      Only God Can Forgive Comments

      Cold graphics, eerie atmosphere, cool

      tones, staggering gore, and little dialogue, Nicholas

      Winding Refn takes the

      icy, gloomy style of his previous "Desperados" in this film. The upgrade adds

      more dark elements. This upgrade is particularly successful in the

      creation , but it

      is naive and hypocritical at the level of the plot, which makes the film too focus on showing

      violent beauty and ignore it the importance of the story....

      First of all, I don't like this film, maybe I don't understand what the author really wants to express.

      First of all, I don't like this film, maybe I don't understand what the author really wants to express.

      Maybe the author wants to show human nature and expose the sins of people. As the title shows, only God can forgive the sins that people commit. As human beings, we cannot forgive and bear it. The behavior of the police in the film also fully demonstrates this. One point, the police did not punish the criminals by legal means, but punished the criminals with violent lynching, just...

      It is said to be very noble and glamorous petty bourgeoisie. . . . . But I can't understand it at all!

      It is said that if this movie does not give flowers, it must be a brick, but I am a movie novice, and I don’t know anything about shrimp lighting, scene BlaBla, and the rating of the movie is entirely based on personal feelings. This movie gave me the feeling that from the beginning to the end, it was an endless entanglement and hesitation of an Oedipus complex. . . But the problem is that my brother is just a commoner, so there is no way to realize such a high-cold-capital complex. Is there...

      Slow motion is not beautiful, but the action is clean

      The movies of fighting and killing are always a bit noisy. Refn must be planning to show a static violence. Throughout, the big bosses are in a zombie state. But who let people be the BOSS, they just can't fight.

      A movie made of slow motion, which makes many people who are used to fast-paced action movies feel boring. The limited dialogue gives intermittent story clues. The ups and downs of the plot are completely completed by the audience's brain. This kind of rhythm advancement It...

      ONLY GOD FORGIVES

      A film about crime and punishment, mother and child, sex and violence. The technique of the whole film is very similar to that of Wong Kar Wai, but the difference is that the director uses many violent scenes to interpret his violent aesthetics, and there are many scenes of blood. , Haha~
             This is a relatively slow-paced movie, which may be uncomfortable for viewers who are used to watching fast-paced. But the advantage of the slow pace is that you can spend more time savoring the...

      The most anticipated work in 2013, I was not disappointed. Nicolas Winding Refn has made the stylization to the extreme, the narrative has been further weakened, and the emotions have been expressed more externally. Its personal aesthetics became more prominent, and the last half hour of the film's stamina began to strike. Absolutely polarizing movie, and I'm on the side of...

      It's very strange and difficult to define a film. Although the whole is the theme of my cold, it can't hide the fragmentation of the film. I don't understand what role Julian's fantasy plays in the plot. The sheriff's arbitrary killing and strange and strange The pretentious footwork should be a ruthless character's mother, but the tension is not enough. Conclusion This film is...

    Evaluation action

    "Only God Forgives" has the shadow of Zodulowski in the aesthetics of violence, including the performance of the Oedipus complex. But tribute is by no means a copy. Nicholas's strong personal style has formed his unique movie vocabulary. In the film, the movement of the characters and the camera is deliberately slow, and the panning and symmetrical images are used extensively. The lines are often muted. All these static and regularity...
