This is a veritable visual enjoyment, the Polish film "Nun Ada", the movie I saw the most in 2014. Its stories, pictures, music, as well as the soul that allows me to approach and stay away freely, all have elusive magic, sometimes it is like a cluster of chamomiles that can not be seen to cover my whole thoughts; Sometimes it can give off the pungent smell of lyso water, and the magical figure wearing protective clothing and pressing the sprayer is walking in the ruins after the war; more often it looks like a still life that wants to breathe and wants to live, reflecting from the screen. To my pupils, and then reflected into the void world. Bob Dylan used "My Back "Pages" sang the shadow of the hippies' hearts becoming more and more heavy. When fighting themselves in the six ideological realms, the confused generation after World War II stuffed morals, traditions, politics, and religion into trash bags, put on tight shorts, and shook long. Hair, roll up marijuana cigarettes, and get drunk in the spiritual world of nothingness. During the same period, in Poland, the common people who had just recovered from the panic and mess after the war were also "stealing and buying drunk" like walking corpses in the orderly and regulated "safe society" created by the Red Empire. In fact, it was 1962 as the time marked in the movie "Sister Ada". From 1944 to 1989, the country of Poland led to a political power, a system, and a society called the Republic of Poland. It was not beautiful in the memory of the Polish people. If the war threw Poland into the tragic cannon fodder, standing like an orphan on the European section waiting for refuge; then on the red avenue following the Soviet eldest brother, they wore cotton cores and were a pile of rotten black-hearted cotton batting second-hand quilts. , Wandering under the sky without signs, is always displaced. Sister Ada lives in this kind of Poland. When director Paul Pavlikowski invited her into the movie as the protagonist of the story, she had just turned 20. She knew nothing about herself like a newborn baby. Not all right, she knows that she has an aunt she has never met, who is her mother’s sister. She is an orphan who has lived in a Catholic monastery since she was a child. “Absolutely wealthy and unrequited” is her vow, the meaning of love and emotion. For her, it is Jesus and the monastery. What she can be sure of is that soon she will take the oath at the vow ceremony, and she will turn from a prospective nun to an official lifelong nun. That's it, almost ignorant. The days of retreat seemed calm, but in the end it was struck by a small stone. Out of a kind of humanity and kindness, the dean of the monastery gave Ada an indefinite leave and asked her to visit her aunt and take a trip to find her roots. She didn’t tell the reason, because she knew many secrets about Ada, that Ada was a Jewish girl who survived the Holocaust, and that Ada’s aunt called the “big man” of Redhead Wanda a socialist justice. He also believes that Wanda's niece, Ada, is ruthless and ruthless, and that Wanda is licentious, and that the status of an atheist as a "chief justice" is even more sinful. However, with all these thoughts and thoughts, the old dean of the monastery was silent on Ada. It is impossible to deny the fact that Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Eastern Orthodox, Islam, Buddhism, etc., the mutual hatred and conflicts among sects make the so-called "freedom" must be relative when those who have lost their way to choose their beliefs. It needs To be treated solemnly. The dean needs to convey to the nun the most generous and just kindness from the heavenly Father. Therefore, she must make a decision to ask Ada to reveal the identity of Jewish origin. In this way, the logical turning point is the "sworn." One afternoon before, the following story seemed to follow the following trajectory on the surface. ——Out of the monastery, does Ada want to continue to be a nun? Or would you choose to roll in the dust? This question is quite practical and very important. Especially for babies like Ada who don't know what "society" is? She couldn't hide from the scourge, the Yingsheng and Yanyu, who needed knowledge. It's like knowing that sugar cubes have tooth decay, but for people who have never tasted sweetness, tooth decay is not a problem at all. From the outside to the inside, after Aidaby met his aunt, in a sudden change of "delayed gratification", the path of finding roots became firmer and firmer, the truth of understanding became more and more bloody, and the blessing from God became more and more uncertain. . Before and after the war, the difference between human nature and human nature, the way of life and death and life and death, this series of unclear facts, truths, and problems all rushed out of the screen and poured into the minds of the spectators. And the "delayed gratification" I am talking about here refers to the several sections of