    Look, people have, throughout history, have woken up in the dead of the night, confronted by blackness. The sense that our lives are without meaning. Men's great achievements have brought him to the place where life as we know it may cease in the foreseeable future. But the blackness, it's not. Whatever despair you feel about bringing a child into this world cannot equal the despair of taking a child from...

    The atmosphere is very good, minimalist and symmetrical, serious and depressing, retro and dignified. It's a love story at the...

    The babbling Christian-Environmentalist Apocalypse. There are good paragraphs, and the overall atmosphere is also in place: despair and redemption in the end of the world. The plot is simple, the superposition of several connotations of "doomsday", and the expression is not a big problem - as a movie, it is really lackluster and boring. The narrative borrows too much from lines and narration, and is filled with religious, political and historical symbols that keep people out of reach, and there...

    Dilemma, Schrader is again involved in religion, and as a director. It's unexpected that the score is so low. Although I don't particularly like it, it is qualified in all aspects, so I still give it half a...

    It's too stable, and the disgusting theme also pressed me on the chair and couldn't move, the tragedy of the martyrdom of the lost believer, which is neat and down-to-earth without losing the highlights, the setting and development of the characters are very good. It is a pity that some places feel a little artificial because of the dissonance of the whole shot. It would be better to adjust it in the direction and...

    The classic "Diary of a Country Priest" has a tragic ending, and it is tragedy that often moves people. Obviously, director Schrader did not achieve the essence of Bresson, and even lost the angry youth of "Taxi Driver", and has already walked a politically correct road. 6...

    Feel surprisingly kind of cozy to see a film dragging me back to the 70s, with a touch of contemporary sense. It feels like every shot is clean and carries a narrative message that very few movies can do these days do...

    The power of slow movies

    The first time I heard the concept of "long shot" was when I was in my third year of high school. At that time, our head teacher, who was also a Chinese teacher, suddenly mentioned his five favorite movies at the end of a class. There seems to be one by Jia Zhangke, and I still remember his...

    The shadow of despair in life

    It's not good to be honest about how often you are desperate, let alone write it out for others to read. After all, this is a negative emotion, full of negative energy. Life is not easy. If you still indulge in sadness and depression too much, it will inevitably affect your quality of life. This is...

First Reformed quotes

  • Reverend Ernst Toller: Every act of preservation is an act of creation. Everything preserved renews creation. It's how we participate in creation.

  • Reverend Joel Jeffers: The creation waits in eager expectation of liberation from bondage. That's Romans 8:23. You understand?

    Reverend Ernst Toller: So, we should pollute so God can restore? We should sin so God can forgive?
