      "Secret of the Saints"

      Although Roland Joffé has no works that he can produce since the 1990s, it has to be said that his international vision has always been there. This time, he moved the story to the Spanish Civil War. The inner world is also his preference. The two childhood playmates, along with the changes in their families, social roles, and the general environment, their personal beliefs and human redemption are also changing. In fact, it's a pretty good story. The film's photography is excellent, with...

      Decisions may only take seconds, but the results will last a lifetime.

      The pattern of life always has to be knitted to the end to be fully seen. Are the stitches and threads in it purely accidental or prearranged? Twenty-five years later, Roland Joffe is still so keen on discussing love and redemption, and his works are still filled with that unique calm and elegance.
        Light and shadow, color, narrative, rhythm, depth, meaning - a "Saints" shows us all what a good film should be, a visionary director's decades-long insistence on personal style and Pursuit,...

      Humanity Faith Love and Redemption

      Which side will you choose when society changes and society and beliefs are divided?
      When God "turns a blind eye" to your disaster, will you still stand by your faith?

      The jealous, sinister, and cold-blooded Marono also has a human side,
      shouting that the communists of freedom and equality also have their sinful deeds. There
      is nothing wrong with belief in itself, but some people choose the wrong position and go in the wrong direction on the road of pursuing belief....

      I only watched 30 minutes at the beginning and a few minutes at the end

      Suddenly I found out that this is a religious movie with a civil war movie. I hate religious movies. I think there may be gods and ghosts in the world, but it can't be Christianity or Catholicism. The church is a political organization, chasing power and money, No contribution to the knowledge of the world. What I believe in is physics, action and reaction. The way the church promotes is to go to extremes and cannot justify it. From the geocentric theory, it can be seen that it persecutes the...

    Evaluation action

    "There Be Dragons" still adheres to the view of good and evil that director Roland Joffe is good at, binary conflict, and two lines go hand in hand. The story not only involves serious religious beliefs, but also a magnificent chapter in history. However, these alone, they do not make "There Be Dragons" too special, at most it shows that it has a large investment budget. On the technical side, the cinematography of many of the film's...
