Her courage

After watching this film quietly today, I felt uncomfortable for a long time. It is impossible for every audience to understand the intentions and expressions of the screenwriter and director. In any case, I feel the heroine's unyielding will from the film. In the process of watching, I squeezed sweat for the heroine many times. She fell into despair but her face was resolute. This is a woman who is extremely sad, and her fate has been rough since she was a child. She has forged her strong character like steel. Characteristics, she tried her best to protect her family in the story. You can see how much she hates the injustice of heaven, and for this love and despair, she finally fell into the bottom of the lake extremely peacefully. When I saw the film at the end, the ending of this tragedy did not make people feel sad, on the contrary, it was a kind of release. Perhaps at this moment, everything is finally calm.
The priest in the play is the father of the heroine. The moment I see him makes me tremble, cold and expressionless. Even in the night light, the silhouettes are full of cold air, filling the whole film in place to the end, this The contrast between ice and fire, love and hate, invisibly makes the whole movie shine.
Whether it is portrayed from photography or plot, I believe it is a classic that I cannot forget. Facing life, it is even more of an incentive.
Finally, I can't help but say: Dakota Fanning has grown up and is more moving.

    Fanning felt that his acting skills were still not up to the standard, and it was not as good as a few actresses... There are a few scenes in this film that are ok. The image of the father has completely become a symbol, or else how can I explain how he didn't die (including the scene where he was burned, just like a fantasy film), and then this large chapter disrupts the chronological narrative I think it's quite unnecessary... Deliberately creating suspense... destroying the atmosphere... also very simple...

    Such a level of production, because of the serious inattentiveness to the logic of the script's plot arrangement, has led to the film that should be infinitely close to a masterpiece actually wearing the core of a low-level thriller and suspense B-level film, and Fanning's performance is even better and worse. , either passed or not enough, alas, it's a pity, I don't know if it's because of the incompatibility caused by changing roles, but the original heroine was Mia, and I was a little surprised just thinking about it; in short, this kind of theme is still very interesting. watch
