      the beginning of man

      In the beginning, people are inherently good? evil? I am not at all interested in this philosophical question. Because there is only one thinking creature in the world, and that is ourselves. It is enough to know my nature is good.
      ana is beautiful. Snow White is beautiful, but not necessarily kind. The same is true.
      I have always believed that children are angels, adults are Satan, and Satan lives by eating the hearts of children. Empty your heart and put in another demon.
      Ana...

      big eyes, cold

      Yuebai's pajamas are wrapped in a sober heart,
      you can't sleep , open your
      big eyes
      , and
      look the people who have lived and died in this big house.

      Mom told you to throw away a jar
      , she said it was filled with poison
      . A spoon kills an elephant
      So you see it as a treasure

      There is no day in the dark corridors
      Every person who walks here
      seems to be from the past when
      you closed your eyes so hard
      that when you opened...

      unreadable cruelty

      Although it is an old movie that satirizes current affairs, the purity of the picture and the beautiful eyes of the little girl make me not feel that the film is dark enough at all. I can only say that the director's eyes are very powerful and can see through the naive fantasy of children, and so on. The reality is cruel, and children are naive, but this kind of saying about raising crows seems to be a little bit more poetic than "raising tigers". Overall, the movie is well done! It's...

      Violent Elegy

      In 1975, Spanish dictator Franco died. In the same year, Saura used film to weave a violent elegy for the dictator - "Raising the Crows".
        Time and space are transformed and spliced ​​at will. Reality, fantasy and memory are reflected on the image through Anna's spiritual world. It is Spain's past, present and ambiguous future. Anna is the shadow of Saura and the shadow of the Spanish people. The extreme desire for freedom has been transformed into a strong desire to "kill the father"....

      Girl with gun

      This film is easy to think of Victor Ellis’ "Honeycomb Ghost", the same shadow of Franco’s regime, the same actress Anna, the character’s name is also Anna, the same political allusion, the same dim and repressive The family atmosphere, the same mysticism. But the difference is that "Honeycomb Ghost" shows more the outside world, Frankenstein, abandoned houses, and soldiers evading hunting. These important metaphorical elements require the audience to follow Anna out of the dim home to find...

      2016.09.30 When I read it, I always thought: It can't be that simple, can it? Is there a metaphor? ... However, I still can't dig it out, I can only see the love, sorrow and resentment of the adult world (country and era are not important) in Ana's innocent big eyes.

      The color is definitely the ultimate in small freshness! !...

      Through the narration of an adult Anna, a lens full of psychedelic colors is used to express a child's perception of the adult world, the contradictions of the family, and the bottom line of marriage. I like the part where Anna accompanies her grandmother to explain one of the postcards. I also like the three sisters dancing with "Porque te vas" in the room. I also like the interlaced feeling that Anna intersperses between reality and memory every time. At the end of the film The shot of the...

    "Cría cuervos" breaks the traditional narrative method in terms of expressive methods. Time and space can be changed at will, even interlaced and overlapped. Memories, reality, and fantasy are magnified in the image through the little girl’s spiritual world, and this is also It seems to imply Spain's past, present, and ambiguous future. The little girl can be said to be the shadow of Saola, or the shadow of the Spanish people who were...

    • Maite: My mother died before I was born.

    • Ana: Rosa, is it true that my mother always wore this cross?

      Rosa: Of course. Grandmother gave it to her. This cross keeps the devil away.

      Ana: And vampires too!

    • Ana: The only thing I remember very clearly, is that at the time, I was convinced my father was responsible for all the sadness that embittered the last years of my mother's life. I was convinced that it was he and he alone that had caused her illness and death.
