"White Ribbon"

Michael Haneke, with his pursuit of the source of violence and distrust of the word "happiness", achieved a master-level leap through such a film.

From the perspective of individuals, families, and classes, the previous works have become broader social here; at the same time, the narrative is also more grand, and multiple families have their own vague directionality, which constitutes the director's "sin". world. The audio and video itself still carries its unique characteristics: cool tones, clear shots; absence of soundtrack (or minimalist); action instead of mental activity; violence and simplification; open-ended themes... He liked the rich voice-overs, which he also made full use of to reduce verbosity.

    If you describe this film as dull, it may be biased. Obscure and depressing can basically sum up the tone of this film. I believe that few people can keep watching it for 144 minutes. The wonderful thing is not in this film, but after watching it. is the most wonderful! Disciplined religion does not bring true love to children!

    The black-and-white footage has a long shot without the secret of the main line of the music. Michael Haneke hides his violent portrayals impermeably but spreads all over it. Therefore, the whole film has an atmosphere of restraint, calmness and even silence. In addition, the film has a very good story and theme, which is definitely worthy of interpretation.
