During the whole of a dull, dark soundless day In the autumn of that year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in heaven I had been passing alone on the horse's back Through the Singularly, dreary tract in the country and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on Finally, as night fell, Within the view of melancholy House of Usher I know not how it was But with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit but just a glimpse, some unbearable gloom pervaded my mind I looked upon the scene before me the simple landscape features of the domain Upon the bleak walls, upon the white trunks of decayed trees With the utter depression souls There was an iciness A sinking.sinking A sickening of the heart

    It has a very emotional expression, rich and full visual aesthetics, as well as a good soundtrack and excellent actors. But the narrative is completely messed up, and so much depression, sadness and despair become a flashy empty shell, just as artificial and superficial as the protagonist's long sermons.

    Three and a half. Looking down at the sorrow of this society with sympathetic eyes, but Brody is not Jesus after all, he cannot bear the sins of this world, and he can only do nothing in the face of collapse. The film's reference to books that can help people escape the ravages of sin is underestimated and only occasionally mentioned. It's just a sad story and lacks power.

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: Y'know it's funny, I spend a lot of time trying to not have to deal... to not really commit. I'm a substitute teacher, there's no real responsibility to teach. Your responsibility is to maintain order, make sure nobody kills anybody in your classroom, and then they get to their next period.

  • Mr. Wiatt: I was in my room for 2 hours and saw one parent. Where are they? Where is everybody? It's uncanny, no air raid sirens, not bombs. It doesn't happen that way. It starts with a whisper, and then nothing.
