    When I watched it, I clearly felt that Wajda was borrowing the ancient French metaphor for the present of Poland. But after watching many Polish films, there are always familiar faces acting in French history. (There is a saying that Linda's sickly saint Just is so gorgeous that I am overwhelmed...) The color matching, the costumes and the soundtrack that seems to be "thousands of ghosts cry" are all excellent. The painter found a real painter to play, and always felt that this role brought...

    2017.11.26 Rewatch. The Jacobin's blue (Robespierre) white (horror) red (Dandong), and finally the little boy comes back to life in the blood-red velvet of the same color as Dandong, an extremely powerful and perfect political thriller. Luo doesn't believe that the people are justified, and Dandong's desire to stop the bloodshed is also justified, but why did both of them die in the end? Because they are two people. Two people have politics. Politics has nothing to do with justice. The details a

    It was only last year that I became aware of meritocracy, and felt that democracy was indeed inefficient. Because most people face a question when they choose the path of a happy life, "What is happiness?". The road is tortuous, but it must be bright. Human nature can be counted on, and Hao Jingfang is a good example. Freedom to lead people, sometimes people's primary need is not freedom, but it must be the...

    3.5 When the court confronted, there was tension in the dialogue. At other times, the revolutionary court refused to allow reporters to enter the court record to speak, and the defendant was strictly prohibited from speaking. Dandong Partner A: This is a political trial. Politics has nothing to do with justice. B: I don't want to die, I have the right to live! A: People have the right to live only when they can maintain their power. At the end, Robespierre woke up: the revolution went in the...

    Does the mirror of the revolutionary period reflect the ideals of revolutionaries or the reality of revolutionaries? , Dandong's failure is also Robespierre's failure. I grew up too late, but from the revolution of the Celestial Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, we can see that the failure of revolution is the failure of human beings....

    A political allegory, alluding to Poland, which was under military control at the time. It's too masquerade, it's not fun. Vajda completely filmed Dandong as Walesa, and it is interesting that it also allows the audience to see the weakness of Dandong/Wawensa, a charismatic leader: ignoring regulations and procedures. Vajda is the brain powder of Walesa. He served in the Walesa government, let Walesa play himself in "Iron Man", and the year before last filmed "Wawensa: Man of...

    Holy guillotine, if you smear it with innocent blood, it will point its blade to your throat. Except that the cause of the incident was not specifically explained, the development of the incident and the shaping of the characters, especially the part of the court scene, were impeccable, and Wajda's scene control was...

    The meeting between the two and the guillotine are just amazing. The ending is also perfect. The director is a genius in controlling the rhythm and tension. It is the only European historical film I have ever watched that doesn't feel dull. The only flaw is the supporting characters. too...

    Pig teammates also broke a lot of things//Wenqing vs Puqing//Guiquan is really messed up (R went to beg C to give up D, C refused, so R went back and said to arrest D but still wanted to give C a chance, SJ again I don't want to let C go, C later regretted rejecting R)//The female characters are ugly//The ones who play SJ are too old//They are all roaring emperors//C Tussen is broken//They are very fashionable// David kicked for Mao Ka? //"Revolution eats its own children"//The flattery is...

    The most shocking scene is the blood gurgling under the guillotine, and the head full of soul being held high to the...

    In the Name of Freedom——Viewing French Culture from the Movie "Dandong"

    Eh... Another article to deal with the homework of the elective course... It's really enough to count the number of words... Let's take a look at it, teacher... It's good to pass. I hope it's not too cold...



        Freedom seems to be a word that goes deep into the bones of the French. Since more than...

    a historical question

      A film about Danton and Robespierre, a historical topic that even today's French can argue about. It was actually shot by a Polish director, which shows the pride and talent of Andrzej Wajda.
      Dandong loves money, food, and beauty, but he loves democracy and freedom more. Robespierre lives a...

Danton quotes

  • Danton: I am accused of conspiracy. Very well. I confess. I am guilty of conspiracy. In my heart, in my own company, I have conspired. Conspired for peace, amnesty, respect for the law, public order. Conspired for happiness and justice. These faults - yes, yes - because apparently that's what they are - I admit to with pride. But I admit only to them.

  • Danton: Another fault: being popular and strong, when only anonymity and cunning guarantee one a long life. If you desire a long life, you must not be loved. That's one of our new laws, all the more powerful for being unwritten. Woe to strong men loved by the people!
