An extremely moving movie, "The Hidden Life" fully reflects the value of a person's beliefs and beliefs, and how powerful the power it brings. The story focuses on Franz Jgersttter, a farmer who was arrested for not obeying Hitler in the Austrian Alps annexed by Germany during World War II in 1943. The hours-long film delves into the value of truth that he firmly believes in and will never yield to. What's special about "The Hidden Life" "The Hidden Life" cuts into the ordinary life of him, his wife and three daughters, and makes use of the magnificent scenery of the Alps. And use this to compare him with his subsequent imprisonment as a traitor, and thus affect his family's experiences. Among them, he has to struggle with his own beliefs or the dilemma of his family's situation, and the husband and wife trust each other's feelings 100%. The thousands of words that the husband and wife want to convey to each other in the process of prayer or letter exchange are fully presented through a montage of the living conditions of the family separated from the two places. After reading "The Hidden Life", I can't help but feel awe at how a person can have such high requirements for morality and always insist on doing the right thing. The sentence: "I would rather others persecute me than I do not persecute others." Tai Rang People are shocked. Although the film reminds me many times of Liam Neeson in "Silence" as a priest who puts his faith in his heart, it's just that Franz is more steadfast and greater than him. I like the atmosphere of the whole film. To fight against the Nazis, but to find his own answers in his faith, it is not unreasonable that he will be called a martyr by later generations.

    The lens seems to fly around randomly. By this stage, Malick is already a detached filmmaker, but not beyond "I". It doesn't matter how much the audience can accept. The more I miss the time of "The Thin Red Line".

    8.6 At the beginning of the film, the black-and-white documentary image turned to the fairyland-like rural life, and the haze of history was cleared away, and a feeling of enlightenment emerged spontaneously, and it continued well to every corner of the film until the end, forming a cold prison. sharp contrast. With his usual wide-angle lens and poetic narration, Malick conveys a pure faith that has been tested by family/society/religion and become more pure and clear. Under the illusory camera and the pathetic soundtrack, the audience thinks together, feels together, and appreciates the power of life together from the perspective of the protagonist.

  • Franz Jägerstätter: [interal monologue] Once you never forgave anyone... judged people without mercy. Now you see your own weakness... so you can understand the weakness of others.
