      The battle between religion and secular

      After reading the director's information, I realized that "April Three Weeks and Two Days" and "Graduation Exam" are also his works. "Beyond the Mountain" is very different from the director's two famous works. "April Three Weeks and Two Days" and "Graduation Exam" reveal the reality from the use of the camera lens to the themes displayed. Both of them are works with strong ups and downs and fast rhythm. Some bridges in "Beyond the Mountain" also have these shadows. For example, when...

      Persecution in the Name of Salvation

      Throughout the whole film, the director did not intend to accuse religious beliefs, but just narrated calmly from the perspective of an outsider. The death of Alina, on the surface, was indeed the conspiracy of everyone in the monastery headed by the priest. In the name of God, they subjectively concluded that Alina was possessed by a demon, and only God could save her.

      After the unsatisfactory life, some people bowed down to the sanctuary of the gods, relying on their commitment. As...

      She loves her, but she loves God

      People inside the mountain believe in God and believe that they can get the protection of the soul in the monastery; people outside the mountain have free thinking, have their own judgments on everything, and even recognize science.

      So, people from outside the mountain came to the mountain. She didn't believe in God, her soul was ugly, and everyone tried to change her, thinking she was an alien.

      There is a God who lives in my heart, and when I encounter anything, there will be no...

      Good people and good things go wrong

      There are not many movies that I can watch at once, this " Beyond the Mountain " ( După dealuri , 2012) is a rare exception, and it is the scene of "stealing the key" that I saw almost to the end of the film, I just realized suddenly...

      The inexplicable sense of oppression that suddenly disappeared has been pressing on me since the close-up shot of the two girlfriends walking...

      "Beyond the Mountain" - A farewell brings a mountain of estrangement

      Alina and Vikoyaki grew up in an orphanage, helped each other, and developed feelings beyond friendship. Later, Alina went to work in Germany alone, leaving Vikoyaki to live in a monastery alone. Because of this parting, the two straight lines that once intersected, then drifted apart.

      At the beginning of the movie, Vikoyaki went to the train station to pick up Alina. At the moment of goodbye, Alina left her luggage and hugged Vikoyaki and cried with joy, while Vikoyaki was calm and...

      The calm footage, the stable narrative, and the right adaptation make people think calmly after the accidental ending. Until the end, it is difficult for me to say that the tragedy happened because of religious ignorance. Religion is the superstition of a group of people, but it is a spiritual product that must appear in a certain era. Its good news is definitely greater than disaster, but now its survival in the scientific world is already difficult, and the first thing that can break the...

      Make-up classes at the Beijing Film Festival. Ugly Humanity Executed by God's Will, UK version such as cracks in 2009. This is a dark and cold, restrained and ruthless Mengji, who is increasingly stable and lacks surprises, but at the end of the nurses and policemen chatting, splashing dirty water on the car windows, and cutting the small panoramic view from the escort car to the double medium shot all show that After all, seniors...

    "După dealuri" is heavy. Mengji used a rather restrained and calm approach to present the power of human nature a little bit by bit, using images to express his thoughts and attitudes. All kinds of power that directly touch people's hearts make people have to think and ask themselves. This kind of film that can torture the soul is undoubtedly painful and hearty   .
