Lies can kill

At the Shanghai International Film Festival in 1998, I went to the theater to watch this movie. I watched a lie and murder on the big screen. I would rather believe that the movie itself is a lie.
When the spread of lies becomes a weapon, when the madness spreads out of control, the feeling of depression becomes more and more serious. Loving a person may embark on such a road of no return, and turning from love into hate can evolve such an unpredictable situation, and being loved may also be a terrible thing. I have never wanted to go to see this movie again, even though the movie is so wonderful.
This is a movie that should be rarely mentioned, and it is difficult to see it even in the disc market. Winola Ryder's performance is not inferior to Daniel Lewis, and it can completely change the previous appearance of her. impression. Lewis has nothing to say, every time he can dedicate himself to a performance that goes deep into his bones, that is, he chose this previously unknown movie among so many films in the film festival in his name.
When you tell a lie, have you ever known that a lie can really kill people. . .

    Western literature is often the subject of truth and life. The dialogue and scheduling of the stage play are mostly close-ups, and they have high requirements for acting: Dai Lewis is a little distracted in the first part, and gradually gets better in the middle and back; Winona is already young enough to get this crazy character; the saints are so similar, The rest of the characters are also superficial because of their symbolic needs, but the presiding judge has layers that can be tapped, and the always stern appearance can hardly conceal the inner turmoil reflected by several changes in attitude.

    Watching DDL's performance and Winona's face on the film show on weekend nights, I feel like a taller man. The film is adapted from "The Witch of Salem", and the performance and soundtrack are exaggerated, but the super drama can still hold people firmly in the seat.
