Three thoughts about this film

Darwin 2022-01-12 08:01:31

Three points are summarized: (1) "Can all dogs be redeemed?" The evil of human nature is shown to the fullest, it is so unfathomable, the religion that plays the role of the savior is so powerless and hypocritical in front of it. (2) Compared with religious and social welfare assistance, labor may be more suitable for saving the poor. The salvation behavior of lack of labor may just breed more laziness and greed. (3) In a capitalist society dominated by money, religion declared bankruptcy. ——"God is dead" Power, pornography and money are so closely intertwined. The privileged class is above the law and social ethics. It is associated with the chaebol-dominated suicide case of Chang Zi-yeon and Victory Nightclub violence in South Korea in recent years. event. When I read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", there was a sentence that was very impressive. It roughly means: "Justice will not be absent, but justice will be late." To me, the evil of human nature will not be eradicated and estimated. I am pessimistic, so I will focus more on beautiful things. This effect is like the vibrant red in the melancholic background of Rohmer's movies.

    After repeated blows, the hostess finally gave up and joined the Doudizhu card game=_=. The last supper is an absolute highlight. Bunuel is too good, every one of his movies feels very smart, ironic but not excessive, humorous, and slightly perverted? ?

    1. Discuss how religious belief goes to collapse, and discusses the nature of belief. 2. "All cats are gray at night", and people are also complicated. We can help others, but don't think we can redeem them. We have to believe in the goodness of people, but do not underestimate the evil in people's hearts.

    Don Jaime: So you'll do what I request?

    Viridiana: You have only to ask.

    [takes another bite of the apple]

  • Don Jaime: What a strange girl you are! When I asked this of you, you seemed offended and said no. Now suddenly you make me the happiest man in the world.
