    When God prevented mankind from building the Tower of Babel, he also prevented mankind from uniting in faith. Dreyer's films are far gentler than life itself. Even a non-religious person like me had a hard time not being moved by the miracle of Inge's resurrection in the final...

    The content in the film is too metaphysical, although there is a happy ending, but more details make people puzzled, Dreyer does not discuss the good faith and love in this film at all, for example, why did he choose to let Jesus "resurrection" ", why did Johannes leave after Inge died, why did Johannes come back and say "Yes, Dad, I'm back to myself" and then perform miracles, there are so many problems, and the scene scheduling is...

    20190623@Studio Jumiao revisits the sacred and noble, which is like a miraculous movie in itself, with a strong religious overtone, but the focus is still on the concern for the essence of "human", both believe in God, but differences can Big enough to curse close neighbors, it’s not so much devotion to God, it’s better to ask too much from God. What is true devotion? Faith is easily shaken or even collapsed in the face of suffering, what is faith and suffering? Your words are only your comment

    Dreyer's long shot is so long... The feeling of watching this film is rather complicated. The first 10 minutes are very attractive, but soon I am distracted by the same rhythm and the same camera movement, and there are occasional jumps in the middle. The rhythm of the shot, the bright one -- reminds me that this is a great movie. The back is good, and the ending is strong. Maybe I haven't read Dreyer...

    Coincidentally or not, Ordet is definitely the genre's best answer to "Idiot" -- but not a question-and-answer. Just as Dostoevsky used the word idiot to seal up the chaos of Petersburg and thus achieve self-consistency, so Ordet does not have to rely on other texts to prove miracles. Dreyer is undoubtedly in the tradition of Danish literary adaptations, but the heights he went to still seem...

    When beliefs about loved ones become less important, they all expect a miracle//And the miracle appears so bland as if it's just a long sleep//It's as delicately designed as a stage play, and it's not annoying at all. Serious, gentle and classical.// Compared to the miracle in the film, I almost feel that the director himself is a miraculous...

    At the resurrection moment, a cult tried to take the lead, but unfortunately the middle way...

    People have only watched half an hour, and they are already living in this movie. People can live so peacefully and prosperously, and grow old so slowly. Modern human life is too complicated for one shot. If a drama is made into a video, it will probably be like this. The drama is deep and the dialogue reflects the heart and character of the characters. When performing, most of them are turned to the camera sideways. Grandpa always faces the camera without talking to the camera, which is a kind...

    The story itself is not complicated, but art films, religious elements, long-shot slow rhythm, and the way the drama is performed... The black-and-white miracle film has too high demands on the audience. But it should not be that it is not good enough, but professionals may feel more. Dreyer is as obscure as...
