      Medical ethics

      Watch the full movie, or say it's bland. It's the whole process of a doctor's self-redemption, but it's just a coincidence, perhaps to suit the taste of the movie. But this is already unrealistic in some respects. It is a bit strange to ask a person with a photo, while exercising the power of a doctor.

      I am also a medical student, so the question of medical ethics should be clearly understood before starting to study medicine. However, this so-called medical ethics should not be...

      nameless girl

      The movie gives people a sense of tranquility and comfort, and it was finished quietly and without pause. Without too much modification, even the heroine's clothes have only been changed three times, and the coat is only a plaid coat, which makes people feel comfortable. The plot is not contrived, but the slowness highlights every ordinary detail, and shows the psychological dynamics of each character without reservation, which is really subtle. Seemingly unrelated people were discovered by...

      how did falisy komba die

      How did Falyssi Kangba die 1. Humans are such animals: ordinary people and ordinary people are all living beings like this, you, me, and others in life, non-moral perfection, non-perfection idealism, who is responsible and who is who? ☞The heroine. ...it seems to be the Kizang King who has been tricked by himself... 2. Normal heart: you're good at getting used to it + it's none of my business/none of...

      A question reflected in a play

      I felt pretty good, and it brought out the humanity. The plain is the most real, and the characters in the film may represent the three views and temperaments of most citizens of that country. In fact, most people are still very kind in nature, but I feel very sad for the common people in our country. Take the profession of a doctor. I feel that Chinese doctors are really messed up. No matter whether the treatment is effective or not, it seems that they have no responsibility at all. The...

      Moral Subject and Sisterhood

      One of the heroines of "Portrait of a Burning Woman", I like it. She wore a coat that would be very dirty for ordinary people to wear throughout the whole process, but she looked good no matter how she looked, because she had a strong mental subjectivity. The invitation of the Kennedy pharmaceutical company proves that the heroine is very professional, has a strong subjectivity in her career, and has a clear logic in her work. In the end, I gave up pharmaceutical companies (bourgeois...

      Barely pass. The Darney brothers are standard: a sense of record, a close-up view of people, the people at the bottom, and moral self-redemption. This story has to be told directly. It is the process of the female doctor looking for the identity of the unnamed black girl who was killed. It is to cure the heart disease of herself and others, and it is indeed cured. But on the other hand, the female protagonist keeps asking everyone in the midst of threats and rejection. It is a symptom of Notre...

      Waterloo by the Darney brothers. Mobile phones have become the key props to promote the development of the plot, and the characters have been reduced to empty symbols, just like the doctor who "diagnosed the diseases of the times and society", he didn't even need to wear uniforms. The heroine's history, psychological motives, and behavior are all very unreliable and unreal, not to mention that the Dane brothers have for the first time abandoned the perspective of marginal characters at the...

      The murders that everyone has no direct responsibility for and that happen because of everyone, the rejection and the identity of a doctor at the center of the whirlpool are the perfect settings to metaphorize the real political and social environment. Seeing sentient beings through the doctor's eyes and visits/visits, keeping a distance and always intervening. There are wounds opened, there are anxiety, and the disease becomes a simile. It's just that the texture analysis is too solid, there...

    Evaluation action

    The film is still fairly restrained narrative style. From the beginning to the end credits, the whole film has no emotional soundtrack. The heroine Jenny's thinking, dialogue and actions are straight-line, simple and straightforward, and clear at a glance. The filming closely follows the characters so that the center of the whole film is concentrated on Adèle Haenel's performance. The film as a whole lacks some expressiveness and...

    Movie quotes

    • Julien: When I saw that kid having his fit, shaking all over... I saw myself when my dad hit me. All I got from him was beatings. I wanted to be a doctor to treat him or to treat myself, I don't know. Or to be a better doctor than ours who thought I bruised myself playing.
