    Buñuel's masterpiece, Palme d'Or, Cannes, 1961. ①Bunuel’s humorous allegory and the flogging of reality, religious disillusionment and secular ugliness; ②The "Last Supper" subversion parody with sacred music, which is admirable; ③The cross-editing of prayer and labor and multiple metaphorical montages; ④Rope skipping -Hanging-trousers-rape, reincarnation throughout; ⑤ all cats are black at night, all sins are bright during the day; ⑥ the director is a foot fetish....

    First, the script is very good, but in most of the beginning, I felt that the director had too many white keys, which made the mirror language too rigid and not smooth. Second, the weak are not without desire and hatred, but they are unable to achieve it. So Kafka said: "In a certain sense, good is a sin" and this film is undoubtedly a perfect commentary. Third, after seeing the second half, I suddenly understood why the director controlled the rhythm like this, because he was Bunuel, not...

    Civilization thought was originally the self-help opium of life's bitter journey, but when it rises to ethical taboos, it is the bondage of desire release. Stupid to religious dogma is the red cloth that blinds the truth. The original desire of man is the juice of the carnival of life. As long as you don't cross the red line of destruction, you can have the relaxing and joyful vision at the end of the film. I call this state of harmony....

    Carnival dancing in Hallelujah, the last supper of the beggar ronin, and the collapse of faith in the mirror. Under the appearance of self-deception, hypocrisy and sacredness, the three classes sit around and play cards in peace. The puppy was tied under the carriage, and the cross opened with a knife. "All cats are black at night, and all sins are bright during the day." It is not surreal, but with the same irony power, and the mirror moves accurately and without a trace. Religious Trilogy, 61...

    1. The last supper of the beggar—the frantic feast, the disillusionment of utopia, the collapse of faith, Veridiana can only succumb to reality; 2. The parallel editing of life and faith, work and prayer is impressive; 3. Material. Poverty brings more terrible thoughts and behaviors. Poorness in quality is hopeless and self-willing, but this is the best reality. You can't expect to change the inertia held in a long life for a while; 4. Uncle's death and The little girl's skipping rope is...

    Buñuel’s most notable demeanor seems to lie in the conciseness and conciseness of the usual form (perhaps sometimes excessively refined), including close-ups of all invisible feet, a taste of any ambiguous relationship, and even the small scene of Viridiana peeling an apple. Don’t waste pen and ink...Watching Buñuel’s movies can always feel respected, because he never treats the audience as a...

    The Lord’s bride rejected the clumsy proposal of the wretched and really poor uncle, causing the latter to commit suicide due to humiliation. The girl bid farewell to the monastery as a way of repentance. Fang Jiewa attacked, smashed, smashed the tank, and even wanted to rape the benefactor, but easily killed the benefactor for money and...

    The make-up lesson was shocked by Bunuel again!!! At first, I didn’t know what style it was. Later, when one face of uncle was over, the other faces flashed out, and then the god made a stroke of the last one. The irony of the dinner is frozen in the frame-true God!!! It is indeed the best film evaluated by Lao Bu!!! I really like the creator of Jiangzi's constant thinking and a relaxed sense of humor~~ Later I saw that he and Da Li is a good partner, that's how it...

    In a standard three-act play, Mr. Bu uses the mirror very elegantly (the position is fine, and the shots are simply exemplary), much more exquisite than the Mexican period. Although it is not surreal, it satirizes "Utopian Socialism" severely. The third act can't help but reminiscent of Han's three or something. The highlight is the cos of the Last...

Viridiana quotes

  • Viridiana: I know my own weakness, and whatever I do will be humble. But, however little it is, I want to do it alone.

  • [first lines]

    Mother Superior: Sister Viridiana. Your uncle sent word that he can't come to see you take your vows.

    Viridiana: Very well, Mother.

    Mother Superior: You seem unconcerned.

    Viridiana: I hardly know him. I only met him once, years ago.

    Mother Superior: He invites you to visit him.

    Viridiana: I'd rather not leave the convent.

    Mother Superior: I'm afraid he's in poor health. He's your only relative. You should bid him farewell before taking your vows. You will never see him again.
