The inferiority complex of the proletariat and the innate superiority of the bourgeoisie have become the fuse of the contradiction. The ignorance and kindness of the proletariat, the elitist consciousness and hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie, are all carefully portrayed in the film. The nascent bourgeoisie and religion appeared as mediators of contradictions, but the nature of their vested interests could not eliminate the contradictions fundamentally.
The proletariat ended up violently, and there seems to be all kinds of hints, but in any case, this is probably not a movie that the official capitalist countries are happy to see.
Television emerged as a symbol of ignorance and seemed to be a powerful tool for bourgeois rule.
Sunglasses also seem to have metaphors. In the eyes of ignorant Sophie, the so-called civilized world constructed by words is actually bizarre.
At the end of the film, the priest killed the murderer's accomplices, and the lies they designed were finally exposed, which ran through the whole film, which was very abrupt. However, this also seems to have a certain implication. When the bourgeoisie cannot resist the violence of the proletariat, religion is used as a shield, but in the torrent of history, religion can only play a bystander role forever.
Put aside the deconstruction of ideology and return to the language of film. The film's portrayal of the characters' psychology is actually shown step by step through the characters' behaviors, and the dialogue seems powerless at this time. In particular, the heroine's walking posture shows a little change in her mentality. This is indeed a very successful performance, because of the waves of thought, it is difficult to express through words or other means.
Also speaking about Isabelle, I don't know this actor very well. From the limited number of her films I have seen, I feel that she is an actor with very restrained performances, so that her light is always difficult to overshadow the actors who play with her. , and the same is true for this movie. However, when you think about it, her dull performance is still very different.
