      Quills--Desire Is Charming And Evil

      In daily interactions, we always use justice to disguise evil and use other people's faults to cover up our own shortcomings. The most disgusting thing is to be in the presence of others' superiority. How can this be avoided? Go where you are supposed to go, do what you are supposed to do, and socialize with people from your country. The film's ending pushes the film to the extreme. The priest can have another destiny between the light and the prison. The same psychiatrist, why no treatment?...

      People who can't face their desires will not be able to be truly moral

      This movie, this writer, is very alternative, quite heavy taste, pornography and violence throughout. I was so entangled in watching it that I didn't want to watch it any more times, but I finally insisted on watching it. In fact, this is a movie that uses pornography as a carrier and conveys a rich and profound content, which is worth thinking about.
          Most of the writers who were detained in mental hospitals described the devilish side of human nature, which was full of violence and...

      "The Quill" film review

      In the history of human development, the boundary between "sex" and "morality" is a hot topic. Sex is the instinct of all people, whether it is between the opposite sex or the same sex, it is now recognized. What is the difference between sex and morality? Is it right or wrong to be the leader of all evils? Can two people who are in love have sex before they violate morality? Seemingly moral relationships are not deceitful.
          The film "Quil" tells the life of a French writer full of...

      Don't let your independent judgment be clouded by the popularity of a book

      The priest has a secret affection for the washerwoman. Do we have to say that religion is hypocritical? Only by restraining emotions can one be qualified for the priesthood. This is a profession. Who can rule that clergy cannot masturbate.
      When a writer's work has an instigating effect, then his work must be dangerous, especially for those who are not mentally sound, and should stay away from the "source of fire". Psychopaths are a fragile and sensitive group. They already need to rely on...

      small sense

      The film is enough to have a seductive power, which makes people imagine, and can pull out an evil thing in oneself...
      God has given us two magic weapons: good and evil, in a certain situation Whether good is greater than evil, or evil is greater than good, actually always depends on the outside world. Sade in the film is the temptation of the outside world, but this temptation is his own, given to him by God, and ultimately leads to God also giving him. The unbelievable shadow also did...

      The combination of virtual and real at the opening guillotine is very ingenious. Thad's psychopathic look is as good as it gets. I write of the right and eternal truth, ban together the humankind the whole world over. We eat, we shit, we...

      It's really not used to look at Rush when he was young, or at least not as old as he was. Erotic novelists are not precious anymore, and a lot of them are caught on the...

      A great biopic, interspersed with multiple stories from the beginning to the end, the marquis who is both good and evil, the laundress at the bottom of the society, the priest who broke down at the end, and the hypocritical doctor, the characters are also very full and interesting, 4 stars...

      C+ / [4th GFFF] Unlike ordinary biographical films, this film does not blindly focus on the main character Sade, but describes the relationship between three people including the priest and Medellin, thus representing three powers respectively. Identity, and the corresponding three symbols of writing desire, abstinence, and the source of desire, and the film insists on discussing not only the writing and dissemination of ideology and culture that are oppressed by the authorities, but more about...

      [85] There are not many characters, but the plot is carefully crafted. Joaquin's looks and acting skills are amazing. The set doesn't need to be fancy to create a gothic vibe. In short, the whole film is full of British unique cold and romantic...

    Movie plot

    France in 1807. A talented writer, the Marquis de Thad ( Geoffrey Rush ) , was notorious for the large number of sexual love festivals in his novels, and was regarded as an alien by the ruler Napoleon at the time. "Doctor" Loire Kolaby ( Maurice Joseph Micklewhite ) monitors treatment. THAAD did not change his creative style as a result. On the contrary, the pressure of public opinion and power forced him to become more persistent, as...

    Evaluation action

    As a biographical film, the film truly records a period of history two hundred years ago. The film is not expensive and does not have too many large scenes, but it has done a lot of detail description. The film not only portrays Thaad, an outstanding writer, but also tells people that they should clearly understand the traditional system and treat social development objectively, otherwise it will let ignorance occupy people's hearts....
