      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...

    Movie quotes

    • Erzebet Bathory: God, you have abandoned me. In war hundreds are killed and tortured and they are left there to rot and feed the vultures. And yet, we glorify our warriors. We give them laurel wreaths and honors. But all I get is torment, I cannot be humiliated this way. Give me an illness that will kill me fast. I cannot do it myself, I must go to heaven. Amen.

    • Erzebet Bathory: God, perhaps you are trying my faith. Perhaps you are punishing me because I loved him more than I love you. Man has created God in his image which gives him dominance over everything else. Birds, lions, trees and women. I wish I had been born a man, I would have killed thousands in battle, taken over countries, burned witches - I would have been a hero. That is it, you're nothing but a myth. The Greeks created gods for everything because they could not figure out why the sea, why love, why death. Now we have created you to appease and feed our fears and ignorance. 'Cause we have so many questions and so few answers. I have used you in prayers to forgive myself for my horrors and sins. A proper burial of feeding the wolves is the same thing. Holy water is just dirty water. Why am I so scared to die? Because I do not believe in you or the eternity of the soul. When I die I shall rot and nothing will be left of me. Love is the dagger that stabbed me in the back. If you are not a myth, absolve me of my sins and give me blood to keep me young. I thank you, my Lord.

      Istvan Thurzo: [bitterly] You have no rights to keep me in this room.

      Gyorgy Thurzo: You disobeyed me and met with her again.
