      Faith and Freedom

      In the impression of most fans, director Ulrich Seidel's works never shy away from those shocking themes, such as sex and religion, and the depravity of human nature. Like many aspiring European directors, Ulrich Seidel chose these themes only as vehicles for exploring the human spiritual world, rather than deliberately showing off. As he himself said, "I'm never ashamed to show moral and cultural taboos that people are afraid to face. But it has to do with the characters and the core of the...

      A poignant satire on religious beliefs? I don't think so.

      A poignant satire on religious beliefs? I don't think so. What the film only presents is the direct conflict between two life states that cannot be intersected, but it does not delve into the root causes of these two views of life. Although she finally swung the whip, she hugged and cried in an instant. In my opinion, this is not a real departure, but a state of walking hard in the process. The film is not about hesitation and hesitation, denial and affirmation, in belief and unbelief. Austrian...

      Not a movie review, just a record

      Watching the movie was held at the Zhejiang Art Museum's weekend theme (women's movie) screening event. The movie viewing experience was not very good, and the movie was relatively depressing. But Su! After the film ended, there was a brief analysis by experts and interaction with the audience, which greatly enhanced the value of this afternoon.

      Having a little knowledge of "art cinema" got me interested. The audience's interpretation is ashamed. A lot of times, what I see is only the...

      Letters from the Paradise Trilogy: Fanatical Letters

      The second part of Finding Paradise is the most depressing and thought-provoking work in the entire Paradise Trilogy. Western beliefs mostly emphasize the concept of "heaven", believing that the father of the kingdom of heaven will take care of people on earth, and that people will go to the heavenly home to accept the judgment of the heavenly kingdom after death, and strive for more blessings. Therefore, preaching has become a step to measure the blessings of the kingdom of heaven, and...

      Talking about a little bit of faith, I dare not expand it

      This is the second in the Paradise trilogy, the first in the series, Love, was watched over two months ago, and I wrote a feel-good review for the first, which is a shame Yes, that post was not a success, with very few followers. Looking back now, the reason for the failure should be attributed to some of my immature, even almost second-hand ideas. In that article, I came to the conclusion that "people are old, and love is not there", and "appearance determines the probability of success in...

      The power of faith is to help others, to forgive others, and to be kind to all beings, not self-punishment. Good...

      8.75 The comedy elements are very good, and the combination of marital conflicts and religious conflicts is well designed, but the logical connection between the transitions is not very clear, which makes people wonder why the plot has such a...

      2013.8.15 and Yumiko@MFA. Part 2 of the Paradise Trilogy. In fact, it is very real. The silent conflict in the heart, the weakness and struggle of human nature, forcing the audience to face it directly has nothing to do with religion. . . .

      The heroine preached everywhere, but she could never make up the emotional estrangement between her husband and her husband. Is this the uselessness of religion or the sadness of marriage...

      There is no right or wrong in belief itself, but anything extreme is not worthy of praise. The director is like a calm bystander, and the story unfolds like a disciplinary film. Although there are no intense conflicts, several scenes are particularly tense and full of emotions, especially the last scene. After all the emotions are vented, there is more than just where to go. It feels so...

    Evaluation action

    In this religious-themed film, the image of God is not only built on the props and scenery such as the large and small crosses and Jesus statues hanging on the wall of Anna's house, but also subtly permeated by the camera in the whole film. In each shot, such a unique and innovative design makes the audience subconsciously feel that God is everywhere when they appreciate the film. The beauty of a good movie is not what is made, but how...
