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 never revealed the scene where the murderer committed the crime. This precise tailoring of reality created the "cause and effect" of the incident. When we look at life itself, this is often the case. If there is no result, there is no point in exploring and researching the truth and incentives.
This story is undoubtedly anti-narrative and anti-dramatic, all the parts of the crime reasoning are hidden, just like facing a group of people full of silence and cover up, you can hardly capture from their expressions and words, a trace of faith. Religious pursuit, and courage and traces of self-questioning of conscience.
All victims are abusers, doctors who have been knocked down by stumbling, but they are the biggest evil after morality is out of control. A white ribbon is also a fig leaf of hypocrisy after all. Kindness cannot be increased by physical means. But in the physical body, a consensus of resistance and dictatorship emerged. The children's unpreserved kindness has made the youth group of the Aryans a hotbed of theocracy, patriarchy, and patriarchy, ravaging the village in a wild iterative way, and also for the support of social Darwinism, capitalism. The rampant racism and imperialism laid a solid ideological foundation. The flower of evil will always thrive under the sunlight and in the shadows in front of and behind the house.
Haneke is a rare cinematic surgeon and a loner. He was born in an era of more enlightenment and self-dissolution than Bresson, so he has various knives such as "Piano Teacher", "Hidden Camera", "Glacier Trilogy", "Fun Games", etc., to open the abdominal cavity of life and take out the cigarette The smoked lung lobes and the ruined stomach pouches cut the half-numb life to pieces.
