere and the photography that goes well with it. On the basis of "Diary of a Village Priest", environmental protection elements are added. The male protagonist's psychological portrayal and performance can be described as excellent. The departure of his son's deceased wife, the torture of the virus questioned his beliefs, his empty and lonely soul like a desert was affected by extreme environmentalism, and the female protagonist may be the earth to him. on the...

    1. Another spiritual work by Paul Schrader continues to present the mental journey of a cynical male. 2. Academic narrow-frame, almost full-length fixed shots (only a few sports shots mostly occur when the male and female protagonists are together), a lot of close-ups and close-ups, tilt shots, cool low-saturated colors & low-light lighting, indoors The minimalist furnishings, cramped space, and sparse soundtrack of the film all reinforce the gloomy and solemn tone of the film. 3. The structure...

    3.5 It is very funny to talk about environmental protection with religion, and I didn't buy in at all at the end of the collapse (love saves all are stupid). Schrader is indeed worthy of being a practitioner of transcendentalism in the new era, and his rigorous and neat photography is extremely wonderful. It's a pity that his text ability is always the same level of Taxi Driver, straightforward and...

    [B] In the static medium/panorama shots, the characters are naturally oppressed to extremes (the 4:3 frame ensures the extrusion from the image space), and then in the relationship with the heroine, through light movement for short-term relief. Two key passages (the ascension of meditation and the end), the sudden interior panorama, the contrast of light and shadow inside and outside the door frame, after the front and back are connected to violate the minimalist style of mirror movement, so...

    Chier + Madtier + Bresson + Lobster? ? The one-way emotional development line has not turned a single bend. The long-winded lectures and debates are so boring. What is the special effect of Shuangxiu trying to express? Wanted to touch on the question of "existence", but it was too shallow, and the ambiguity was confusing. One star for Hot...

First Reformed quotes

  • Jason: If happiness came in pill size, it would have JC stamped on it.

  • Jake: I just get tired of "turn the other cheek." Jesus didn't turn the other cheek. Why stand for anything? Take prayer out of the schools. Give money to people too lazy to work for it. And whatever you do, don't offend the Muslims.
