      This house has no locks and no railings, but it's like a prison

      Four priests and a nun live in a house. They live a regular life. They pray and sing songs every day. In their spare time, they train an Italian greyhound to participate in races in the town. One day a new priest came to live here for a long time, and the peace of life was broken. A young man came to the house and loudly accused the new priest of molesting him, and the priest committed suicide in front of the house. The Vatican's Holy See sent an investigator to investigate the suicide....

      dark side of light

      "Focus" and "Club of Priests" are both 2015 films. Although "Club of Priests" is weaker than "Focus" in terms of box office and momentum, I still think "Club of Priests" is better than "Spotlight" Better, it could even be said, more cautionary.

      It can be said that the story of "Focus" focuses on the process of a group of journalists persevering in exposing the church based on conscience. Regarding the internal problems of the Catholic Church, it is only the tip of the iceberg of...

      The Atonement Club: No Atonement, Only Sin

      (Written by Zhi Ning on May 31, 2016)
          Pablo Larrain, who directed the film "Chile Says No", directed this "El club". Compared with the former, he personally prefers the latter. The latter is also a "Focus" presented in another way of expression, as some people say, and it covers a wider range of content than "Focus", while "Focus" is vertical in terms of Go deeper, not to mention that the styles of the two films are not very comparable.
          Another translation of the film is...

      dark and light

      8.2 points.
          The film uses a classic genre film structure: starting from the murder case, investigating the past of five people, and decomposing their goodness from sin; but after introducing the fuse of the previous crime, tragedy happened, and the good became evil. The transaction at the end seems to be a compromise behind the scenes.

          But in fact, the film has a very high intention. It was mentioned at the beginning that "God saw the light as good, so he separated the...

      "Father's Club"

      The video and soundtrack are very outstanding, the character settings are not flat, and the seemingly simple relationship is also intertwined with interesting, excellent script creation.
       
      Pablo Larrain has given up on the overuse of politics in this film, which is the part I really like.
       
      The pain of reality under the audio and video is not only not divided into black and white, but provides a very unique inclusive solution, and finally even turns into a deep black humor....

      At the beginning of the first chapter, a fierce man came, standing outside the "house" of the priests, talking loudly about how a priest in the room sexually assaulted him when he was a child, the details were flying, the priest came out and faced his own head. Guns, other priests will not say, fierce. ....

      The dark history of the priests' club members on the gray Chilean coast without the sun, religious distortions and poisoned souls meet under one roof, absurd irony, the smile of the Virgin of the nun is the most permeable....

      The cold wind of the low-saturation picture looks like a Nordic film, but the shooting country is Chile in South America. Criticizing the corrupt things that priests sexually assaulted, the painting style is too cold, so it gives people a sense of itchiness. Nor is there enough tension in questioning the...

      Laraine's visual style in this movie deserves to be improved, but the setting and reversal of the story are still quite brilliant. The ending honestly makes me a little puzzled. The decisions made by some characters seem to be the same as the motives they made a few minutes ago. Quite the opposite, or maybe I underestimated the drive for redemption in the...
