she suffocates us

Still dead, dead. My favorite movie right now can only be of this type. "Black" magnifies part of the truth of the world that I realize in my heart, how ugly the human heart is! Really, I don't think there's anything uglier than the bad guys in this movie. It further verifies a truth: what makes big mistakes is often not absolute evil (which is much rarer after all), but selfishness, greed and misunderstanding. We are a little bit angry about Selma, she is a lamb to be slaughtered, she is an angel, maybe she really does not belong to this world, and when she arrives in the kingdom of heaven, she should be able to dance freely.

There are also good people in the film, Casey, Jeff, and the female prison guard. These characters can bring people a short-term warmth, but they still can't save Thelma, so watching this movie is always so desperate. Is stinged by the cold reality. I only wish her life could be like "The Sound of Music", with fairy music fluttering everywhere, but it turns out that every time it is a fantasy in the dark. I have watched it many times, and every time I see her singing at the end being choked by a noose, with a bang, a life ceases to exist, and I still can't help crying, what can we do in the face of this hard and cruel world ?

    After breaking the waves, Lars Von Trier once again abandoned professional technical methods to film. It seems to tell you that even if you don't rely on the "movie sense" of lighting and photography, you can still control the "movie", and you can still convey empathy through the characters. But compared to Polang, Manwu's shooting is more cruel. Some people can't stand the heroine's stupidity (but the police are actually more cowardly). But in fact fate made her unable to choose. He just insisted on constantly, and she would be weak and afraid. In fact, the movie has been dialing this issue up to the end. This is also different from some movies that are "selling miserable". ★★★☆
