Her courage

After watching this film quietly today, I felt uncomfortable for a long time. It is impossible for every audience to understand the intentions and expressions of the screenwriter and director. In any case, I feel the heroine's unyielding will from the film. In the process of watching, I squeezed sweat for the heroine many times. She fell into despair but her face was resolute. This is a woman who is extremely sad, and her fate has been rough since she was a child. She has forged her strong character like steel. Characteristics, she tried her best to protect her family in the story. You can see how much she hates the injustice of heaven, and for this love and despair, she finally fell into the bottom of the lake extremely peacefully. When I saw the film at the end, the ending of this tragedy did not make people feel sad, on the contrary, it was a kind of release. Perhaps at this moment, everything is finally calm.
The priest in the play is the father of the heroine. The moment I see him makes me tremble, cold and expressionless. Even in the night light, the silhouettes are full of cold air, filling the whole film in place to the end, this The contrast between ice and fire, love and hate, invisibly makes the whole movie shine.
Whether it is portrayed from photography or plot, I believe it is a classic that I cannot forget. Facing life, it is even more of an incentive.
Finally, I can't help but say: Dakota Fanning has grown up and is more moving.

Brimstone quotes

  • [first lines]

    Liz: [narrating] As life progresses, images blur. All that remains are memories. Some of them true, some of them false. I remember her well - at least I think I do. She was a warrior. In the old century, you had to be in order to survive.

  • Nathan: [about Liz] She belongs in hell, Reverend.
