      A few points about the film

      1. Nobel later obviously realized his mistake and went back and told his mother, but his mother didn't want him to admit it, and then went to use the money to calm things down. Will this practice cause the boy's future personality problems? It can also be positively understood in this way: he has already felt the seriousness of the matter from this incident, and he will not commit it again later. Or if he had read the latest news from the newspaper and learned the story of the murderer, would...

      Robert Bresson's "Money" Film

      Review 2/10/2010 10:33:56 PM Without


      Money , People Will Die: The actors in the film are all living in the world like zombies.

      In the end, it also points to death. It has been foreshadowed from the beginning. Robert Bresson style.

      Money is the clothes of reality, wrapping the naked heart. Such a heart is the heart of a human being, encased in desire and soul. The material base determines the superstructure, says the...

      money

      Going to the school theater at night to revisit Bresson's film "Money" (L'argent, 1983) - the last time I saw it at the "Bresson Film Festival" at the China Film Archive, the level of depression is reminiscent of Chabrol La cérémonie (1995). The middle-class teenagers started by deceiving people with counterfeit banknotes, and the simple people at the bottom became victims and culprits, deceived and cruelly treated, and revenge in cruel ways.

      Bresson is good at creating off-painting...

      A counterfeit 500 franc note flaps its wings, destroying the world with nothingness and despair. Under the inducement of money, the chain of deception is opened, conscience is lost in lies, love and family cannot restore people’s hearts, courts are obsessed with crime facts and ignore the root cause of conflict between human nature and society, prisons can not assume the function of indoctrination, the sacred voice of the church and the In their prayers, they only thought about escape and...

      The originally peaceful life of the family of three was shattered by money, and the male protagonist, who lost confidence in life, finally set out on the road of no return. The male protagonist asked the old woman, you are being squeezed by your family, and you continue to be like this, what do you expect? The old woman replied "I didn't expect anything", and she lived her peaceful life day by day. Life is not like that. It's a pity that the old woman's kindness and incompetence failed to...

      When encountering the police on the road, under the mistreatment of her father, in the face of the sins that Yvon had stated and the sins that were about to be carried out on her, the woman remained silent, she almost did not respond. In her almost blank gaze I seemed to see Battha again. The few interactions between the woman and Yvon in the film attract me the most, especially when Yvon picks fruit from a nearby tree to share with the woman when she collects her clothes. In that scene, his...

      Regularity, harmony and unity, this kind of shooting method is very useful for Tolstoy, or those literary themes of realism. It has the significance of its era and will also bring thinking. In this era, if you copy such works, you will be It will look very sci-fi. In the big aspects, the proportions should be properly controlled. The most important thing for the director is to understand the text thoroughly, instead of pursuing other things first. Everything else is based on this text. The...
