      "Gathering Courage in Adversity"

      What does despair mean?

      Lack of substance;
      loss of love;
      loss of conscience.


      1. Money

      is a must to survive; if you

      can’t sell the child, you are chased and beaten by the gang;

      2. Love (key prop: baby carriage)

      is the support of life, Sonia, sold the child and lost Sonia’s love;

      Redemption 1: Redeem the child;

      3. Conscience (Key prop: motorcycle)

      Abandoning accomplices;

      Redemption...

      Every man is a childish child

      The child is both the main thread and the inducement—that baby is also saying that the man is a child who loves to make mistakes.

      Have you ever seen such an innocent thief? Oh, I think of Fred from Subway.

      "I thought we'd just have another one."
      It's like saying "Sonia, Sonia, we're playing house."

      "Sonia, Sonia, I was wrong, sorry."

      Finally, she bought him Coffee, holding his hand, watching him cry, and then crying myself, I think of my mom....

      Messy hair in the wind

      "The Child" by the Darney Brothers, another work that reveals the characters at the bottom, how can we not say something about it? Danet's focus on the under-the-radar continues, reaching new heights in this film.

      The plot alone is not enough to conquer the audience, nor is it enough to win the Palme d'Or, so why did it win this award? I think it was the emotions of the people revealed in the film that hit the judges, and also hit us who can feel it carefully. The film uses a...

      child child

      This is the movie I saw in the book bar before. It was also the first film I watched the Darney Brothers, and after watching it, I looked for Darney's films in various ways. I set up a folder in the computer called Darney Brothers.
          What I'm interested in is whether it's easier for me to get excited about the movies made by directors who make documentaries, such as Kieslowski.
          Let me work hard for ten years, what will I do. I've been thinking about it, I hope it's not even ten...

      The quality of Dane is indeed very stable, but this kind of film won the Palme d'Or, I always feel that it is very insignificant, and then I glanced at the main competition of that year, okay, okay. ....

      The style of dogma95 is still used today. Made me miss the early Russ so much. The emotional penetration in the realistic style is very delicate. The first half is the love of two children, and the girl suddenly grows up, how to face an immature boy. The male protagonist and the child were tortured to death when they went into the water. The ending is a bit...

    Evaluation action

    "The Child" does not explain any cause and effect, there is no complicated psychological entanglement, it just shows the process directly. The most complex and critical plot variations are handled in a very understated way. The artistic style of the film has gradually changed compared with the previous Darney Brothers films. The editing frequency has slowed down a lot, and the shots are no longer shaken for no reason. Although there...
