      What do you want to learn about The Seventh Seal?

      The film is a limited parody of The Seventh Seal, revolving around the Black Death and witch hunts. Some bridges are even copied! For example, when the knights encountered the atonement Christians, they carried huge crosses on their backs and whipped themselves continuously...
         The Black Death is related to the rise and fall of the human species, and the hunt for witches is closely related to the spiritual world of people. This is how the darkness and bloodshed of human history...

      Death of the Heart, Death of the Man - From Formal Pain to Spiritual Pain

      This is a good movie. Or rather, it's a very painful movie.

      Everywhere in the film can feel the intentions of the crew. The lines and even the actors' accents are deliberately rustic. As a visual art, the film can always help the audience to get into the play when the form is in place. From costume props to screenwriters, it can also be seen that he has done his homework with reference to history.
      Moreover, this is not just a commercial film that stays on the surface and attracts...

      God and Disease

      The Black Death is the most mysterious disease in history. From 1348 to 1352, it turned Europe into a death trap, a road to destruction that wiped out a third of Europe's population, totaling about 25 million people! For the next 300 years, the Black Death continued to visit cities and towns in Europe and Asia, threatening those who survived the disaster. Although it is no longer possible to accurately count deaths in Europe, the records left by many towns have witnessed staggering losses:...

      Watching BLACK DEATH feels good!

      BLACK DEATH, also known as the Black Death. It sounds like a horror movie or a thriller. It is actually a realistic film about religion and human nature. The plot is very straightforward.
          However, it is a movie with such a straightforward plot, but it has a profound understanding and thinking about religion. I personally think that religion and belief are just the fuse. Selfishness, desire, hatred, betrayal, and revenge in human nature are what the film wants to express. There is no...

      medieval seriousness

      A serious medieval drama about faith and human nature. The reality is cruel, the young monk became cold after experiencing all the cruelty, and began to stop catching witches to catching witches himself. Humanity should not be annihilated in disputes of beliefs. This is something to ponder.
      Because it is a serious drama, there is no entertainment plot, it restores the seriousness and calmness of the Middle Ages, and it is very realistic. It is like a documentary, but the plot is not very...

    The Exploration of Faith in the Age of Despair

    The director said in an interview that "Black Death" is the darkest movie since its inception. If you have ever experienced the torture of the cycle of time and the kind of despair that cannot be turned back in "Triangle", then in this film I'm afraid to endure the director's greater spiritual "destruction". In fact, this is a film with a serious theme. He tried to substituting the modern audience into the psychological state of the...
