The lens is poetic

Nominated for "The Hidden Life" in the main competition section of the Palme d'Or, a film about World War II, the subject matter is very good, with a wide-angle lens, a close-up shot, and a very poetic scenery. Due to work reasons, this film was watched. It's a silent movie, I like it very much. But it expresses a depressing theme, the lines are very thought-provoking, and some screenshots, the film is very suitable for watching quietly...

Surprisingly, the score is not very high, probably because the empty shots are too long, the rhythm sequence is slow and deliberately profound, and the subject background of the wide-angle shots is too beautiful, thus weakening a certain emotional expression.

At first, I couldn't understand who the heroine was, and I was a bit face blind, but the facial bones of the female characters were so beautiful.

In the end, who doesn't want to have a tea garden manor, who doesn't want to live in a secret and quiet paradise, in the end, will everyone choose the final ending of the protagonist?

    The same beauty will be boring for three hours, even if you are Malick.
