      I can save all those who are self-improving in the end

      You are approaching again, the precarious figure,
        just like at the beginning, appeared before my confused eyes.
        This time, I will try to catch you?
        That daring delusion, I'm still infatuated with it?
        Well, let you scramble, you push me to embrace; let you rush
        out of the mist, surging around me!
        With your arrival, the air is filled with spiritual atmosphere,
        the blood of youth, and I am excited again.
        You have brought joyous scenes of...

      Movie Review: Faust

      6 points. The game between God and the devil doesn't seem to be mentioned in the movie, but this time, the devil is too stupid, and he was killed so easily~ In fact, the original work still feels quite grand, why did it come to the director to shoot? It came out feeling so dirty and broken? The strange aspect ratio and deliberately distorted effects make it a little uncomfortable to watch, and it is generally too boring, which is really not my thing. Thinking that the "Once Upon a Time in Asia...

      Unhappy people are dangerous.

      As the finale of Sokulov's "The Essence of Power" tetralogy, Faust in this film compares favorably with three other real people who fell from the peak of power—Hitler in Molokh, Lenin in "Tarius" and Emperor Hirohito in "The Sun" was also a gambler who lost the most important thing in his life.

      Sokulov's Faust is a thinker, idea king, conspirator, daydream driven by simple natures - food, sex, greed;

      He's a sullen, power-hungry creature—

      Why can go further, but still want...

      I'm worth more.

      Based on the first part of Goethe's masterpiece Faust. However, the bet between God and the devil is omitted, making the main plot more coherent and compact; in addition, Faust was first fascinated by Margaret and then sold his soul, which made his motive for signing the contract fundamentally changed.
      There is no doubt about the literary and artistic achievements of the eloquent "Faust", but I have never been able to comprehend the essence of its thought. Some people say that this is a...

      soul movie



      Does the soul exist or not, the hopeless discussion of film and philosophy whether the soul exists or not? What does it look like when it is out of the flesh? What can it be used for?
      In recent years, two American films have attempted to explore it in a slightly serious but still pop-culture framework. "21 Grams" tells us about the weight of the soul, and "Frozen Soul" presents the soul as something the size of a jug and can be stored and rented.

      When minimalism gets into the lines, it is mocking the audience who have not seen the original book. The basic plot is difficult to grasp just by watching the movie. Sokolov is only...

      Goethe's original work, Iceland's coldness, Sokolov's lens and philosophical thinking, these elements are mixed into a work full of artistic sense. Through the anamorphic lens, we can see a distorted world. Driven by desire, human beings are willing to trade with the devil with their souls. However, when the faith is lost and the soul is no longer there, the contract with the devil can be easily torn...

    In Фауст, Alexander Sokurov conveys his thoughts on the soul in his usual poetic way. Even those who do not understand the background of the story and cannot understand Sokolov's profound philosophy will be shocked by the film's bold imagination and bold colors. From the beginning of the film, it was a toned green tone. At that time, "Фауст" was only in self-contradiction and did not walk side by side with "Devil", so the green was...
