A movie based on Sinclaire's novel. The inner and outer conflicts of traditional human nature, characters and plots are limited to traditional categories, but Daniel. Wear. Lewis' performance is really deep and on point. Successful people exchange for the accumulation of money step by step with the constant lack of their inner psychology, and this is a phenomenon that unifies ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries. Under the superhuman toughness, there must be superhuman pain, and it must be at the cost of many things. Extreme loneliness creates hatred, hatred stirs up a greater desire for acquisition, and it goes round and round, and finally completely destroys a person's reason and the foundation of life. The last line in the play: i am finished (I am finished) is an excellent expression. this central theme. In addition to attacking success as a direct result of covetousness, it also attacked the hypocrisy and bloodshed of religion, especially the suffocating religious atmosphere in the American South. The priest in the play is actually pursuing a kind of power, an expansion of personal energy, but in the name of God. His conflict with Daniel is a battle of two dark forces. The first conflict was Daniel's physical violence against the pastor after his son was injured, and the pastor also made Daniel humiliated in front of everyone when he was forced to be baptized in the church, and forced him to repeat: "I abandoned my son. "This is the words that hit Daniel's heart. In the end, when the pastor came to Daniel for help when the church was financially desperate, Daniel completely pushed the pastor to despair, made him betray his God and worship Daniel as the master, and when the pastor gave in and completely surrendered, this one conquered all. The man's billionaire killed the priest in his final victory, the final defeat of his humanity, and said - I'm done - words that seemed to understand the death of his own humanity. This character also has a traditional character development line, how to develop into a demon step by step. 1. Kill a struggling man at the bottom who impersonates his younger brother. He couldn't allow the phenomenon that the person he had feelings for turned out to be a liar. 2. Abandoning his son on the train after he set fire to it. This is the fundamental turning point of his dehumanization. He could not see his son begin to show weakness and imperfection physically and even intellectually. 3. When his son was an adult and decided to leave him, in desperation, he told the truth that his son was actually an abandoned baby he picked up: bastard in the basket. He intended to humiliate his son , but the son said clearly: I'm so glad to know that I don't have your blood on my body. 4. It is the climax of the whole play that finally kills the priest. This way of expressing the characters has a clear context, and it also helps the plot to reach a climax step by step, but at the same time, it also falls into the traditional means of expression. Overall it's an excellent work, and the performance is excellent.

    What a great movie. The narrative poems are delicate and in-depth all the way through, 158 minutes without exception, every frame is a treasure, DDL is the most soulful performer, and PTA has only begun to work inwardly from this part. Advance, this is also his first masterpiece.
