Voiceover: Letters/Inner Monologue/Subtext

The actor whispers / speaks his heart

Interaction between actors without dialogue / eye contact / gas exchange / inner dialogue / facial expression / speaking with eyes

staggered tone

Not a conversation, but a speech to yourself/thinking/imagining a conversation in the future, for example: "What if I leave?"

Macri's feeling: how did I go, um, I saw that I was walking, I felt the emotion of leaving my hometown, as if I saw the dawn at the head of the village, but I turned away from the village, and then... What will happen to you, I can feel it To your pain, to your disappointment, to feel your feelings...

Common sense: Well, if I go, you're in trouble, eh? How to do?

It can be seen that Malick's latent information is rich, affectionate, profound and true. This emotion moves the audience.

The dislocation of the inner voice and reality is close to the real reality

Opposite voice is fake, should, designed reality

Shots/shots that feel the atmosphere serve the "emotion of the story"

symbolic picture

When the camera exits and pushes, think about what it will be like to withdraw

Cut across the line

Jumping side by side, A said to A, B said to A, and said that you are not afraid of jumping.

Breathing lens photographers also need to use the emotional dance of the story

The next one at a in the multi-room is at b in the room

Flying instead of staying in a story

    1 Three hours show the passive political resistance of a person (and a family): say a conscientious no to the regime, how to say it, how far it can be said, where is the redemption (only the leap of faith); 2 Church painter: "For many years, I have painted Jesus who reassures people, Jesus with a halo, maybe one day I will paint a real Jesus"; 3 Can the eternal mountain and the eternal four seasons bring morality in the soul?

    The increasingly religious Malik returns to the individual in "The Hidden Life", seeking to reveal the hearts of the characters and create gospel for the characters hidden by history. This is the same as his previous cosmic prehistoric works, because the key to religion is to classify the world into the realm of the mind. The theme of the film is a common theme theme in Germany, but Malik's entry point is not morality. Behind his protagonist's extreme pacifism is a kind of stubbornness that he does not know why. God is the most natural existence in this film. The protagonist embarks on the road of martyrdom without suffering, and the close-up of Marek's elevation, the backlight and the murmur-style narration combined with the plain plot seems to be saying, this is the Believers naturally understand my religious experience. And just like that, my drama queen was shut out of his experience.

A Hidden Life quotes

  • Franz Jägerstätter: I don't know everything. A man may do wrong, and he can't get out of it to make his life clear. Maybe he'd like to go back, but he can't. But I have this feeling inside me, that I can't do what I believe is wrong.

    Judge Lueben: Do you have a right to do this?

    Franz Jägerstätter: Do I have a right not to?

  • Fr. Fürthauer: God doesn't care what you say. Only what's in your heart
