A Hidden Life evaluation action

"A Hidden Life" is a clear and profound challenge to crises and beliefs. This is an intimate epic about the great power needed to resist, and the courage people need to uphold their virtues during a crisis of faith, and in a world that may never give them back. There is no doubt that this is the best film director Terrence Malick has returned to the Cannes Film Festival since " The Tree of Life ".
"A Hidden Life" is that the director goes against his usual theme with a timely and urgent point of view. The protagonist is a faithful Austrian, he chose prison instead of fighting for the Nazis. This tortured film follows the tone of the director's "Tree of Life", but the gentle and contemplative atmosphere has been repeatedly weakened by distant evil forces, which are rapidly eroding the lives of these characters. The director turned the protagonist into a Christ-like figure, martyrdom himself for his faith. In a three-hour movie, in a world that is more and more indifferent and evil, the protagonist’s sacrifice is painful.
"A Hidden Life" is undoubtedly the best film by director Terrence Malick since the 2011 "Tree of Life" won Palme d'Or, it is also the most memorable film since then, and perhaps the director's most sentimental film. And the film is slow and meditative, requiring the audience to sink into and succumb to some maddening special Terrence Malick style.

    #72nd Cannes# Catholic Humanitarian Award. Malik has made another film that is similar to the previous... wide-angle + magic hour + poetic narration + philosophical speculation, but this time it is a World War II theme, and the story has moved to the Austrian valley, and it has a relatively strong plot ( Compared to Malik's previous works), there are still some differences. Technically, it is mainly the separation of sound and picture. The communication between the husband and the wife and their inner monologues have become the main content of the narration, and they are not directly related to the picture. They are used to show the psychology and emotions of the characters. Of course, the film really doesn't have to be so long...there are a lot of beautiful images piled up. In addition, file images are used. All the German dialogues in the film have no subtitles!

    The director has made all Jingyus mirror language, but failed to do all Jingyus love language. The male protagonist does not die without being able to understand, but he dies when he can understand but cannot do it.

A Hidden Life quotes

  • Mayor Kraus: This is what happens when a world dies. Men survive. But their life is gone. Their life is gone! Their reason for living.

  • Franz Jägerstätter: [interal monologue] Once you never forgave anyone... judged people without mercy. Now you see your own weakness... so you can understand the weakness of others.