the same technique that the screenwriter director arranges for the advancement of the story when designing the plot. He wants to show his aunt Wanda’s indifference and her internal heat, so after Ada and Wanda say goodbye politely, he will arrange another scene in a situation where he thinks that there is no intersection, leading to the second encounter, and the story continues. Go on. For another example, when Ada and her aunt searched for clues to important people, "Chapter One" has become the narrative tense of the movie. Important people do not appear until the evening, or they go to the hospital without being at home. In addition to filling the blank time frame with rich emotional dramas, perhaps it is still necessary to express the decayed and contradictory human nature, express the chaotic and slumping life after the war, and express the changes and pains of the country's destiny due to dependence and standing in line. Ada’s world has changed from a dome of a monastery to a cut of the sky in Poland. She came with a dreamlike ignorance. Looking out from the scenery of the car window that faded away, she showed her love for the mysterious world. Good impression; in the end, she returned to the monastery step by step with a firm step in the swift pace of fleeing. The "living" activity ended, and the mortal experience came to an end. It's not an act of groaning without illness. For an adult, who has no previous life and can't see the future, disappears ethereally, it's better to exist in the arms of God. In short, a film of more than 80 minutes, with a picture without sunlight and color, can depict the complete life of a character in such a delicate and unique manner, and narrate a large and interesting narrative with an orderly elongated slow pace. On the subject of human nature, I really have no reason not to like "Sister Ada". The following is a brief summary of the profound imprints left by this movie in my heart. Escape: Escape always sounds a bit unkind. Calling it faith may make people feel happy. If I want to sing an ode to the height of the movie "Sister Ada", I have to mention the religious "escapism", the mundane "nihilism", and the "neoconservatism" after World War II. These tall things have their traces in "Sister Ada". There is no doubt that Ada has gone through a series of mutations in pursuing the spiritual realm where the soul and God are blended, including the temptation of the Garden of Eden, including the regaining of family affection and the regaining of family affection. The life attitude of "obedience" is a noble belief, and it is also an escape from self, society, and life. Heidegger defines nihilism, "There is nothing left in such an existence! The meaning of birth is nothing but death for the end. "Thinking that she is a "nihilistic" Wanda. Her short life is the epitome of Poland before and after the war. Living heartlessly does not mean that heartlessness is an invincible weapon. Pretending to ignore the nation. Differences, pretending to deny the historical heritage, Wanda used his lifestyle to deconstruct Nietzsche, and wanted to live so self-deceivingly, waiting for the pain to drift away. Until the dust of "seeking the roots" settled, she took her son's skull back, and she The budding "neoconservatism" in her bones directly sent her into the radical retreat ending. She looked back on the past from the old family photos, and her proud Jewish national consciousness was revived. However, the past life she had to face directly no longer existed, she I am also desperate for the future of the dilapidated Poland. With Xiaoyingda, I am talking about escape. In the pure survival game state, most people abide by the law of conformity to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They seem to be positive. Facing the unpredictable life, in fact, they completely abandon their "self" in exchange for the benefits and safety in the puppet world. It is a kind of escape of thought. Mr. Sachs, who led Ida to taste the forbidden fruit, is a marginal man A music artist, whether he loves Ada or not, whether he really wants to marry Ada and have children, he finally said the most real life blueprint, "Raise a dog, buy a house, and live the life of ordinary people." "If the war swept through again like a tornado, Mr. Sachs would be reduced to a kind of person, like the indifferent owner of the cafe, like the family who occupied the Idazu house. When there is no conflict of interest, they are all ordinary people. , Maybe they are still good people from neighbors in the neighborhood, but when their personal interests are violated, their souls can naturally wander between hell and heaven. As a well-founded "murderer" outside of war, in the movie The family was not named, but only used "he", "me", "father" and "son" to design the family. They lived back to the house where Ada's parents lived, in the guilt they couldn't get rid of , The moral judgment in human nature becomes