      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...

      trap

      There are always movies like this that make you speechless by surprise.

      I looked at Velitiana intently, whether she was a nun who had sworn to her religion or not.

      Civilization thought was originally the self-help opium of life's bitter journey, but when it rises to ethical taboos, it is the bondage of desire release. Stupid to religious dogma is the red cloth that blinds the truth. The original desire of man is the juice of the carnival of life. As long as you don't cross the red line of destruction, you can have the relaxing and joyful vision at the end of the film. I call this state of harmony. 【10】

      The two stories are almost separated. For Verityna personally, the first half of the story seems to only provide an opportunity for her to leave the abbey and live in the country (of course, the uncle's personal tragedy is also a topic); the second half of the story is the real focus: the ugliness of human nature, The collapse of utopia, the disappearance of faith.

    Viridiana quotes

    • Mother Superior: Try to show him some affection.

    • Viridiana: Mother Superior ordered me to come.

      Don Jaime: Do I mean so little to you that she had to order you to come?

      Viridiana: Frankly, yes. I'm not a good liar, Uncle. I respect you and I'm grateful for your material support. But beyond that...

      Don Jaime: No affection.

      Viridiana: None.
