The singing is gentle and clear

A really good movie can inspire thinking without being too loud.
This is a quiet movie, war, religion, humanitarianism, human nature, the eternal theme of the movie. The pure eyes, the holy face, the clear singing, and the simple and neat robes of the nuns are in stark contrast to the desolate streets after the war, the street children struggling on the edge of life and death, the mottled walls of the monastery, and the bloody simplicity of the wartime hospital. .
A really good movie that doesn't impose an opinion. This is a quiet movie, so quiet that the dialogue can be saved in the whole province, and the simple character dialogues almost all take place in the monastery. The whole incident will still be avoided by all parties involved even today. The more such an incident is, the more everyone should know. No matter whether a person has religious beliefs or not, no matter which camp we are in politically, we cannot avoid it. It is human nature, the human nature of male victors, the human nature of female religious adherents, the human nature of healers to save lives and heal the wounded... When human nature encounters religion, war, and faction, there will inevitably be conflicts. As a human being, it is inevitable to choose. Avoid being torn; therefore, we will fear, we will flee, we will fight, we will show our wounds, we will open the wounds of others and explore, so that we will see human nature and stay away from every possibility we do not want to face. , away from the situation where one must choose and will be torn apart, only in this way can human beings progress little by little.
The title notes that the film is based on real events. For such an unspeakable story to be shown, it is a kind of clarity in itself. There is no information, and I don’t know how the parties involved today—Poland with a strong Catholic atmosphere at that time, then, and now, and Russia, where political interests are paramount, evaluate this event and this film.
This unspeakable film tells the great sadness of the parties in an unforgettable plot expression, simplifying the dialogue that can no longer be simplified, low or even silent moaning, roaring, the loudest voice of the nuns is the singing in their prayer ceremony, Like the only sustenance in their lives, their clean faces and clear and pious eyes in the black and white images are the most incredible in this incredible event...

The Innocents quotes

  • Maria: You know, faith. At first, We're like a child that his father holds by his hand, who feels safe. A moment comes and I think he always comes where the father will let you go. We're lost, alone in the dark. We call, nobody answers. We're getting ready, we're surprised. We're hit in the heart. That's the cross. Behind all joy, there is the cross.

  • Maria: Dear Mathilde, the dark clouds have been hunted. We have here the sun in the sky. And you are in our hearts. Other wars may come. Other dangers threaten us, it will soon be difficult to write to us. But whatever our fate is, I feel ready to face it. I know, even if it makes you laugh, God sent you. Let him accompany you through the trials and that joy never misses you. Yours, Maria.
