We should enjoy this poetic beauty comfortably

The first half of the film is a poetic pastoral life, with picturesque scenery, towering mountains, gurgling water, and rolling wheat waves; the love here is sweet, the couple from acquaintance to marriage, full of chance encounters, enjoying The sweetness of love; the life here is quiet, the small village is like a paradise, everyone helps and loves each other, and lives a simple life.

Sometimes, I think, this is the paradise of my dreams, or this is the rural childhood I have always missed. My hometown is also a hill in front of the village and a small river in the back of the village. The neighborhood is harmonious and everyone lives peacefully.

What makes us lose these beauty, sometimes not only war, but sometimes our minds, our desires, war is a predatory violence that brings endless disasters.

However, now that there is no war, we still give up this poetic beauty. Even if there is no war, we publicize and forget some things, and we still have desires, so we abandon the beauty of our hometown and come to a strange city to work hard.

Do you miss the feeling of waking up in the sun when you are busy and have no time to sleep? Do you think of the tranquility of the country road when you are in a traffic jam on your way to get off work?

    1. Some directors use movies to write stories, and Malik uses movies to write philosophical essays about the inner world and mental state of human beings; 2. His wife, children, mother, country, and life cannot shake his heart for Belief in goodness; 3.99 minutes, a 40-second paragraph, is the most direct treatment of violence to the audience's nerves; 4. "...the goodness of the world is gradually increasing, and part of it depends on unsung behaviors. .And the reason why things around you and me are not so bad is partly due to those who don't seek fame, but live faithfully, and die without condolences. -George Eliot"

    When Malik returned to the world after becoming a fairy, and really wanted to tell a story more seriously, I felt that I didn't like this kind of over-shooting and the poetic style, and I didn't like the backlit Deluxe. The lengthy one was a little impatient, and soon after knowing what he was going to say, he was aesthetically tired, and the texture of the mountain hut was too much like a resort. #金马56# The award-winning mixed-cut short film for Fox’s 25th anniversary before the film is very beautiful.

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
