      When Humans Think, God Laughs - An Ambiguous Assumption

      "The truth has been sealed behind the great walls and time will soon bury it all."
      These are the words at the end of the countess, where the protagonist throws a question about the world at the end, "there is nothing that you can be certain of" , but history is not written that way. History gives a clear definition of each event, either, justice, evil, love, hate, everything is given a clear, unambiguous explanation, as if there is a lord high above creating Or when these events were...

      Love and death, the foreshadowing of echoing from beginning to end, wonderful!

      In the moment of love (after passion, to be precise), the countess lies in the arms of her lover, who says in a whim:

      "Isn't it weird to think that a lot of people are dying in wars when we're lying together and enjoying each other."

      When the countess was about to step into the sealed castle to die, the countess said to the judge (actually to her lover):

      "Isn't it strange to think so, when I was sentenced here, how many lovers were in each other's warm...

      Countess

      Although the ups and downs of the movie's plot are not big, the advantage of this movie is that it is based on real events! The prototype of the heroine is called Elizabeth, and she has been looking for a way to maintain her youth for her young lover. She had the girls bled and bathed in the blood, or simply drank it. In addition, this film is not the first film to bring this story to the screen. In 1971, the British filmed a horror film "Countess Dracula", which is based on this story. The...

      Love was the dagger that stabbed me in the back

      When Elizabeth Bathory died sadly in the castle where she was imprisoned, the beauty, power, wealth, and love of the past had long since left her. History is only written by the victors. Time can't wait to bury everything.
        
      Before being claustrophobic, the Countess said with a smile that this bloody story about her must have been around for a long time. After she finished speaking, she gave Ai Lang a gentle last look, and walked towards the final coffin without looking back....

      The bloody pictures are extremely realistic. The atmosphere is depressing, blood-dizzy and dizzy. The countess in the same story of the three Lost Worlds is amazing as soon as she appears. But the inner spiritual activity of Julie Delpy's romance is very essence. The shadows of childhood are buried The seeds that were planted, the main line of the loss of personality caused by love tragedy. It is better to keep the youth forever than to keep the innocence. Although the crime is monstrous, but...

    • Erzebet Bathory: Time has no respect for beauty.

    • Gyorgy Thurzo: Love is a myth, to keep the minds of young peasants and virgins occupied with a dream.
