      Does anyone have the resources for this?

      Does anyone have the resources for this, I can't find it everywhere.

      Subtitle resources are also available, I have a version without subtitles.

      Please see that the kind people here will kick me if they have the resources. (Eye in)

      I'm too hard.

      Hurt flowers

      Michelle's yearning for friendship, love and freedom ultimately did not escape the physical and mental devastation brought about by conservative dogmatic family, church, and surrounding social pressure. When the flowers are withering in the most beautiful season, who should pay for it? Hans-Schmidt was as calm and suffocating as "The Light in the Distance". Under his close observation, under the shaking camera, he inadvertently created a world where the girl's heart was tumbling and drifting...

      Self-destruction and self-salvation

      It is puzzling to classify such a movie as horror/thriller, because it has nothing to do with these two words.
              The first half is secular, and the second half is nothing.
              The film’s demarcation point is the Christmas that happens to be the midpoint. Before that, the heroine Michaela lived an ordinary life in the world. In addition to the obvious bleak tone, like every youth movie, there is a relationship with Parents’ conflicts include playing with their girlfriends and...

      Everything about this girl suffocates us (reproduced)

      Everything about this girl suffocates us.

                                Essay/Sun Mengjin

      Have you ever read the poems of the German poet Holderlin? I'm not showing off, but I read a story about a girl on the Neckar River, the hometown of Holderlin. What I saw last night, there was an unbearable peace, because a girl who had resisted epilepsy stubbornly finally chose the road of no return very peacefully.

      This remake of the film is called "Requiem" (also translated as...

      Two sides of faith-"Requiem"

      I always think that people without faith are sad. When we feel miserable, how much we need someone, a kind of strength, even if it is illusory, let us get a little comfort.
         From this perspective, Christians, Muslims, etc., are happy.
         My grandma is also happy. She believes in Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva can bless her children and grandchildren to be safe. She is a vegetarian at the annual Guanyin birthday, and she often goes to the temple when she is young, helping with things and...

      I like that the director uses a restrained and pure narrative technique to tell this divine story and tell everyone whether you believe it or not. The song of joy that sounds in the cool tones adds to the sense of...

      There is no climax in the opening fifteen minutes, and the basic events are not explained. This film can be slow. Don't watch...

    Movie plot

    In the early 1970s, a young girl named Michelle was born with a strange disease. However, medical science at the time was unable to confirm the cause. Since Michela’s symptoms are very similar to epilepsy, doctors have been treating her with epilepsy. Michelle grew up in a serious Catholic family. At the age of 21, she wanted to go to university for study and education, but her mother refused to show her face because of her illness....

    Evaluation action

    "Requiem" emphatically explores the psychology of people in the event of fluctuations in mystery, so the film is also known as another version of "The Exorcist"   . With calm language and gloomy tone, the film successfully conveys how conservative and pious spiritual power makes people crazy. But the film did not criticize religion, which can be seen from the heroine's effort to touch the cross.  . (Tencent.com, Weixi Di comment)
