Coincidentally, I just finished watching "The Lighthouse", which is also full of black and white, the same monotonous colors, the same dark and depressing, but this time the story is more real. I am very slow to read subtitles. It is rare for this movie to finally allow me to wait for subtitles, but there is very little dialogue in the nearly three hours long. Long, black-and-white images and plots that challenge the bottom line of human nature must be particularly bleak at the box office as a commercial film, but who knows where the bottom line of human nature is, or whether there is a bottom line.

The little boy who was poisoned by the war was the bird that was smeared. The war exposed the most vicious side of human nature in front of us. He lost the constraints of the laws and rules in the peaceful era, and the sin madly bit the world and left his parents. The child became the poorest bird. Even in times of peace, how much evil is lurking in the dark corners, so please protect your children.

The little boy has long been accustomed to the dark

The most impressive thing is that the little boy lay on the rails, and the trains slowly passed by, flickering and dark, he would laugh when he met the shadow, and he frowned when he met the sun. As early as that moment, he had already Accustomed to the darkness, when he suffered from atrocities and pain, he began to resist silently, perhaps initially to end the suffering, but eventually turned into a perpetrator unconsciously.

    159 minute edition. It started from the shell of an old tower, went through a war-horse-like narrative, and flowed from the perspective of Tarr, but ended in what? I probably know what was deleted, I know too much. It's actually nice to simplify it. But there is one detail that is amazing, and that is the photo.

    The texture of the black-and-white screen is easily reminiscent of the great work of the film masters of the 60s and 70s. However, the director is not a style maker who indulges in the author's image. Although the film has very little dialogue, it can reveal the darkness in the poetic empty shots and the symbolic picture composition. Depressed theme. Due to the continuous appearance of many large-scale scenes that are unbelievable and challenge human nature and morality, the audience at the scene has gradually left the stage. At first it seemed like a kind of grotesque country fable, because of witches, vicious curses and ignorant behavior, but gradually I realized that it was a real historical background. Throughout the Nazi Holocaust of World War II until the end of World War II, the topic of Jews also began to surface. water surface. The protagonist, the little boy, is not only an observer of history, but as a victim of all painful atrocities, he also personally understands the selfishness and ugliness of human nature, which makes the discussion on the meaning of human nature in the theme concrete and profound.
