      three-part movie

      "Quiet Passion": A biographical film about the American poetess. To be honest, I watched it three times. The dialogues are all poems. At first, I thought it was too literary and too creative, and the only thing worthwhile was photography. The second time I thought Emily was too unlovable at times; just read poetry, no need to read the biography of the poet. The third time, she was afflicted by illness and her parents left; she still wrote poetry. Father believed; Mother loved. The line "Why...

      As one of the few biopic genres, this one really shouldn't be missed

      It should not be difficult for everyone to see that European and American directors seem to be particularly fond of making biographical films. Politicians, businessmen , news figures, literati and other figures from all walks of life have been filmed over and over again. Whether it is a popular big coffee or an unpopular small coffee, as long as the story of the character meets the needs of the movie, you can immediately get on the machine. Looking at the last two years, the Cannes...

      Lonely love, the life of a poetess

      A short review of the film "Quiet Passion"

      This film tells the life of a poetess. The biographical form is beautifully filmed. It calmly narrates the love of poetry by the poet Emily Dickinson. Her life is a life that very few people can really walk into. , she is eager for marriage and love, no one can escape from birth, old age, sickness and death, she is plagued by illness, and ultimately cannot escape death.

      For her, poetry was her solace in the afterlife and surrounded her....

      "Silent Passion"

      I used to like watching movies. I am afraid that this kind of watching can't even be called "appreciation", just as an ordinary audience. Just focus on the plot, whether it is new or old, whether commercial or literary, regardless of the scene, regardless of photography skills, whether it is an idol group or a powerful group. Just looking at a good story.

      Looking at it, I gradually began to pay attention to the actors' acting skills, the director's scheduling, the use of light and the...

      quiet enthusiasm

      Dickinson is like a raging fire wrapped under the icy exterior, burning silently in the solemn and gloomy atmosphere of the whole film. Time does not flow, but is almost brutally cut, and the verse jumps out at any time without any intention, out of place and as if it should be. Her rebellious heart beat wildly and was hurt over the years, and finally gradually stopped and disappeared into nothingness. The two magical reality scenes are excellent, and the Davis script is still so good....

      After reading Dickinson for so many years, I realized that what I read is probably different from what is in the movie. Everyone's emotions were as turbulent as in a play, and I couldn't understand what they were excited about. Finally brought me back to the shadow of shouting and drizzle, oh my...

      With Mr. Turner in front, watching other British classical dramas can only be described as "tasteless", not to mention that the theme is so similar, the first half of the scene has a very subtle transition scene showing the jump in time and...

      Terence Davis' master-level scheduling skills are vividly displayed in the opening scenes. Whether it is in the same space or in different spaces, the conflicts and oppositions between characters are very dramatic and chemical, not to mention beautiful. Classic oil painting-like sets and long panning shots in lighting, but the narrative's pursuit of a linear time span has made the film take a long time to scrutinize every aspect of Dickinson as a...
