Is this movie really good?

I don't understand why some people think this is the best movie of 2018. In my opinion, this is just a crazy self-confidence by the director through the old version. What is the use of inserting so many metaphors of the times? The news of the Red Company has been broadcast one after another. Where is the connection with this story? Why does that old doctor exist? At the end, I didn’t understand, saying that the old man became a "witness" of the event, but why does this story need a "witness"? Without this old man, that ritual could not be completed? There is no explanation in these movies, and there is a problem with the editing of this movie. The heroine Bengdi jumped another dancer to death. I can't see the correlation between the two actions. Just edit the wonderful part that can be changed. The director's rough handling made this part seem illogical.

Let's talk about the so-called "horror elements" of this movie: bone distortion, urinary incontinence, physical puncture, plasmaization of female genital organs; these things make me sick, nothing else, purely using visual impact to cause physical discomfort to the audience, personal I don't think this is a superb method.

Generally speaking, I am disgusted by the director’s handling of this film. If you really want to spot the current ills, you can make "Goodbye Lenin" and impose something like a period documentary in a horror film without establishing a relationship with the main plot. Any connection, the egg hurts.

The background of the times in the movie has zero influence on the story. If this story is stripped out, it takes place at any time; any place is established. I don't know if this is the director's success or failure.

For this kind of very obscure metaphoric movies, I have always had a myth. For example, you have created a dish with high nutritional value, but it tastes like stool. How should you evaluate this dish?

    There are some shortcomings, but after watching the first dance, I already gave five stars in my heart; the good part is so good, even if you want to deduct points, it will be deducted from 150 points, he'd still outdone himself. The body in motion, object, excess , ecstasy; dialogue game is very not strong (SHOW DONT TELL!); not sure why we need a man's-regret story in this abundance of female energy

    7 points. The atmosphere was created very godly.

Suspiria quotes

  • Madame Blanc: Part of the issue always is not being able to see your body in space. One angle in one mirror or on film is not enough. Movement is never mute. It is a language. It's a shape of energetic shapes written in the air like words forming sentences. Like poems. Like prayers.

    Susie Bannion: Spells?

    Madame Blanc: When you jump, it's not the height, but the space beneath you that matters. Every leap into the air must be a coup de foudre.

    Susie Bannion: I don't understand.

    Madame Blanc: A strike of lightning. A bolt of love, in fact.

    Susie Bannion: That's beautiful.

    Madame Blanc: There are two things that dance can never be again: beautiful and cheerful. Today, we need to break the nose of every beautiful thing. And if you're going to be a dancer, you must learn French.

  • Dr. Josef Klemperer: You can give someone your delusion, Sara. That's religion.

    Dr. Josef Klemperer: That is the Reich.
