    A history of the demise of religion and belief

    -Unfinished to be updated, detailed analysis has not been carried out-

    hypocritical

    First time watching a Nuer movie, one of the religious trilogy. After reading it, there are quite a lot of highlights, especially some of the plot designs are ironic and imaginative.

    The script of the movie is a three-act play. The most powerful is in the last scene, and all the ugliness are shown...

    The road to redemption is full of thorns

    A rare ticket at the Shanghai International Film Festival. The SFC Hengshan store has a very good environment and is almost full. Black-and-white film remakes also work well. After watching the various special effects now, watching black and white movies has a special literary and quiet feeling....

    The light of reason illuminates the cat

    Everything in the world is a metaphor. The lens is simple and full of symbols. There is a certain weirdness in the realism. It is very Buñuel: the soot scattered on the bed heralds death, the portrait of the Virgin with one eye, the rat in the old warehouse The cat, the out-of-control carnival of...

    satire of religion

    One of Buñuel's religious trilogy, a very wonderful masterpiece. The pious and pure nuns provided food and accommodation for the homeless and sick beggars in the surrounding villages out of selflessness and kindness after the death of their uncles, and called them to divide their labor to build a...

    little sheep veritiana

    Buñuel was a persistent atheist all his life and lost faith in the corruption and degeneration of religious organizations. "Velitiana" is the second part of the religious trilogy . The collapse of the middle class, the pragmatism of the middle class, the sick beggars and the homeless, the...

    [Film Review] Viridiana (1961) 8.2/10

    Loosely based on Benito Pérez Galdós' novel HALMA (uncredited though), Buñuel's Palme d'Or winner VIRIDIANA, an honor shared with Henri Colpi's THE LONG ABSENCE (1961), can brazenly make anyone endowed with a common moral sense feel uneasy because it stoutheartedly touches a raw nerve in its...

    The first fifty years after your death are not far away

    I watched all the films with higher ratings by Buñuel on the list, as well as his autobiography and interviews. These jobs took me two months of my spare time. First, it was because I was slow in digesting and understanding, and secondly, it was because Buñuel, an interesting old man, was too...

    Song of the Little White Sheep

    The second in a trilogy of anti-religious films by Buñuel. Velitiana was like the pure white lamb of the Lord, being dragged into the black world step by step. Buñuel satirically portrayed the unsalvageable poor people at the bottom, who demanded respect, but were bossy when they treated their...

    There is nothing new under the sun

    Movies about nuns "returning to secular life" are actually still being made by many people. However, in the end, whether it is Munghi's "Beyond the hills" or the recently up-and-coming "Ida", they are still no match for Master Bo's "Viridiana" more than half a century ago. It's not the first time...
