      #"The Martyr"?

      The word martyr is also translated as deadly saint, martyr, from the Greek martys (originally meaning witness, witness). In Acts 22:20 and Revelation 2:13, it is further extended that all those who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the resurrected Savior and who bear witness to this faith and suffer and martyr are called martyrs.

      The Martyrs: The Source of All Good

      "The Martyr": The Origin of All Goodness
      This is a movie that I don't recommend to everyone, because it is too violent and bloody, and it is also too dark and mysterious; this is another movie that I can't put down. Watched the movie again a year later. I use this to explore the subtleties hidden in the depths of the human soul, and thus to know the evil and good, barbarism and civilization, suffering and belief in this world.

      The movie starts with a girl who escaped from the...

      The three-piece construction lends a ripped feel, but also a great cult vibe.

      The whole film is divided into three structures, and it is these three structures that make me feel a certain sense of tearing and absurdity. The first paragraph of the film tells of Lucy escaping from her cell, entering an orphanage, meeting Anna, and seeing a naked and scarred woman terrorizing and chasing her.

      As soon as the camera turns to the second paragraph, this is a family of four. The film takes some time to show the relationship between the family of four, the...

      Religion is the biggest scam

      Those who need to rely on people to prove their existence, those who need to rely on people's preaching to expand their influence, and those who need to rely on punishment for being unsettled or heresy to prove their religious beliefs are all false. There is a saying in the Diamond Sutra that says, "All appearances are illusory. If you see appearances that are not appearances, you will see the Tathagata." Everyone has their own understanding of this sentence. My understanding is to see the...

      strange idea

      When I saw that the old lady was obsessively explaining the reason to Anna, she was full of anger... It was a drain on the bottom of the pot. Somehow there is. Maybe there are many people in this world who have strange ideas, but no one helps them to realize them, so an idea is an idea, and there is no harm. Here, it happens because of the support of the rich and powerful, along with a group of "workers". So, I think the most hateful are actually those "workers". They can be said to be...

      Thought it was a horror movie but turned out to be a religious movie? If you want to know the world after death, just die yourself, why catch the little girls to abuse them, and watch them with anger... This can be considered to achieve the purpose of the...

    Movie plot

    Lucy (Milanie Jeanpanomi) was kidnapped by a mysterious organization in her childhood. During the dark years of that year, she was tortured. In the end, she took advantage of the guards not paying attention to escape, and met a new friend Anna (MorjanaElAlaoui) in the orphanage . However, Lucy's mind was severely traumatized, and she could often see a naked and scarred horror woman threatening and hunting her down. Lucy spent her...

    Evaluation action

    The film director Laugier breaks away from the pattern of torture movies and turns the scene of the torture into a means of telling stories. The two-way correspondence between the perpetrator and the victim’s psychology, and the extreme change in the protagonist’s expectation of psychology, make the film a pure slaughter. Movies are very different, and this seemingly ending plot has developed another layer of suspenseful clever...

    • Mademoiselle: Martyrs are exceptional people. They survive pain, they survive total deprivation. They bear all the sins of the earth. They give themselves up. They transcend themselves... they are transfigured.

    • Anna: I miss you.
