      Why is she a miracle?

      The picture is clean and tidy but has a documentary tone, which adds a bit of realism. In my opinion, the film is talking about religion in a veiled way, about healing.

      Why is the heroine and no one else healed? The heroine did not seem very pious. She frankly expressed her jealousy, indifference and resentment in front of the priest. Most of the reasons for her pilgrimage were to hope that her body would be healed and she longed for miracles. Lei is a volunteer who takes care of her....

      Faith and Doubt

      I don't believe that Jessica, an atheist director, would pay tribute to religion and even theology with a painstaking film. The most she is interested in discussing is the hustle and bustle of all living beings who are chasing miracles in front of the shrine, that is, spirit and non-existence. spirit.

      I even suspect that she has never even had this level of motivation. It is more like discussing how a typical modern tourism ecology can coexist in a more harmonious and friendly way with...

      Isn't theology or something not suitable for us...

      I have seen two films about theology and religion. After watching them, I feel so depressing... Could it be that the Chinese people don't understand the mystery... (tears~)
      I saw this film with a good score, so I ran away I watched it down, and I finished it patiently (no fast forward~), and it was very heart-wrenching...

      At first, I thought Lourdes had a very religious atmosphere. The music in the church is full of pilgrims, statues of the Virgin Mary, and caring and caring...

      The mysterious style is especially suitable for this special religious theme

      Austrian female director Jessica Hausne has a limited number of works. Since her debut in 2001, only five feature films have been released. As a direct member of Cannes, he has been shortlisted for four times in the official unit. This year's "Little Joe" was shortlisted for the main competition for the first time, and won the Best Actress Award for the actress in the play. Her work is mixed in style, ranging from horror and thriller genres, to classical drama adaptations, and even...

      If anyone says this movie is about religion, he doesn't understand

      There is an ancient Chinese saying that "the world is the ruler."

      I'll change it and add a punctuation mark:

      "God is the ruler?"

      This is a theme of the movie. It means whether God is fair.

      There is another theme, and an ancient Chinese saying can’t be more apt: the plot of

      “pampering and humiliation”

      is that the patient and the volunteer are caught in a love competition (not necessarily the same object, for example, she has more...

      How sad it is to choose to believe in miracles in order to pursue miracles, but the saddest thing is how long it takes to say "if it doesn't last, then it wasn't a real miracle" is ridiculous. The Holy Land of Lourdes itself is questionable. False beliefs are too...

    Evaluation action

    "Lourdes" is a wonderful film that shows the director's unwavering ambition. While the story of the pilgrimage to the French Catholic holy site of Lourdes is highly regarded for its religious involvement, Hausner neither dismisses nor humbles the subject. No matter in terms of tone, slow-paced narration or the handling of the general direction, the film is more inclined to art films. The film begins slowly and has a strong sense of...
