I really didn't understand what the director wanted to explain, so I had to narrate what I saw and what I could think of, discussed together, and got a conclusion that is still unclear.
As a Czech work, I can't see the mole when I was a kid, let alone understand that the most worrying part of the Czechs in the 1960s is that they can only jump their minds following the rhythm of the movie. If the thing that impressed me the most is to mark it, it is religion, vampires, and multiple strong sexual cues.
Valeria and his grandmother talked about actors from the small town, and his grandmother talked about priests with Valeria. Looks like a lively and lovely one, and a pedantic and old-fashioned one. The actor who was supposed to be vulgar played the role of always adjusting the atmosphere in the movie, but the clergy who was supposed to guide everyone to the light acted as a villain who seduced Valeria's grandmother and tried to seduce the little girl. Just like Bergman's suspicion of religion, the director of the film also directly presented his distrust of religion to the audience, not a little sloppy. Combining the background of the Czech Republic at that time, we can understand that the Czechs had a hatred of religion at that time. This hatred came from the betrayal of religion to them. When the Soviet army sent troops to Eastern European countries and trampled on their sovereignty, religious incompetence killed them. one strike. The ruined doctrines and clergy can only serve as corrupt and general enlightenment meanings.
The coitus on the branch was directly presented in front of Valeria. When the priest and nun passed by, a nun took a sneaky glance. If you dare not look openly, you have a devil in her heart. That devil is sex, a sexual pleasure zone. Give them the excitement. Similarly, Valeria saw this scene in a cage at this time. In Western society, the bird in the cage represents the chastity of women, and Valeria can easily get in and out of the cage, which indicates her desire for male and physical release. However, there is an unsolved ethical mystery that prevents him. , Blocking her thorough exploration path.
Okay, let’s talk about my favorite vampire. I had studied vampires in my college, so I recognized the pain of this lovely vampire---woman. The image of the vampire in the film did not have much innovation. After all, the director was not a mainstream genre film. Therefore, in 1922, the image of the sharp ears, fangs and black robe worn by the German director FW Murnau reappeared in front of the audience. He and Valeria’s grandmother Stone, but they don’t know why they donated blood, seduced young girls, flogged eagles, and so on. It turns out that he does not have a backbone, and he does not have much personal ideals, such as how much blood sucks to get bigger. Power and so on. It's just an ordinary nightmare. It's really a shame for someone to kill it under the influence of the protagonist's earrings. Of course, his role is still there, corrupting the social atmosphere, and making Valeria almost burned to death as Joan of Arc. In the end, the vicious he was eventually killed by the boy, and the ending was perfect.
The last scene, bright colors, sweet girls, almost chaotic kisses and caress, fathers and mothers can have physical contact with different people, does it indicate that Poland in the 1960s is the same as the United States in the same period, using sex What about liberation as a substitute for political disappointment?
The dream of the lovely girl Valeria is cruel, but she is willing to find excitement in this cruelty, because there is a girl who gives flowers, who always surrounds her like an angel.
