Content retelling

This film tells the legendary life of French writer Zola. Half an hour before the film, I used a shorter length to tell about the young Zola, the young Zola who was poor but still able to pursue the truth with his close friend Paul, and the young Zola who is not afraid of threats and prefers not to work but still insists on his own writing concept. Finally, because of the best-selling "NANA", he gradually got rid of poverty. The story is not going to be passed on to Zola at this point. Zola, who suffered from poverty, desperately wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth, but slowly forgot the aspirations he set in his youth. Until the occurrence of the Reeves case, the French Ministry of War repeatedly trampled on truth and justice. After experiencing fierce psychological struggles, Zola once again found his original intention and published "I Accuse" without hesitation. For this reason, he was found guilty and fled. London. In London, he still did not give up the struggle, and finally justice was done. The Reeves case was rehabilitated and Zola returned to his country. It is a pity that the phrase "the servant forgot to extinguish the fire and suffocate people", in the gorgeous house, Zola, who wrote "Justice" at his desk, died peacefully due to carbon monoxide poisoning-the literary work has been completed.

Experience

Not a professional film critic, watching a movie is more not about the scenes, transitions, etc., but whether the story itself is enough to touch the heartstrings and resonate-this is why I gave this movie a high score.

During the whole process of watching the film, I have been paying attention to whether a line can summarize the whole film. I have recorded a lot but I am not satisfied. Until the end of the film, Zola was poisoned and died, I finally found it, that is, "The house is gorgeous, and the literary work has been completed." I think anyone who watches this film seriously will be shocked by this scene. It is a kind of unspeakable The shock of the table.

Who knows how destiny affects us, or when. It doesn't matter, but don't ask about the future when doing good things.

②Life is impermanent and we cannot influence our destiny. While we were playing cards, the starving mother and child jumped into the Seine. The servant forgot to put out the fire and suffocated people. Who knows how destiny affects us, or when, She is gorgeous, and the literary work has been completed.

③Everyone has their own way of serving the country. Some people use a sword, and another person uses a pen. The hostility will choose between your name and mine.

④Emil, sometimes willing to be cowardly, is also a kind of courage

    It turned out to be a "I accuse" incident from another angle. Mooney's performance is very brilliant, it is hard to imagine that he is the mad gang boss five years ago. But the posters are too deceptive, they don’t have this look at all!

    Law and literature are fundamentally and spiritually one. As Zola said, "Everyone has his own way of serving the country, some use a sword, some use a pen." Lawyers argue for freedom and justice, and Zola, as a literati and a writer, doesn't matter. Not for the sake of truth and justice? They fought against the mighty state apparatus in court for a common goal, uttering weak but loud cries, this is the power of the humanities, this is the power of ideas and concepts.

The Life of Emile Zola quotes

  • Émile Zola: At this solemn moment, in the presence of this tribunal, which is the representative of human justice, before France, before the whole world, I swear that Dreyfus is innocent! By all that I have won, by all that I have written to spread the spirit of France, I swear that he is innocent. May all that melt away; may my name perish if Dreyfus be not innocent. He is innocent.

  • Émile Zola: Why didn't Picquart say anything?

    Lucie Dreyfus: Colonel Picquart is a good officer. He kept silent at the request of his superiors.

    Émile Zola: You mean they KNEW and they ordered him to suppress the truth? Why,that's monstrous!
