The dark tones of the film are like Caravaggio's pen, depicting an old event in the damp and gloomy Amsterdam. The law enforcement officer in the film is chilling. In his eyes only the law, without the slightest warmth. Even the marriage proposal letter was typed hard on the typewriter. Cruel, is...

On top of a sharp knife inserted into the table, Jacob flew towards his father. If this were just a story of a son who, over the years, could not bear the simultaneous torture of his father's lack of love and the shadow of patriarchy, it would not be such a laudable film. It was the Netherlands in...

Based on the best-selling suspense novel in the Netherlands. Set in Rotterdam in the 1920s, it describes a lifelong battle between an illegitimate son and his ruthless biological father, which ends with a mysterious murder. A young lawyer is arrested after the assassination of a revered county...

After watching this film, I found out about Cui Yangyi. Cui's "Blood and Bone" filmed in 2004 is too similar to this film. Basically the same story, except that the father played by Takeshi Kitano is more jerk and vulgar. This Dutch film by Mike van Diem was the best foreign language film at the...

The tone of this film is the kind that I like, the characters to the point, the dark composition, the hysterical tension, the twisted humanity, and more importantly the repressed humanity, the entanglement of people, the strength of weakness, paranoia, The goodness of human nature.    Many times my...

In my opinion, the father-son relationship is the most delicate group in the family. As one of the most basic interpersonal relationships in social relationships, parent-child relationship is often presented as a "triangular relationship". Between parents and children, due to the similarities and...

Oscar-winning foreign-language film winner "The Characters," tells a social tragedy of the late 1920s that uncovers a tale of life and death, based on the best-selling original Dutch suspense. It strikes me because of the unspeakable confrontation between the three characters in the film. Father...

If my father let go of his arrogance for even a minute, and Shan Qi knelt down to apologize to his mother and propose marriage, instead of just writing a letter in the tone of an order, I think the ending would be much happier. Teaching a son to be a man does not necessarily have to force his son...

At the Oscars, local films are often dizzy, and when the awards are handed out indiscriminately, the selection of the best foreign language film has always maintained a relatively high standard, whether it is the "Bicycle Stealer" of the year or the "No One" in recent years. "The Land of the Lord"...
