"The Silence" of God's Silence

Two adult women, the two sisters, live in a foreign land separated from each other because of the isolation around them. In indifference, the younger sister was crazy and deformed and indulged. My sister advocates rationality, but she has a perverse personality and is seriously ill. In addition to cold dead objects and explicit sex scenes when the younger sister has promiscuity, there is also a child, John, the son of Anna's. He is the only link between the two sisters. In the movie, this little boy often looked at the strange, dirty and malicious outside world with innocent childish eyes... The
dead hotel suddenly appeared on the plaza where the drone was requested. Appearing tanks, military queues, ugly performances of dwarf men, unbearable heat under the scorching sun, and long anxious silence.

The whole picture of the film makes people feel a strong sense of depression. The sight of the characters is always blocked by so many things that it is very narrow and full of barriers. Always shooting silently at a certain part of the actor or a certain empty shot, which makes people feel very uncomfortable, and feel the great indifference and great depression of the characters in the film.

The recurring music in the film is magnificent and magnificent. After checking the relevant information, I knew that this was the work of the great German musician Bach, which left a deep impression on him. Noble music, accept that this is sister Anna, and East, the two indulge in indifferent and dirty behavior, the two formed a huge contrast, extremely ironic. It makes people feel that some gospels that can purify people's hearts in name are fragile and small.

There are few lines in the film, but they are all classic.
The most memorable passage: "We want to make others behave properly, but that power is too strong, and Nara is too terrible. You have to be careful when walking among elves and ghosts."

    Voice invented silence, language invented the barrier of interpersonal communication, Ester and Anna, like the door with only a gap, can only communicate with each other by peeping. The two spoke the same language, but they couldn't understand each other as well as Ester and the waiter, Anna and the bartender. It is precisely because of the ability to communicate with each other that there will always be such barriers between people.

The Silence quotes

  • [first lines]

    Johan: [points to a sign] What does that mean?

    Ester: I don't know.

  • Anna: I went to the cinema and sat in a box at the back. A man and a woman made love right in front of me. When they were finished, they left. A man came in, someone I'd met at the bar. He sat down next to me and started stroking my thighs. Then we had intercourse on the floor. That's how my dress got dirty.

    Ester: Is that true?

    Anna: Why would I lie?

    Ester: Right. Why would you?

    Anna: It so happens that I was lying.

    Ester: It doesn't matter.

    Anna: I sat and watched that couple make love. Then I went to the bar and this man left with me. I didn't know where to go, so we went into a church. We had intercourse in a dark corner behind some pillars. It was cooler there.

    Ester: I see.

    Anna: This time I'll make sure I get my clothes off first.
