      More important than love is human nature

      Love is human instinct, and human nature makes people human.

      The photography of the film is clean, concise, and very lifelike. The actor's performance was wonderful. Especially the interaction between Arta Dobroshi, who plays Lorna, and Jérémie Renier, who plays Claudia, the subtle feelings are accurately grasped.

      The above is clear, what is unclear, is - like -.

      It's one thing to let a depraved, hopeless addict die from a drug overdose, and it's quite another...

      The Dutton brothers have sharp eyes...and beautiful hearts

      Silent Rona is different from the Dutton Brothers' previous works. For me, the context is clearer, and it no longer makes the audience trapped in the characters' long daily actions and lose their patience to integrate into the plot. They once again focused on a marginalized person in society, a woman who was an illegal immigrant. Fake marriage was the source of her citizenship and income. She dreamed of saving enough money to open a small restaurant with her boyfriend.

      The protagonist's self-salvation process is heartbroken

      "Lorna's Silence" tells a story about "crime and punishment" with immigration as a carrier. In order to become a Belgian citizen, Lorna obtained Belgian citizenship by means of a fake marriage through a criminal group, but Lorna, who was in the criminal whirlpool, indirectly murdered her "fake husband" under the control of the group. . Since then, in the face of huge psychological pressure, she gradually came to the brink of collapse.

      depressing movie

            Peaceful narrative, soft music, but the story told is so hurtful. A single girl came to Belgium to settle down and fake marriage with a drug addict. Her original intention may be impure, but the smuggler and her boyfriend want to force her to murder her husband. Na felt extremely guilty, but in order to have a better new life, she had to compromise. After getting a Belgian ID card, she married a Russian in a fake marriage. Her life was getting on the right track step by step, but she...

      Through the thorns of men

      Silence, in marriage, the advanced transactional form of love, Rona needs to keep many secrets.

      Claudio, Fabio, the Russian, Salk, Fabio's younger brother... These male characters are all brought out by Rona, and then they are thrown away one by one. It was an explicit deal with Fabio, and the deal evolved into revenge; with Salk, when it was launched in the name of love, it was brutally proved that it was just an investment deal; it was the addict Crow. Dee, Rona finds some trust...

      Money starts. Ending: good night; the red coat in the dark cabin; the burning firewood; the mother's murmur to the baby (the nurse said that there was no child in the ultrasound examination, and further confirmation was required, so this identification of the baby in her womb was a mother's intuition? Or self-hypnosis?); Lorna no longer silent, no longer silent ending, the Dutton brothers even appeared on the soundtrack this time! Beethoven's Piano Sonata No....

      There is no good person in the story, and this is precisely the puzzle that constitutes the truth of the real society. The man just wanted to get better and died. Women just want to get better, crazy. Very...

      This time, the Darney brothers eschewed the usual photography and made it more casual, although I still think that hand-held photography can only reflect the rough artistic effect when combined with close-up and close-up. In terms of plot, this is the director's most ups and downs story. Due to the consistent omission of the plot, the film successively produced major turning points such as the death of the hero, the pregnancy of the heroine, and the near murder. At the same time, the audience...

    Movie plot

    Lorna (Dobrosi ), an Albanian woman living in Belgium, pretends to be married to Claudius (Rene ), a frivolous drug addict, in order to become an official Belgian citizen. The mastermind of this scam is Fabio, the local ruffian. He promised to share a payment with Claudy, but secretly planned to kill Claudy with an overdose of drugs, thereby marrying Lorna, who has obtained citizenship, to a Russian mafia. The latter are eager to get...

    Evaluation action

    "The Silence of Lorna" does not simply package the impact shown in the early works of the Darney brothers, but recaptures the hearts of people through the repressed artistic nature, the perfect story structure and the excellent performance of the protagonists in the film. But the already antiquated artistic rhythm makes the second half of the film much more predictable and suspenseful, although there are still a few surprises in the...
