    Polanski's choice of an unexpectedly small entry point for such a complex and influential Dreyfus case proves that the purpose of the film is not simply to borrow money, as many had assumed. The film defends itself and pleads its grievances. Picard is indeed fighting hard for Dreyfus' innocence, but the whole process is very cold and restrained, there is no montage of night battles for justice, and there is no sensational drama that is often common in this type. Out of the "official" attitude....

    It's too stable. A lot of effort has been spent on all aspects of setting, props and costume scheduling, showing the strength of the master. It's just that such a story that is actually very tense is not exciting enough. It's not that it doesn't have enough drama, but I think it still lacks some attractive elements. After all, it is classical history, and its significance to modern times can actually be extended appropriately. Compared with "Shadow Writer", it is much...

    Not a masterpiece, but it definitely has a strong place in Polanski's film sequence. This is not a typical Polanski film. Polanski has always been good at dealing with dilemmas, throwing the audience between two morals. The atmosphere he's best at crafting is skepticism, but this film creates a different atmosphere: indifference. The form itself is an indictment. Polanski showed distrust of the audience. He turned his back to the audience throughout. As if telling a story against the wall that...

    8. Polanski's positive response to the accusations and criticisms in the market. The film discusses not only the injustice and the system's harm to justice, but also the inevitability of choices under different positions and different thoughts. Dreyfus was convicted only because he Being a Jew, he is just a victim of chauvinism and anti-Semitism. In fact, this has nothing to do with justice and fairness. The most important thing is the position. As long as it is not a Jew, everything can be...

    The so-called stability can only be manifested in the speed, the narration is decisive, the action directly reflects the motive, the connection of the paragraphs is smooth and smooth, and the style is very different in the director's work sequence. Under the set, the conventional lighting strategy of gorgeous or horror is abandoned, and a completely realistic photography technique is used to create a sense of gloomy reality, and the imaginative romance of history is completely...

    Polanski's new work won the Venice Jury Prize. The film focuses on Colonel Picard, who pleaded guilty to the Dreyfus case, and vividly reproduces this major historical event in the public opinion and judicial circles. Stories of individuals fighting against systems of power are never out of date. Polanski is very calm and restrained, and basically can't fault it. Jean Dujardin's performance is as exquisite as ever. PS: Clemenceau, who fought together for Dreyfus in the film, is the French Prime...

    Is there a conscience today?

    "The Dreyfus incident is moving the world, but where is the poet in this vortex?" I first learned about the Dreyfus incident in Romain Rolland's "John Christopher", Two lines of note: French officer, accused of selling military intelligence to Germany, was rashly sentenced to life in exile. This...

    I accuse He Qijunzi , both of which are trying to restore historical events with extremely complicated backgrounds. After a lapse of about 70 years, one is a European Jew and the other is an African American. In the context of 2020, it seems especially timely.

    The common denominator is what Abbie...
