      interesting

      The number of words in the short comment is not enough to write, 囧!

      Although I don't understand it, I still find it interesting. I don't know if it's because of enough sleep or because of the story, but I didn't feel sleepy. As a suspense film, unlike the usual loud or eerie mystery, the tone of the narrative is really calm and unhurried. It's as if he's talking about the trivial things around you that you talk about after dinner. The opening and closing credits are like the whole...

      Jane says women's living space

      There are many repressed dogmas and absurd logic, and I only choose the ones that touch the deepest. Contempt and oppression of women: the doctor insults his lover because he is ugly, smelly, and undignified because he has found his daughter as a venting substitute; the baron is rude, domineering, and suspicious of his wife because his wife can't stand his indifference, There is no ideal to leave; the pastor publicly corporally punished his daughter, just because the daughter did not let the...

      The Resistance Factor and Dictatorial Consensus in the Flesh

      Black-and-white images and the suffering of faith are reminiscent of Bresson's Diary of a Country Priest. Although it has the blessing of the Palme d'Or, it is hardly the best Haneke. Perhaps this is the most ambitious and the most ingenious. I feel that this Palme d'Or is a tribute to all Haneke's previous works. A recognition of artistic exploration.

      All the connotations and intentions of this film are looming under the dull images. The camera accurately captured all the faces, but...

      White Ribbon: A Typical Depressive German Film

      This country, which has made too many political reflection films and war reflection films, has one thing in common: depression. I still remember that when I was in college, Teacher Sixiu played "The Wave" in class, and my friends were unhappy that day after watching it, and so did I. Another example is "Our Fathers" and the popular German drama "Darkness" some time ago. Anyone who has watched it knows the depression and depression, and "White Ribbon" is another masterpiece of German...

      The first Haneke work I saw. Calm and restrained, there is still a hint of coolness. Various long shots, black and white images, and slow rhythms seem boring, but it's actually quite interesting if you look at it carefully. How to make black and white films interesting and stylish, this is something that is worth my research. Haneke is indeed called a...

      The big boring movie is not boring, with an unexpected ending, I couldn't help but want to write something after watching it. The director, cinematographer and screenwriter are in place, neither lacking nor excessive. As a movie lover, I haven't seen such a movie for a long time....

    The film is destined not to be a reassuring movie. The sharp black-and-white picture after decolorization, the drill bit that probes into the dark space of human nature, all the way down, touching the hardest core, power. ( Sohu Online Review ) 
    The film is set in a small village on the eve of the outbreak of the First World War. The director uses black-and-white images and memories to narrate the deeply hidden violence and crimes that...
