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 children quiet when he was away... Many of these just highlight the female clues in the whole film more and more clearly: women are just playthings, no human rights. This movie was very depressing and frustrating for me.
There are many other social problems of that period, which will not be explained one by one.
In addition, the black and white picture is very good, without the influence of the hue element, which requires higher requirements for the light and shade and composition of the picture, and is more difficult, but from the beginning to the end, the picture is very comfortable, and every shot is full and beautiful.
