    I believe in the joy of the body and the irreparable loneliness of the soul. Love is...

    A woman's love epic, the struggle of the body or the soul, Love is everything. The whole film has a strong sense of stage drama, the lines are not rushed, the interaction between the actors and the movement of the camera is beautiful, the relative positions of the characters in the camera and the plot complement each other, and the tension of the plot is maximized in simple...

    Supplementary standard, "The heroine who has never watched anyone in the history of the movie - from the beginning to the end of the movie, the heroine has not seen anyone from the beginning to the end, that is Ge...

    Murnau's "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans" conjures up a prototype as ancient as the fire on the cave wall, and so is Dreyer's Gertrud, who is terrified in the face of the mystery of the world or the inner interstitial. There is a soothing feeling that is neither unavoidable nor what it is, subtly oscillating between these, like a flickering fire, a light touch from...

    The master of all aspects of classical romanticism, intuitive but very unintuitive, superficial and deep. All the organizational structures, creating a fascinating thing and atmosphere. Dreyer is a stage...

    The heroine ranges from the intimidating artist & the good guy (Father's Indoctrination: No Choice) to the indifferent and uncertain (Disheartened to marry someone who doesn't love: I don't know how to choose) to the bad guy (Cheater: Derailed: Destroyed and cut off Choice) to the choice of choice and belief (in order to regain the self and the world to establish an absolute connection with the outside world to combat fatalism and the failure of love) The relationship between thinking, choice...

    Dreyer's last film. It is known for many long takes, one of which is nearly ten minutes of Gertrude and her ex-lover Gabriel talking about their past. The film separates critics and audiences from the start. Strindberg's difficulty in understanding men and women admirably complements Dreyer's dry but profound style. "Of all Dreyer's works, it is the innermost, and therefore the apex of his aesthetic, if not the crown." Gerchu's husband, Gustav Kanning, is also closer to Anna Karenina's husband,...

    “Just like women’s love is out of need, men need to work, I don’t see why love needs to be more noble and more correct” +1 In reality, every time I meet someone who loves madly and hysterically, I don’t consciously go back....

    After watching 70 minutes, when I almost thought it was a full-blown boring film, Gabriel hit me hard, about love and...

    Eros, Path of Exile

    Those who are filled with love will be sentenced to death, and the rest will be either endless exile or infinite reprieve.

    In this entanglement between three men and one woman, Ge Chu is by no means the center of everything. Rather, she is free from the boundaries between the boundaries and at the...

    The Gertrud in Me

    Joni Mitchell once sang "i really don't know love at all", but Gertrud knew exactly what love means to her. When she was 16 years old, she wrote this way-

    Just look at me. Am I beautiful?
    No. But I have loved.
    Just look at me. Am I young?
    No. But I have loved.
    Just look at me. Do I live?
    No. But I...
