Black Narcissus is that rare thing, an erotic English-language film about nuns' fantasies that was released just months before India's independence from Britain in August 1947, so when the nuns abandoned the Himalayas and headed down the mountain , the final image of the film might be interpreted by British audiences in 1947 as a final farewell to their fading empire, not a failed image for the filmmakers, but a sense of the British never had And understand something respectful and rational...

The Orientalist [Black Narcissus] uses a classic "Magic Mountain"-style motivation to explore the conflict between reason and emotion. The East is represented as the antithesis of norm and abstinence, and the Himalayan winds uplift the robes of the nuns, bringing back their yearning for love and beauty. Such a stereotypical theme, fortunately, the director team has done an excellent job in emotional details, so it does not appear outdated. In addition, the film is amazing in color photography,...

The old version of the big nun Clodagh is more solemn than the 2020 version of Gemma, more like a white lotus (no derogatory meaning), and has a more sense of distance from outsiders. Although she also has weak beliefs and secret lusts, these emotions are well hidden or revealed in a subtle way. It can be said that she is dealing with the human feelings of unfamiliar environments almost without changing her face. Miscellaneous things, and finally at the critical moment of facing the test, she...

Driven by the environment, people will gradually be stripped of their cocoons, unable to resist or escape. The plot of the film makes me feel a little scary, people's inner endurance is limited, it is difficult to predict when it will erupt, and the environment is a key factor. The layout of the film is very impressive, and several actors also performed...

Light and shadow fan dream
Leaving aside the film's obsession with colonial chaos, and its ubiquitous Western-centrism—a subject that could have written dozens of essays—for the filming itself, the art, camera, and sound were impeccable , together to support a magnificent Gothic allegory.
In Jack Cardiff's documentary, he... -

Black Daffodils - Withered Life
The natives are portrayed in innocence and childishness, represented by the muted holy man of the old man sitting on his tree in eternal meditation; the unbridled exoticism represented by the young general and Kanchi of Eastern mysticism. Kanchi, like a man of the Holy Spirit, never speaks, her...

Mother Dorothea: [Telling Sister Clodagh what to expect at Mopu] The agent at Mopu is an Englishman. He seems a difficult man. You won't get much help from him.

The Old General: [Speaking to the old Ayah, who dates back to when the palace, now intended for nuns, was used to house Toda Rai's father's concubines] Now listen, Ayah. I have invited some ladies to stay here, at the "house of women."
Angu Ayah: [Ecstatic, not realizing that the "ladies" Toda Rai is referring to are nuns] Ladies! Oh, that will be like old times!
The Old General: It will not be in the least like old times. They are not that kind of "lady" at all!
Angu Ayah: Then they won't be any fun.
The Old General: They are not coming for fun. These are nuns. Do you know what a nun is?
Angu Ayah: [Disdainfully] They kneel and pray all day like the monks you invited last year.
The Old General: I'm going to give them this house to make a school and a hospital for the people.
Angu Ayah: [Agitated, her voice rising] You know nobody here wants a school, and I'm sure they don't want a hospital!
The Old General: How do they know what they want until they try?
[Mr. Dean enters the room]
The Old General: The people have all kinds of diseases. They have ringworms.
Mr. Dean: They don't mind having ringworm.
The Old General: Then they ought to mind. And it will all be free!
Angu Ayah: It was free last time, and nobody came!
The Old General: They will this time.
