A few points about the film

1. Nobel later obviously realized his mistake and went back and told his mother, but his mother didn't want him to admit it, and then went to use the money to calm things down. Will this practice cause the boy's future personality problems? It can also be positively understood in this way: he has already felt the seriousness of the matter from this incident, and he will not commit it again later. Or if he had read the latest news from the newspaper and learned the story of the murderer, would it have caused a lifetime of psychological guilt -- a serendipitous mistake by him and his friends that led to a murderer. I think it's 60 to 70 percent of the time -------- because he was already being questioned by his own conscience when he was questioned by the teacher in class and started to get upset, and then he ran home and confessed to his mother. . If Grandpa Hitchcock continues this kind of psychology as the beginning of the film, it will become the beginning of the story of a neurotic. The protagonist here begins to be replaced by Nobel, and Ivan's accusation begins to appear in his subsequent dreams. , an accidental event in adulthood as a fuse, caused him endless guilt, he could not escape, this is the matter of Grandpa Hitchcock, I will stop here, otherwise I can imagine that I will not be able to hold it tomorrow morning.


2. If the issue of fairness is not handled properly, a society will become unbalanced.

3. A murderer is always a murderer? How to distinguish which criminals can be redeemed, and which criminals should not have a good and simple desire to redeem them?

4. When a person commits a crime, is detained, and then released, this process is too simple to have an educational effect. Prisons are not only a place for detaining prisoners and reforming through labor, but more attention should be paid to how prisoners commit crimes and their behavior and psychology during the period of indoctrination, especially those who are about to expire.

5. Only recently have I discovered that people can't escape their own psychology. Always think about other people's problems from your own perspective. Just like in the film, he is grateful to the lenient and kind old lady, but no matter what other people's "death is worse than living", he will solve it for others according to his own ideas. After he was released from prison, he did not intend to live again.

6. The name of the film is "Money", which is only the cause of the story, but not the root cause.

The conclusion is: the
film aspect: the film is black and white, plus the dark and calm protagonist, plus the concise picture cutting and connection, and the concise language, make the film dark and direct.
Characters: I remember watching a legal program, which probably meant how a simple and kind woman helped a young man in her neighbor. As a result, the man robbed her home one day, and I can't remember whether he killed her or not.
We need to be careful to identify people who have criminal tendencies and who have sinned like this. From a person's crime to his behavior and psychology after the crime, it is possible to distinguish whether a person can be redeemed or not, and then sow the seeds of kindness.

    9.5/10 Adapted Tolstoy's original work into the taste of Dostoevsky. Organize the entire movie with the circulation of money as a clue. Money flows between hands. The circulation process itself includes unequal power relations. Therefore, money is not only a "fruit" that reflects the power structure of society, but also causes the tragedy in the film. "Cause"-upper-class and middle-class children can settle everything with money after making mistakes and pretend that nothing happened; while the lower proletariat is innocently involved in a counterfeit currency crisis and is completely destroyed. The photography is extremely sophisticated, audiovisual language restrained, cold, precise, and rational. The scalpel-like lens and editing make most other movies appear clumsy and cumbersome (for example, a "hand close-up + table collapsed cup falling to pieces" The close-up shots of the narrative confessed a fight scene in a Hollywood movie where blood flies, fists to meat, chickens and dogs jump, and veins violently).

    There is no soundtrack, no rendering, Bresson’s most simplified narrative style, extreme obsession with partial close-ups, and the miraculous effect of insightful writing; on the basis of ignoring the cruelty of time, the spatial language of each shot is rich in meaning, and the composition is wonderful; The whole film takes "money" from a subjective perspective, showing a social scandal that slowly decays from the bottom to the top in every detail. After de performance, it can only make people feel more bitter despair.
