First of all, I photograph the light and the color tones are perfect for this film. The overall feeling of most of the pictures is very soft and exudes a classical atmosphere, reflecting the old period when the patriarchal power is the most important period in this film. But in different periods, there are also different treatments, such as the brightness when two girls imagine freedom on the grass, the sense of sunshine that the heroine daughter finally implies hope, and the short exposure when the cowboy pushes the door to rescue the heroine... and so on. The processing is worthy of praise.

Then the plot arrangement adopts a flashback interspersed method, which makes people have a process of thinking and exploring the cause of the tragedy, and the impression and thinking are more profound.

The idea of ​​the film is to support women's rights. After all, deformed religious beliefs have brewed too many tragedies, not only persecuting women, but also suppressing human nature. Faith and freedom are equal.

    The two-and-a-half-hour video is divided into four parts, each named after a biblical word. The film was shot to extremes, especially the third part. The director took aim at religion, but unfortunately its logic is confusing and it is difficult to justify it. If you remove the branches and just tell the story itself, I am afraid the effect will be much better.

    Religion, guns, torture, and sex all come together bleakly and rationally in a Western context. "The Damned" is an engaging western thriller with a style and setting reminiscent of the classic crime thriller "Night of the Hunter," with violence and worry oozing from every frame. Although the strong sense of form in "The Heroine" leads to a weaker sense of narrative, it has formed its own complete aesthetic style and is restrained at the same time.
