Why this film is my best of the year

After watching this film, I had a feeling of not being clear, but the impression was very deep.

Most people compare the content of the plot with "Fake Lieutenant". I really don't think it is necessary. The plot is produced around a core, but how to pull a pseudo-religious film to the side of realism? As a film art, he has super Realistic space.

The following paragraph is Tuo’s discussion on atheism. The feelings mentioned above are probably described in this way.

Two elderly farmers, neither drunk, nor friends who have known each other for many years, plan to sleep together in a small room after drinking tea, but A found that B had a silver watch in the last two days, probably A did not know B before There is this silver watch. This person A is not a thief, even an honest person, he is not poor according to the standards of a peasant, but the watch really made him like it, he finally couldn't resist the temptation, so he took the knife, his eyes were open, and he painted with his hands. A cross, a painful prayer: "Lord, please forgive me in Christ!" Then he killed B like a sheep, and took away B's watch.

This movie is not about religion, but about God, and the content of the plot starts with atheism. If religion loses God, then God is dead. All that is left in "Christ in the Tomb" is his body.

    The first five-star movie this year, the ending is a little doubtful, isn't it a flashback to explain the reason for his crime in the first place? The hero's eyes

    #49th IFFR# Voice-Limelight. Venice Day + Toronto→Oscar, the configuration of [Nun Ida]! Quite a good film, the Oscar nominated properly, at least the level of the main competition in Berlin (how did it fall to Venice Day...). The theme is "God talks to us through various forms." The "freestyle" Mass of this half-hearted young priest is really good. Story A is easier to anticipate and there are no surprises (and it is still a moral anxiety-like story structure, but it is not morally anxious at all is great), but Story B (solving the small town car accident tragedy) is well written and has become a success it's here. It happened to be dealing with the issue of "unowned space" in the post-Cold War Eastern European countries (linked to [Deaf-Mute Tribe] [Secret Material]). Later, I read that it was a metaphor for the Polish president’s crash. One star.

Corpus Christi quotes

  • Daniel: You know what we're good at? Giving up on people. Pointing the finger at them. To forgive doesn't mean to forget. "Forgive" means "love". To love someone despite their guilt. No matter what the guilt is.

  • Priest: I made my confession, but confession solves nothing.
