    The power of betrayal of belief actually comes from the belief itself, seemingly contradictory is not contradictory. The old horse is a real...

    Lao Ma's best work in recent years, but unfortunately Garfield's acting skills can't keep...

    You may not be moved by their beliefs, but it's hard not to be moved by the power of their beliefs. God is silent and merciful, and we are all the people of Yuanyou... Martin is worthy of the master of this era, natural light, and abandoning the soundtrack , the empty scene with no way forward, if it weren't for the excessive force of Garfield's little plum, the look and feel of the movie could still go to a higher level - the queen's male protagonist has a problem, and I don't know if the old...

    The test faced by the protagonist in the first half is that God responds silently to prayer and suffering, and the second half is how to live a double life in external silence and inner faith. This is no problem, but the driving force of the film is almost always the Japanese characters in the film. Sadistic-style endless sadism (not just the body), with a lot of scenes but no complexity, it's a bit uncomfortable to watch; Garfield is really soft and sweet, and the first sentence is too...

    When I finished reading the novel, my comment was: "Believe is there, but the outside is empty." When belief becomes a religion, it transcends the category of individuals and has a group nature, which cannot be verified but can only be falsified. This is an excuse to practice domestication. and domination. If God were...

    I haven't read the original book and the old Japanese version, but it is enough to empathize with the struggle and forbearance faced by the hero in the film. However, old Martin's straightforward narrative style and lengthy length have narrowed the space for people to think. In addition, Garfield's performance is also...

    The film is humble enough, but it still can't hide the arrogance that comes out of the original. I rolled my eyes while watching the movie. Both China, Japan and Portugal have too narrow an understanding and practice of their respective religious spirits. Regarding the extreme situation of missionaries and peasants, the main creator did not look for the reasons from the shogunate society that created all this, but quietly put the blame on Buddhism and Japanese customs. If you really switch to...

    Three and a half stars, the obsession of giving up faith is far more tormented than physical torture. The fixed camera position and no soundtrack create an inseparable connection between aesthetics and reality, adding to the exploration of faith and giving a state of meditation. The cut-in from the Western point of view has more sense of unknown than Shinoda Masahiro's Japanese version. However, the rhythm is not well controlled, the last scene is superfluous, the Japanese characters are also...

    After all, Martin is a master. If he is not careful, it may become a book of running accounts. The second scene begins to get better, and the struggling feeling of watching the movie lasts until the end. It brings together a group of powerful Japanese actors of all ages, and Asia is no longer a set board (such as [Memoirs of a Geisha], etc.), and there is a wrestling between the East and the West, which is...

    Is it true love or a fence built for oneself / Mice is praised / The comparison between Christian villages and Buddhist temples, guards and believers, etc. can see that they are trying to avoid masking / Straightforwardly express this sense of superiority (of the priest) / I think the film The conflict in the book is not between two religious sects, but a confrontation between a believer and the supreme political power / I don't know if it is performance or other factors, although restrained,...

    "Silence": God is silent, wait for us to speak

    The first time I wrote a long review, dedicated to the old horse.

    I got to know Martin Scors from "Silence". At that time, the professor was talking about the topic of religion, and he accidentally mentioned the movie "Silence". I went to watch it, and I fell in love with Martin Scors ever since....

    How long will "Silence" last?

    Martin Scorsese directed "Silence" (2016), the subject matter is unfortunate, not many people are optimistic, it is somewhat adventurous, but the history of light and shadow for more than 100 years, destined that some directors care more about their inner orphan creation. Just like his previous...
