      Look at it only the French Revolution itself is worth studying

      The characters in the film are all hysterical when they talk, and they talk endlessly, especially dull, and they do not show the magnificent and terrifying era. Dandong has a certain personality, but because the director's control is not enough, this personality is diluted by too much talk, making heroes not heroes, monsters not monsters, and scholars not scholars. And Robespierre, not like a tyrant, many behaviors are quite inexplicable and illogical.
      It is worth mentioning that the...

      After Dandong's victory

      No one seems to mention ... Andrzej Wajda made a film like "Dantong" with its relevance, which is clearly alluding to the Polish Solidarity movement at the time. Due to severe economic pressure and sharp social contradictions, the Polish government's attempt to implement inflation in 1980 caused a large-scale strike. opposition. Jaruzelski, then prime minister, announced martial law in 1981, and Solidarity went underground. The filming date of "Dandong" was basically the period from the...

      Why does "Dandong" frighten me so much? [cat]

      Fear of a movie I don't know when it started Until I feel conscious Until it bites my flesh Until its venom penetrates my veins and seeps through my body I start to tremble I don't know if it's the heart, the veins or the empty stomach... … no gastric juice, bile, pancreatic juice, blood, only burning venom that “tremors” I have all kinds of colors, all kinds of tiny, dense flavors in my body It’s still spewing red letters and spewing hypnotic rituals I’m sitting on pins and needles...

      a historical question

        A film about Danton and Robespierre, a historical topic that even today's French can argue about. It was actually shot by a Polish director, which shows the pride and talent of Andrzej Wajda.
        Dandong loves money, food, and beauty, but he loves democracy and freedom more. Robespierre lives a simple life, and his private life is absolutely beyond reproach. But he was obsessed with power to an unstoppable level. In the end, like all dictators in the world, he obsessively believed that...

      In the Name of Freedom——Viewing French Culture from the Movie "Dandong"

      Eh... Another article to deal with the homework of the elective course... It's really enough to count the number of words... Let's take a look at it, teacher... It's good to pass. I hope it's not too cold...



          Freedom seems to be a word that goes deep into the bones of the French. Since more than 200 years ago, when freedom awakened in the depths of the French people's hearts and cried out for "natural rights", the fascination with freedom and the feeling of cherishing...

      When I watched it, I clearly felt that Wajda was borrowing the ancient French metaphor for the present of Poland. But after watching many Polish films, there are always familiar faces acting in French history. (There is a saying that Linda's sickly saint Just is so gorgeous that I am overwhelmed...) The color matching, the costumes and the soundtrack that seems to be "thousands of ghosts cry" are all excellent. The painter found a real painter to play, and always felt that this role brought...

      2017.11.26 Rewatch. The Jacobin's blue (Robespierre) white (horror) red (Dandong), and finally the little boy comes back to life in the blood-red velvet of the same color as Dandong, an extremely powerful and perfect political thriller. Luo doesn't believe that the people are justified, and Dandong's desire to stop the bloodshed is also justified, but why did both of them die in the end? Because they are two people. Two people have politics. Politics has nothing to do with justice. The details a

      It was only last year that I became aware of meritocracy, and felt that democracy was indeed inefficient. Because most people face a question when they choose the path of a happy life, "What is happiness?". The road is tortuous, but it must be bright. Human nature can be counted on, and Hao Jingfang is a good example. Freedom to lead people, sometimes people's primary need is not freedom, but it must be the...

      3.5 When the court confronted, there was tension in the dialogue. At other times, the revolutionary court refused to allow reporters to enter the court record to speak, and the defendant was strictly prohibited from speaking. Dandong Partner A: This is a political trial. Politics has nothing to do with justice. B: I don't want to die, I have the right to live! A: People have the right to live only when they can maintain their power. At the end, Robespierre woke up: the revolution went in the...

      Does the mirror of the revolutionary period reflect the ideals of revolutionaries or the reality of revolutionaries? , Dandong's failure is also Robespierre's failure. I grew up too late, but from the revolution of the Celestial Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, we can see that the failure of revolution is the failure of human beings....

    The film reproduces the real state of society after the victory of La Révolution Française. Georges Jacques Danton, a historical figure who petitioned for the French people in distress, was executed by the authorities instead. Director Andrzej Wajda took this to pin his worries on his motherland, The Republic of Poland, because The Republic of Poland was still in poverty and without freedom after World War II, and the people's wishes...
