Well, I think the movie’s viewing experience is very unfriendly anyway, and I don’t know what crime the heroine has suffered in her previous life. She has such a perverted dad who has been killing and killing from beginning to end...

The movie is generally complete, but! It’s okay for you to play Zhanghui Tifen 3214, your camera image is very sensational and give you a thumbs up, but if you play with the audience’s IQ, it’s your fault...

Lao Gai's throat cut is still strong (the most IQ-lowering part of the film, why do you have to design a cut throat if you want him to die? The writer does not know how to make a knife in his chest!) Importance (this feeling is excusable, because she was also at a loss at the time), poor Comrade Xue Nuo, as a Jiang Yang thief, was successfully counter-killed by the priest because he talked too much. Gun, if you want to talk, you can shoot it on your leg first!)...It really makes me want to laugh.

I won't say much about the story, it can be understood by individuals, but in some plot logic, it is really awkward.

The suave Edward VIII in "The King's Speech" is turned into a perverted priest with an ascetic and bitter face in this film. However, he not only recites the "Bible", but also grows tendons, proficient in sneaking and assassination. , Sniping, loves all kinds of torture, hey, let me go, thinking that his main job is assassin and side job.

Seeing someone complain about the acting skills of Guy Pierce, I am not professional, but I think it is quite good. Think about this kind of perverted character carefully. Javier Baden in "Old Nowhere" looks too evil, and "This Killer Is Not So Cold" is too crazy for Gary Oldman. After thinking about it for a while, I really can't find it. A suitable candidate in my mind (I must have watched too few movies, forgive me...), Gapierce’s seemingly straightforward look is still a good way to hide the filthy and sinister heart of this character. Get up, if he insists on stabs, maybe he didn't show the struggle of the sick priest well? ...... (After all, I have the exact same expression most of the time, and it is also suspected of being too strong in a ruthless scene.)

Oh, of course, from the perspective of character creation, this character may not be able to struggle at all...

Because this man concealed his animal desires and nature under the outer shell of religion, his ignorant and extreme interpretation of the Holy Spirit made him do evil under the sacred name.

There is nothing in his character image worthy of sympathy.

In the film, he forced the heroine’s mother to death, causing the heroine to run away from home, and then chased all the way to the brothel, killed the heroine’s friends, indirectly caused the heroine to cut off his tongue, and then found the heroine to settle down. In the small town, she killed her husband, burned her house, and finally shot and killed the heroine’s son and father-in-law on the way to escape...

How much hatred is this... The man’s hands were soaked in blood, and he was so tired of crimes that I felt that in the end he was on fire and was shot out of the house. The method of death was too cheap for him, and let him in his mouth. Niannianyou said that she "has no love", my god, is this still going to wash him off! ?

I was originally looking forward to a bloody battle (you have to see some blood for me, stabbing a few times, get a few shots), seeing this ending is unacceptable...

The film does not shy away from some extremely sensory scenes, the dead sheep, the intestines are drawn out around the neck three times, the tongue is cut (the female protagonist cuts himself, it hurts to think about it), and Xue Nuo kills the body and feeds the pigs. Eat, the priest flogs the heroine's daughter (the little girl is so cute). I have to say that in the relatively long narrative of the film, these contents can still mobilize the audience's emotions well, and are more than able to control the rhythm.

But one more thing I want to say is that this ending is really a bit disgusting. This is a feminist movie. Yes, but after seeing so many innocent good people sacrifice, the heroine finally lingers from her life. After being freed from the gloom, she still cannot escape legal sanctions. What does the director want to illustrate through this ending? Some people interpret that the awakening of female consciousness in a patriarchal society is destined to pay the price of bloodshed and sacrifice.

Forgive me not to accept it completely.

The hostess’s escape and resistance are both instinctive and passive resistance to violence and oppression. The meaning derived from instinct is greater than awakening. I personally believe that any normal person in the hostess’s living environment is bound to Will make the necessary response.

In this short life of the hostess, she has witnessed so many people around her who love or love her leave her, and she just wants a peaceful and free life, but she still failed to escape the fatal death. In her last jump, all previous efforts turned into nothingness.

Since the heroine must die, instead of letting her be arrested in shackles, it is better to let her die in the fight with her father to be more dramatic.

This is too depressing and desperate... I need to see this chicken soup to heal it...

That’s all I want to say, my thinking is a bit messy, and some aspects of understanding may be biased, so please take a look~~

    Great actor, great picture

    The two-and-a-half-hour film is quite capricious, making it tempting to fast-forward every now and then. . The big Fanning, who is only in his early 20s, is already like this, but the two young actors have the feeling of the Fanning sisters. .
