      Is it just "the villain has the ambition"?

      To lilac:
        I can't agree with the view that "the whole story is a story that tells a villain's success". In fact, if it were just such a story, it would be impossible for the film to achieve such a big achievement.
        
        The Sarin Village Witch incident is a major humiliating incident in American history, and there are still some scholars studying this matter to this day. A map of the restored village at the time can even be found online.

      Shocked! The torture of humanity!

      If the original English name of "The Crucible" is literally translated as "Severe Test", it seems more in line with the plot and film style. The current translation of the name "Passion Years" is really easy to think of nostalgic inspirational films.

      I have seen the drama "The Witch of Salem", which is based on the original American book by Arthur Miller, directed by Wang Xiaoying and starring Zhang Qiuge, and it was very shocking. This movie is also adapted from Arthur Miller's "The...

      "The Age of Passion": Group disaster caused by love and jealousy

      (Written by Zhi Ning on May 5, 2009)
         If you are an audience with a sense of justice, you may feel a little bit in your heart when watching this film that deceives the public and finally obliterates integrity, resulting in 19 innocent people being wronged and tortured. You are angry, but you don’t have to be too entangled. In human history, such incidents are not uncommon. Even in the current era of prosperous technology and prosperous culture, there will occasionally be one or two...

      black and white

      Just finished watching "The Crucible". I don't want to say everything with tears anymore.

             Why is the atonement of the innocent soul a victim of feudal superstition? !
      What kind of damn superstition is this belief? Can I say I hate Abby, but if I have a conscience, think about who is not afraid of death? ! Abby and those women who I want to scold loudly have to live too! ! So in that era of feudal superstition, he put his own capital crime on others! They are children, they...

      God is died.

      I am an atheist.

        And you, priest. You live in this world in order to convey the will of God... if have god, show me. You have dedicated your whole life to god but you have never seen him, so it seems that you are the same as me, and God is right Everyone is equal.
        Every time I watch a movie related to religious persecution, I’m very confused. I’m going to learn The crucible in English art next week. It’s still very difficult to understand why the Chinese translation is called...

      The four stars are basically from the original work and the actors. It can only be seen as a stage play. Daniel Day-Lewis is also very dramatic. The first hour and a half of the scene is fine, and of course this is also the problem with the original book: it took more than an hour to accuse the collective and religious fanaticism, but at the end, John, who has been paving the way for rebellion against religion, actually said that he was the real one. Believing in God is willing to die, and the...

      "Don't cry! This is the moment of glory, sink them with a heart of iron!" Arthur Miller's book is impeccable, Winona is stunning, the madness in the forest, the evil hidden under the pale face, The desperation when John shouted "God is dead", she was a pity later... DDL is naturally amazing, Joan Allen's performance was an unexpected surprise, the calm and relief of the last scene brought tears to my...

      Very well, it is self-evident how effective Miller is to adapt the script himself. The director is very neat and the soundtrack is excellent. Joan Allen's Elizabeth and Paul Scofield's Danforth are fantastic. This Hale doesn't like it, DDL doesn't feel it, but he plays it well. The young Winona Yanmei is relatively dull in acting, but the role of Abigail itself is very nauseating. The ending is...

    Evaluation action

    "The Crucible" is a serious and atmospheric work of the times, it occasionally attracts the attention of the audience. Director Nicholas Hytner's rhetorical pace and road film techniques have turned the film's story into a two-pronged moral plot. The role played by Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis is a model of smoldering masculinity, not a person who fights against a fierce inner demon, so there is not much room for expression of...
