      Movie Review: The Antichrist

      Hardcore movie. The effect of the picture is very beautiful, especially the black and white objects that appear many times, and the close-up of animals and human parts, which is very touching. But I don’t like the story very much. The whole chapter is full of specious metaphors, and there are too many aspects to interpret. But as I said, it's pretty simple. There is a saying in the East that "beauty is bad for water". There is never a shortage of cheap men in this world who push all their...

      Lust and Trauma Anxiety

      This is an incomplete psychoanalytic film review.

      There are many metaphors and symbols in Lars von Trier's works, and he likes to be entangled in the themes of anti-rationality and anti-institutionalization. The things that are designated as evil and dark in the evolution of human society have always been the eternal topic of his films.

      "Antichrist" follows Lars von Trier's usual style of "deviant", "horror" and "pain"

      At the beginning of the film, there is a picture of the...

      Back to nature, back to humanity, back to Freud

      "The male protagonist is confident and rational, and uses his psychoanalysis and psychotherapy theories." Please be careful not to talk nonsense if you do not understand psychoanalysis. The male protagonist uses modern psychotherapy methods, specifically cognitive therapy, focus therapy, and imagery. Therapy, relaxation therapy, behavioral therapy, role-playing. In the film, the heroine mentioned dreams, saying that modern psychology no longer studies dreams, and that Freud was dead, but the...

      Love and hatred share the same root, desire and sin have the same origin, "The Antichrist" is a beautiful tragedy

      The text is transferred from: Love and hate have the same root, desire and sin have the same origin

      "The Antichrist" opens with a breathtakingly perfect interpretation of a family tragedy-white snowflakes fluttering outside the window, accompanied by the high-pitched and euphemistic arias in Handel's opera, inside the house, not far from the window sill In the distance, a couple is forgetting their feelings, the slowly rotating washing...

      Film reviews about Satan's Emotions and Desires are basically out of focus

      I didn’t want to write a film review, and I’ve never written a film review before. This is the first time I’ve written it, mainly because I saw that all the comments on this film on the Internet were attached to Christianity. There are many details in the decomposition of the main line of the film, so I won't go into details one by one.
        
         The struggle and disillusionment of human beings towards the ultimate emptiness and meaninglessness of life runs through the film. The film...

      You are not God, don't always try to save others, even the closest ones. Run and run. There is no relationship between sex and love here. Sex is just a release of inner entanglement and...

    Movie plot

    On a frantic and slightly sad night, a couple lost their lovely young son Nick. This incident dealt a great blow to them, and also brought this originally contradictory marriage to the edge of collapse. The wife ( Charlotte Gansber ) has been immersed in grief for a long time, unable to extricate herself. As a psychologist, the husband ( played by William Dafoe ) hopes to bridge the broken marriage on the one hand, and on the other...

    Evaluation action

    "Antichrist" is a beautiful but sensational movie. The film uses a layer of pseudo-Christian fables to distort a normal person’s thinking about the good and evil of human nature. (Comment by "Entertainment Weekly" in the United States)
    "The Antichrist" has too many allegories in the film. The husband, from the head of the family who dominates his destiny and is full of rationality, suddenly becomes a victim who is at the mercy of...

    Movie quotes

    • He: Acorns don't cry, you know that as well as I do. That's what fear is, thoughts distort reality. Not the other way around.

    • He: Exposure. That's the only thing that works. Everything else is just talk. You have to have to courage to stay in the situation that frightens. And then you'll learn that fear isn't dangerous.

    • She: Oak trees grow to be hundreds of years old. They only have to produce one single tree every hundred years in order to propagate. May sound banal to you but it was a big thing for me to realize that when I was up here with Nic. The acorns fell on the roof vent. They kept falling and falling. And die and die. And I understood that everything that used to be beautiful about Eden was perhaps hideous. Now I could hear what I couldn't hear before. The cry of all the things that are to die.
