      Sister Flower of Brothel

      When the beautiful folk song sounded at the beginning of the movie, who would have thought that the Irish were also creating such a tragedy at the same time?
          The story of the film "Sister Flowers in the Brothel" took place in the 1960s. In our impression, it was an era when the wave of revolution and rebellion swept the world: the hippie movement in the United States was in full swing, Godard and Truffaut in France took to the streets, and the Beatles in Britain were creating a "beatie...

      You are not the man of God

      After watching this film, I was deeply moved. I want to write something but I don’t know how to start.
       
      Among the three girls, Margaret is more rational, Bernadette is wild, and Rose is gentle.
       
      Margaret believed she could go out, and she was watching everything calmly. That's why she didn't run away when she had a chance. She slightly punished the beast with good looks, and finally when her brother picked her up, he rationally forced the mother to give in and make way for...

      "Madeleine's Fallen Girl": It's not a crime of a door

      Original address: http://www.qh505.com/blog/post/3507.html

      a door that blocks the world inside and life outside; a door that closes all hopes and turns into despair; a door The door allows women to engrave the "guilt" brand on their heads and die of old age...Who enters this door and becomes a degenerate girl? Who can break through the imprisonment and usher in his own life? A door is not an unbreakable barrier, or an insurmountable abyss, or a hell that will never see the sun...

      Madeleine Fallen Maiden

      The social background of the film is too unfamiliar, but it still makes me feel something tickling, and it feels weird and unreasonable. I have no religious beliefs, but I have been touched by the piety of believers. I have always believed that faith is the sacrament of restraining emotions, which is succumbing to rational contemplation. Obviously I misunderstood the meaning of faith. If hypocrisy is dressed in a clean black robe, it will become as amiable as God, at least in the hearts of some...

      The Magdalene Sisters

      The Magdalene Sisters
            “The Magdalene Sisters” is a thoroughly mind-provoking film about 3 young women who, under tragic circumstances, are sent to the asylum as they are considered the “fallen” women in 1964. The asylum is run like prisons and young girls are forced to do workhouse laundry and hard labor. There is another woman named Crispina, who is more vulnerable and tragic because she has mental problem. She experiences something horrific and does not have the mental or emotional...

      In the context of religion, it has the immediate visual sense of "Sodom". The close-ups of the goddaughters are effective at stirring up hatred in the audience, but they don't end as well as "If". Insufficient explanation of the circumstances surrounding such behavior in the church will make people puzzled about the motives of the three girls' families to send them...

      The social and historical value of the film is greater than the value of the film itself; I remember that there was a story about burning so-called witches somewhere in India in the news last month. Even in a "modern" society, ignorance is not far from life. , the ghost of its variant version is always...

    Movie plot

    The 1960s was an era of unprecedented freedom and openness, but the numerous movements and thoughts did not seem to affect a Madeleine foster home in the suburbs of Dublin. This asylum institution strictly controlled by a group of nuns is simply those regarded by society as " The hell of the “hell of the alien” young girls. At a family wedding, Margaret was raped by her cousin. She told her friends painfully about the incident, the...

    Evaluation action

    "The Magdalene Sisters" gave the theocracy a resounding slap. The revelation of these inhumane dark inside stories is of scorching intensity, and various abusive behaviors are enough to arouse moral anger. All Peter Mullan had to do was let the material speak for itself. His ability to grasp the narrative rhythm has been significantly improved, and he pays special attention to the details of the image, and has achieved a balance...
