The wheel of fortune does not stop

It is too far-fetched to have a relationship with the "Passionate Age" mentioned in the introduction. If you insist that the two films are similar, then the similarity is not that witches harm people, but that both films are about religion harming people.
"Days of Wrath" is clearly divided into two factions. The social mainstream and ruling party represented by priests, priests' mothers, and villagers in the Middle Ages are old-fashioned, ruthless, cruel and superstitious. The reason why the priest will die is because of the betrayal of his wife and children, and clearly because of the guilty conscience caused by the death of the old witch, these hypocritical and cruel people should be tied to the stump.
The heroine and the old witch represent the other side, the old witch is kind and simple, "I don't care about heaven or hell, I am begging for life, I am afraid of death", while Anne is another brave Anna Karenina, one of them So being pastors is the opposite of them, because they still have a human side to them.
In fact, it is a movie with very modern thinking. Many movies at that time were very advanced in thinking, weren't they?

    Human nature is blind to selfish desires, and religious judgment fits with it. The free mix of large depth of field and telephoto, the wanton alternation of long shots and montages, the drama of light, the epic of shadow.

    #新看# The light and shadow are amazing, the geometric shapes and shadow projection still have a strong gothic and silent film feel; each picture is a heavy and gloomy poem, and the close-up of the face reaches the heart in the space divided by the light. , the paleness of the face contrasts with the darkness behind the sea, forming another dimension of depth of field; the lighting alone is worth five stars, and the light is so tacit in the inner drama; "I love you is the only sin", the final confession is full of mysterious Fate.
