choice or providence

First of all, the photography of this film is very characteristic, not only in black and white, but also the upper part of the composition is often empty. When I first read it, I felt like it was the story of Ada and my aunt looking for the burial place of their parents. How can the story win an Oscar? Taste carefully, especially this kind of movie really needs to be carefully savoured and read further. It turns out that there are still many hidden meanings. I would like to express my humble opinion: First of all, Poland is a very complicated country in modern times. history); secondly, looking at the identity of the characters in the movie, Ida and my aunt said at first that they were Jews (later they said they were not, they were treated as Jews, anyway, it was quite chaotic), they were persecuted by other ethnic groups in Poland during World War II, and even after the war When I came back alive, I found that my house and property had been taken by force. My aunt participated in the Anti-Japanese War in World War II. After the war, she became a judge and sentenced many people to death. , My aunt was a powerful figure. At the time, she was very good at eating (big houses, luxury cars and wine), and at the same time, her private life was very chaotic. She took the opportunity to enjoy herself. Ada was raised in a monastery because she was an orphan, but Jews and Catholics were incompatible. Knowing his own background, Da has to make a decision about whether to take the oath to become a nun. The movie makes it very clear through Ada and her aunt's family search, including finding the family of the murderer who killed her parents, etc. This is the internal relationship of this country, and Ada's choice is actually the choice faced by Poland ( Suddenly I feel very talented). In the end, the aunt committed suicide under the circumstance of extreme inner conflict, and Ada returned to the seminary, the kingdom of God, after a tentative relationship. This should also be the best option for Poland.

    The neck-stuck composition is particularly uncomfortable. In the passing scene, someone said that he saw a monster in the rearview mirror of the car... About the nun's sexual fantasy, the director must have it? (Film Festival)

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] Much better than expected. Retro black and white 4:3 images, sophisticated photography composition, minimalist expression techniques, and disappearing background music. Using these forms, it tells the process of a nun who was born outside the world entering the world and being born again. Still feel it. The 4:3 black and white picture is solemn and retro, and the light and shadow effect of the picture is beautiful, but it also seems to be dazzling and artificial.
