Stream-of-consciousness movies are very obscure, don't they just want to attack the political and legal system? Why don't you make it so...

Kafka's stuff cannot be adapted, his writing is full of ambiguity, and as long as one tries to interpret it, it is bound to oversimplify. From this perspective, Orson Welles' [The Trial] is the best example of this type of literary adaptation. While maintaining a relatively large amount of loyalty to the original text, he conveys the humility of "it's just my family's words" with the meta paragraph at the end. Where the thickness of the text was compromised, he made up for it with unparalleled...

Probably the strongest adaptation of Kafka's work. Ao Pang uses black and white light and shadow (K and the painter are almost dreamy), unique scenery (the tall and majestic building is compared with the human like insects, symbolizing the power contrast between the system and the individual), and the oppressive perspective and space shape Kafka's novels The wonderful surreal feeling in it makes the whole movie feel like a nightmare. You can never get rid of an unwarranted...

【A+】Excellent. Wells, who had a perfect command of the film industry, stood on the shoulders of Kafka and reached the height of Kubrick's mind, thus becoming invulnerable. The audiovisual is uncompromisingly perfect, beautiful long shots, flowing light and shadow, and a repressed large elevation angle. Some places think of "2001: A Space Odyssey" several times (and this one was actually years ahead of 2001), the detached workers, the lifeless trials, the cold horror, a labyrinthine nightmare,...

1. What a stunning shot! The smooth movement of the long mirror, the upward and downward shooting forms a strong visual tension; 2. The light and shadow are like a nightmare, ravaging the nerves of people; 3. The densely packed people in the big panorama are like ants, and the small human beings under the huge reinforced concrete, but In the cold buildings and collective system, the individual is at a loss and...

Lots of dialogue, lots of metaphors,...

A work of genius! There has never been such a visual experience, and the scene has never been seen by other directors. The legal status quo described by Kafka is similar to that of our country today, so the various encounters of the male protagonist are not unfamiliar to the Chinese. The solution at the end is very natural, and the director finally released our two hours of...
