Prison is my eyes

1. What I admire most about the Marquis is that he can turn the prison into his eyes, just like the doctor exclaimed, "Even the prison has eyes here!" Said how tiny, amateur, lightweight.

2. If I was impressed, the married nun said in the mansion, "A prison is a prison, no matter how luxurious it is." "I grew up in a monastery, and all my knowledge of the world came from books." It can be seen that she He is a natural visionary like a marquis, a visionary like Dostoevsky, and at the same time has a clear understanding of his own situation, and is good at seizing opportunities, acting decisively and resolutely, before embarking on the fateful path.
Another impressive thing is that the laundress said "reading is my salvation". Although she died in the darkness of her own heart, she did not live in vain. As a flower of evil, she died well.

3. There are two moving plots, one is the writing of "Drumming and Passing Flowers". When the voice of the Marquis resounds between the stone walls, it seems that the prison is talking. At this time, the prison also has a soul, as if the Marquis was freed again, as if he died. Rebirth, that sense of free life is as quiet and dignified as a liberated girl.

4. At the end of the film, Sade's works are spread by his former enemies. It can be seen that he won. The way to win is to "turn enemies into friends" to some extent (think of Mao Zedong's transportation brigade captain Chiang Kai-shek). Also see that never be afraid of hypocrites, they actually have no position, only cowardice, so take advantage of it. But the passion of his life needed to continue in the struggle against the devil, so the pastor inherited his career and mission on earth.

    Okay, but I don't really like it

    The filthy pen in repression becomes a prophecy, is it a record or an inducement? A circular argument full of symmetrical beauty. After the power domesticates the writing, it is used to maintain the operation of the madhouse, and the rebellious writing will still grow secretly in the prison of the madman.

Quills quotes

  • Marquis de Sade: [voiceover, as Coulmier writes] Beloved reader, I leave you now with a tale penned by the Abbe du Coulmier, a man who found freedom, in the most unlikeliest of places: at the bottom of an inkwell, on the tip of a quill. However, be forewarned, it's plot is blood-soaked, it's characters depraved, and it's themes... unwholesome at best. But in order to know virtue, we must acquaint ourselves with vice. Only then can we know the full measure of man. So come... I Dare you... Turn the page...

  • Coulmier: There are certain things... feelings... we must not voice.

    Madeleine: Why?

    Coulmier: They incite us to act on what we should not... cannot.
