Assuming to understand from an openness perspective?

Similar to this type of film, to be honest, I don’t particularly understand it. It is a mixture of religion, culture, and the director’s consciousness world, but as an open film art, it actually has multiple interpretations! However, I tend to go in two directions: is it a journey of seeking Taoism, a journey of belonging to belief, or a journey of cult assimilation that loses the personality of the master and self and occupies a magpie's nest?

We usually talk about religious...

Portuguese director obsessed with "mutation"

Pasolini-esque mythological fables mixed with obscure religious metaphors. Audiences who are familiar with the Portuguese director will not be unfamiliar with the theme of this film. The variation of identity and gender is the director's specialty, which has been touched in his debut films "The Phantom" and "Calling Love in the Heart of the Cemetery". And this new film is about a man's mutation experience: from atheist to convert, homosexual awakening, and even physical changes, from Fernando...

ceremony to watch

The Ornithologist is undoubtedly a film with a strong religious overtone. The male protagonist Fernando first entered the forest as an unbelieving bird watcher, and then encountered two Chinese girls who went to worship at Santiago de Compostela Cathedral but got lost. During the conversation, Fernando revealed that he had no faith and did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he was regarded as "evil" and was bound by the two believers at night. Fernando then fled the two believers, met Jesus,...

When I had a headache, I looked for it and read it. After reading it, I had a headache. After I added some religious knowledge, I could barely understand it. However, like a line that says "there are some things we shouldn't try to understand", it really won my heart anyway. I can't understand.. Telescope-style pictures, various transformations and movements of birds, photography pictures and music are full of ritual...

The great thing about this movie is that I still think about the plot and meaning for several days after watching it, and I will write this review after I think it through. In addition, I really like the few shots from the bird's...
