Sister Ida's aunt, "Red Wanda" jumps out of the window in the climax of the background music. The record is still turning smoothly, the music is exciting and magnificent, the extinguished cigarette butts are still green, and the window is empty for a long time in the center of the lens - . I watched Paviu Pawlikowski's "Cold War" before, and I was amazed by the black and white scenes with compelling light and shadow, so I watched "Nun Ada". A large number of panoramic shots that look like people have been cropped, and the neat background occupies most of the screen, so that the characters in the part of the panorama are compressed in the whole environment to show a cramped, small and vague signal. The close-up of the face of the character that is almost static, in the fixed shot, becomes incomplete and broken due to the shaking of the character. The frozen expression is pushed into a partial close-up of the face, which highlights the personal will and reveals the control and suppression of the environment on the person. Grim, clear, brutal black and white, the retro, icy cobblestone floor crawling beside the huge canopy in the forest, the shabby but solid porcelain car is silent. Aunt in black, Ada in grey. The monastery in the distant view is lying at the top of the line of sight like a sky. The nuns face the jazz and musicians who symbolize the fireworks of the world, and carefully distinguish and try the temptation of the world. Poland, which has been devastated in every way, is precarious and full of hope in the torrent of politics and war. Under the red regime, the prosecutor's aunt, who once held the power of life and death, with the pain of losing her child in a secret genocide, used indulgence and numbness to break out of her own trial road. It's just that the open-mindedness and exile that is about to come out hide the irreconcilable despair. Heavy indiscretion, thoughtful death. It was that cruel leap that became the softest, brightest and most heart-wrenching image in the entire "Red Wanda" movie. Ada took off her nun clothes, revealing her hair. My aunt once sighed to a dewy man: "She has such beautiful hair, but she has to hide it." Whether Ada undresses herself or puts on herself, and how faith is to gain faith, she still chooses her own path in the end. The music style of the film is calm, melodious, light and sad. Looking at the projection, the definition is not so sharp, but it has the simple and peaceful taste of the old movies. I am fascinated and like it. "Sister Ada" 2013
