noncommittal

I spent two hours watching the movie last night, and it started out in the name of Oscar. I finished watching it like this, and I have verified a sentence. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Maybe my level of appreciation is limited, but I really don't like this kind of lengthy and emotionless landscape shooting scenes. It feels the same as the Hateful Eight. It's lengthy, silent, and can't provide anything for the film. Mission service and assistance.
The performance level of the actors is indeed very high, but unfortunately the whole movie plot is too long and protracted. It not only wants to express the corruption and predicament of the current society, but also has something to do with religion, so it is a bit confusing to watch.
The director provided a lot of details very carefully, but I didn't understand what it was showing. For example, at the beginning of the film, what did the actor want to show after he went out and turned off the lights? What do the whales in the last screen of the heroine and the whale skeleton on the beach indicate? What's the point of an abandoned church where a bunch of kids meet? Lots of confusion. . .
In short, I feel that this film can win the favor of Oscar, etc., mainly because of the courage to criticize Putin, the ruler of Russia, and dare to expose the various difficulties in Russia. Oscar may only be interested in the political color.

    The dramatic moment when the protagonist’s wife was found derailed is a major turning point in the whole story. It points out to some extent that the tragedy of the protagonist is not only due to the persecution of the state machinery, but also just highlights the fate of a person. The teasing and trapped on all sides. This expresses the director's deeper despair for the world: even if you pick up your gun in front of the storm that God turns into, you may not even know where to shoot.

Leviathan quotes

  • Lilya: It's all my fault.

    Dmitriy Seleznyov: No such thing. Each of us is guilty of our own faults. Everything is everybody's fault. Even if we confess, the law doesn't hold it to be proof of guilt.We're innocent until proven guilty. But who's to prove anything? And to whom?

    Lilya: Do you believe in God?

    Dmitriy Seleznyov: Why do you all keep asking me about God? I believe in facts. I'm a lawyer Lilya.

  • Vasiliy: Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook, or tie down its tongue with a rope? Will it keep begging you for mercy? Will it speak to you with gentle words? Nothing on Earth is its equal. It is king over all that are proud.
