Such exquisite photography is not unfamiliar. The color and black and white parallel "Illusory Realm" and the colorful fantasy fairy tale "Hong Lingyan" are all from the hand of the photographer - Jack Decaff. In "Illusionary Realm", a pink flower gradually faded its fresh life through his hands. In "Black Narcissus", a slanting sun shines in the eyes of the maddened nuns. In "Hong Lingyan" The dancer jumped over the lofty mountains where the phantom light replaced the real body. Coincidentally, my favorite horror film "Cat's Eyes Seeing People" and the first suspense film "Tragedy on the Nile" were also made by him. When one day the movie stops telling stories, it will definitely be a world of dynamic painting. , every frame is the photographer's secret garden.

If you look closely, you can actually feel that it is a painting, but it is still charming

Five British nuns came to the top of Mount Everest in India to try to build a hospital and a school in an abandoned castle. Behind the purpose of educating and healing the local people, they tried to change the ignorance and backwardness here with rules and regulations. Originally thought that the bad weather and geographical location were the test of their limits, but the huge impact on people's hearts is the most deadly under the extreme environment. At this peak, where only saints and laity can live, where will their faith lead them?

Cultural and religious conflicts have been reduced to a minimum under the stunning photography, and the way of thinking in Eastern and Western countries can only be glimpsed from the conversations of a few people of different identities. In the eyes of the Indian people who are accustomed to free and unrestrained indulgence, the rigid and cold rules of the British are equally puzzling. It is indeed as simple as Dean said, a world full of children, and it is precisely because of the self-righteous advanced civilization of such advanced countries that it is difficult for them to invade their innocent smiles. A place that is almost as close to heaven as it is to suffer the worst blow to the faith of the servants of God.

It is unimaginable that the spectacular snow-capped mountain is actually completed in a studio. A clock on the cliff side of Mount Everest, which is more than 8,000 meters above sea level, rings regularly every day. It seems that it wakes up the morning light and casts a soft color to the earth. With Lengfeng's singing, Stormrage shouted all day and night, but only teased the nun's sackcloth dress. The flowers bloomed like fire in the land that was supposed to be all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and the saints on the hillside and not far away The snow-capped mountains face each other from a distance, as if they are playing a game with the whole world, and they seem to have long since been integrated with the snow-capped mountains, and face the mediocrity of all beings indifferently.

I always think this nun looks like Audrey Hepburn from some angles

This girl looks like Vivien Leigh

A castle that was originally a golden house is now being baptized by faith. The hidden sex Buddha statues are eternally climaxing behind the curtain, and the sexy portraits on the walls are still releasing the most primitive attraction. A strong man half-naked and wanton frivolous in and out of the monastery on the top of the snow-capped mountain. He is the savior of the nuns who came halfway. He is like the embodiment of the castle, swallowing up the minds of the nuns; he is also the embodiment of the snow-capped mountain. , making the nuns' longings clear. Two nuns fell in love with him, and one of them went mad to death, the other hurried away. The unfinished words are like unclenched hands, everything is hidden in the clouds and mist on the snow peak.

The voyeur nun is clouded by shadows, and her heart is gradually clouded by desire

Driven by pure instinct, a nun blamed herself for developing the most sincere love for this pure land, the beggar girl tried everything to seduce the prince to love, and the nun who has always been arbitrary decides to return to the secular world. People's weak emotions are refracted into the myths sung by troubadours through the ages. Only through complete understanding or complete innocence can they survive in this land.

Wasn't the nun's memories of her youth a dose of black narcissus? The perfume "Black Narcissus" on the scarf of the Indian prince enlightens the hearts of men and women, and the body odor from the sea burns their past joys and sorrows, and the result is neither detachment nor entry into the world

The nuns who have just arrived here look down the cliff without fear or fog, the clear bell pierces the cliff of eight thousand feet to reach the mundane world

A nun who is trying to uphold the religious beliefs and a nun who is blinded by hatred fight together, the world is shrouded in a dark fog, and their hearts are not full of doubts.

This kind of kneeling pleading for love is really overwhelming. An Indian beggar girl proposed to the prince. The prince was moved to accept her, and then thought of his responsibility and abandoned her. There are so many stories

In the external environment, the nun's figure is too weak, her faith is not enough to shake the snow-capped mountains
