    The birth of the devil

    The unfamiliarity with the new environment under war and the enlightenment fantasy about sex, coupled with the lack of parental education; seem to form the male protagonist's childhood and become a future fascist demon. Sound effects and photography are definitely the highlights of this film. The...

    Reality

    This chilling legend tells the story of a young American boy living in France when fascism emerged in the 20th century. In 1918, his father was the work of the American government in the creation of the Treaty of Versailles. His testimony helped to shape his belief-we witnessed the birth of a...

    Pre-war childhood

    The young actor Brady Corbet made such a challenging ambition to make his debut as a director. In addition, he still has strong resources and hardware, but it is a pity that the director's intentions are far from the desired effect. The large shadows and low-key photography want to reflect the...

    The devil descends on Bethlehem

    In the wilds of Bethlehem, there are shepherds who guard the flock at night according to the schedule. An angel of the Lord stood beside them, and the glory of the Lord shone on them all around, and the shepherds were terrified. The angel said to them, "Don't be afraid! The message I am...

    Thoughts and simple comments

    As far as the movie itself is concerned, it is beyond incredible! The director's film language is too mature.

    Under the background of the Paris Peace Conference, the protagonist’s family was directly affected by factors such as religious consciousness, stereotypes, and father (male) oppression,...

    The enchantment of the ultra-thin coat

    The enchantment of the ultra-thin coat

    1. The little boy just looks good! Is the character of the poisonous Earl Cain, both righteous and evil? But what is wrong with others? It's a pity that the neutral face and hairstyle were not very popular in the 1919 era of World War I... 2. Nothing happened...

    The pre-war childhood of the new generation after the war

    How to watch this movie: Does it present a generalized pre-war consciousness, or is it just a specific story set in a special period? If it is the former, then everything must be regarded as symbols. The boy is a symbol, and he is the budding state of political terror. This kind of seeing the big...

    An overhead sense of historical nihility

    Although the director has done a lot of investigation and refinement of the childhood stories of many dictators, and also has true and rigorous exquisiteness in historical details, this seemingly heavy debut has constantly revealed a sense of emptiness and historical nihilism, which is difficult...

    Put the cart before the horse

    It is very potential to cut from the perspective of children, but its limitations are very obvious-the oppression he is under is completely inferior to what his elders have experienced in reality, so I can’t help but wonder whether they are the actual incentives to become a dictator, and I finally...

    The birth of crazy fascism

    It feels that there is no specific dictator, but a collection of many dictators. The director himself said that he wanted to talk about the birth of crazy fascism during the Treaty of Versailles. Although this movie is not a four-hour black-and-white movie (how does the director know everyone’s...
