    People with scars all over themselves try to get religious protection, but they find that they can't actually warm the world or save themselves. The first part is full of skill, but the second half of the plot develops abruptly, and the ending symbolizes...

    Too author, it's a country priest's version of "Taxi Driver", it might be better to remove the scene where the hero and heroine kiss each other at the...

    The lines have no depth. When discussing deeper issues, they tend to be superficial but never tire of chattering. This inability to go deep but wander around directly leads to the collapse of the character's emotional logic and the construction of the main theme of the story. I can't help it. It is also worth mentioning that the presentation effect of the two protagonists hugging and taking off is just a cutout of the scenery of the TV series. It can probably be seen how the director is so...

    Haunting, unnerving, desolate, and piercing. Toller's religious, human, and political struggles and despair remain truthful and resonating. Cold heaviness throughout the film. Dignified, grim, transcendental moments have restrained tension. The lines and monologues are very well written. Fixed lenses and Academy Ratio are also...

    Interesting The first reformation and the first priest who changed his mind The inner relationship and contradiction between environmental protection and the American Christian church. The psychic (very childish green screen) of Hawke and Amanda sticking together and the rotating shot of hugging and kissing at the end Adds a lot of color to the whole dead movie, a priest who is torn between asceticism and suicide...

    The selection of camera positions is that the first shot of each scene has a large depth of field. After that, the dialogue part is almost edited between the front and back shots and this set-up shot. The space between the edits is excellent, and most of the composition pushes the characters to one side. , on the other side, "blank" is to emphasize a sense of ritual, abstraction, and the unified combination of form and...

    Gloomy and solemn, the atmosphere is like a horror movie, the square format and the design composition are very oppressive, the camera advances like a ghost, and the desolation of the soul is more frightening than the deterioration of the environment; it really is a village priest + winter The perception of light, but the reality is placed on the issue of environmental protection, and the ending is still in the release and closing of "love" (individual love and so-called big love), which also...

    The part where the two of them fly on the cover of king crimson's islands is so funny. . But it was fine until the last shot. Such a perfect priest made me, who was absolutely anti-religious, feel the call of religion, probably out of my fantasy of love that had nowhere to go. . The priest's later bizarre behavior also made me feel all kinds of empathy (so he was probably just depressed and anxious). . So the last scene broke me all of a sudden, and sure enough, people are still people, just...

    Time has settled, Ethan Hawke is still handsome

    First of all, let's talk about what the Reformed Church is. The Reformed Church is one of the oldest tribes of Christianity. It was founded by the Dutch in the 17th century when they colonized the East Coast of the United States, so it is also called the Dutch Reformed Church. This church believes...

The theme of "The Servant of God Experiencing the Spiritual Night" of this play has a long history in Western...