muddy, which is also a way to escape from the world. Asking Ada to abandon the ancestral house is the most persistent belief to abandon history and survive. Death: The topic of death is in " "Sister Ada" is gorgeous and extreme here. Aunt Wanda’s method of death is the most shocking. That scene has pushed the movie from the height of extraordinary work to the rank of gods, and the next period of overwhelming climax, completely It is a great explosion of inspiration and a stroke of magic. The process of killing Ada’s parents, the cause of the murder of Wanda’s son, the old man lying in the hospital bed waiting to be summoned, Ada’s luck and misfortune, death exists in the form of "life" and is deprived Also good Regardless of the chosen, self-defeating, dying, or dedicated to God, death is a complex and profound philosophical proposition. Another term corresponding to death is "the judge." The movie proposes speculation for this. It is implied in an inconspicuous dialogue situation. Aunt Wanda said to Ada, "The once famous red-haired Wanda is I, as a national prosecutor, participated in large-scale public trials and sentenced some people to death." Unlike some anti-fascist war films, "Sister Ada" completely puts the perspective of storytelling on The "peace era" rebuilt after the war exposed the crime of genocide in a way that continued to obscure the identity of the Jewish nation. The shadow of the Poznan incident still exists, and the disappointing Polish government is still waiting for time to perform miracles. Before and after World War II, a famous street in Poland, from the name Hitler Street to the Soviet Red Army Street, can be interpreted as the survival of a country, it has changed from one axis of evil to another. Finally, back to the street named after the Polish patriotic poet Adam Mickiewicz, that street is the witness of life and death. Audiovisual: The lens and editing style of "Nun Ada" is another element that makes this film unique. The composition of the picture adopts a refined white space layout, which is not dotted in individual bridge sections of the movie, but is like this throughout. The frame picture shows the striking and incomplete beauty of the focused subject in the background of blurred depth of field. Such a picture is too attractive to me. The key lies in its reasonable use and no sense of contradiction. It complements the black and white tones and the theme of the movie. A part of the focused picture is always cut off. Outside of the character, two-thirds of it is left blank, or one-half of the blurry empty shot used to cover up. Sometimes you can’t see the lower body of the character, the feet, and the limbs on one side; sometimes the picture is only left on the neck, and then positioned as a middle or full lens; sometimes only part of the body enters into the body and takes in the hands. , Intake the hair and forehead, intake the area between the chest and waist. It is not an extreme close-up shot, nor is it a minimalist painting that emphasizes the beauty of balance. With a large background that does not interfere with the line of sight, it creates a strong contrast effect. Fixed lenses, long-disappearing light sources, occasional natural light coming in, portraits in backlight, moving objects in the background of static lenses, such as bicycles, carriages, and cars, and “images”, “smoke,” and “wine” that are repeatedly drawn into the painting. It is not difficult to imagine that these images are used to define war. What's interesting is that when I saw Ada dancing with Mr. Sachs, her beautiful feet, with soft lines in black and white tones, looked very beautiful. When the lens is set in the center of the back seat of the car, while taking in the backs of Wanda and Ada, while looking at the long road ahead, the lens becomes our own eyes. It is us walking together. The road ahead of life lies at everyone's feet. Correspondingly, the filming of Ada walking back to the monastery was in response to the lens that was seen before. The shaking picture tried to lock Ada's portrait. The people who walked backwards from Ada's side were still walking forward and towards future. And Ada is walking in the opposite direction. The road ahead of her has not been hidden, invisible but clearly visible. She is walking on a road of "looking back" and "returning" without the future. Like the blood of the movie, the soundtrack throughout the film has inherited the tradition of Poland, a major music country, that is good at conveying emotions with notes. The sometimes sentimental, sometimes wild, and sometimes dark and dangerous melody flowing in the record player is the most direct expression of the emotional changes of Aunt Wanda. Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C major, "Naima" and "Equinox" by John Coltrane, the god of free jazz, and the song "Serduszko puka w rytmie cha-cha" sung by Maryla Rodowicz. These vigorous sounds are a feast. The purest cheerleader.
