      child's role

      Voyeur, liar, listener, secrecy. A lonely child's tragedy over an admirer's private affair unintentionally plays multiple roles: he snoops, when he wants to know the meaning of "secret"; he lies, when he is persecuted by 'disgusting' people Or when he wants to hold on to the one he loves; he listens, when he stumbles into the forbidden land of marriage; he keeps secrets, when he complies and keeps his mouth shut. He also wanted to act as the protector of adults, defending his long-time...

      the power of lies

      When we have secrets in our hearts, it means that we have the possibility to create lies. The movie "The Fallen Idol" revolves around such an unavoidable question. Although it is a story of three or four people, it does not seem to be complicated, but because there are ignorant children, lying men, lying women, and police officers who keep asking questions, the story is no longer simple, but enriched. This film is not an obscure sermon, but a taste of the extraordinary dilemma, but also the...

      Today we lied

      Today we lie about

      Reed Carol's 1948 work The Fallen Idol, CC Choice 357.

      In terms of time, this is a distant era. Our great motherland is in full swing with the people's choice. Post-war Britain has produced such intriguing works even in contemporary times. I have always been amazed at the restoration technology of CC. When watching this great movie, it seems that this scene is as clear as it was filmed just yesterday. The sky and the earth are so thorough. The heart...

      The little boy in [Fallen Idol] never seems to do the wrong thing. Seeing things but being taught to keep secrets, wanting to keep secrets but being seen through easily, when telling the truth but making up some insincere lies, telling the truth but finding that no one is listening. well! Being a child is so hard! And this film noir, which is as precise as a Swiss watch, throws us a moral conundrum that is difficult for adults to...
