It's better to believe in yourself than anyone else, especially for girls.

The film does not review those cruel and terrible scenes. It appears calmly in the nuns' hesitation, and we can only get a glimpse of the little detail that the heroine was almost raped by the Soviets.

Some beliefs are not called beliefs, they are called cults. For example, your second aunt’s distant relatives and neighbors believe in that thing. That inexplicable belief does not allow believers to see doctors, take medicine, or anything. That’s why it is said that feudal superstition is harmful dead. But what is more terrifying than feudal superstition is encountering a group of pigs and dogs, such as the Soviet soldiers in the movie.

Of the women in the movie, no one is really at fault, because they are not the ones who made mistakes, but they are the ones who are punished. This really wants to be scolded. This kind of anger is no less than every time there are some bad social incidents, the public opinion always says "Girls should protect themselves, how to do the following points", even if you become a peerless master, can disasters be avoided? Can public opinion and the media allow criminals to control their hands and lower bodies?

In the end, it is better to believe in yourself than to believe in anything.

The art of the film is really, really, really good, whether it is the heroine or the nuns, including the performance of the environment and atmosphere, although it is simple, it is very particular, and every shot is like a masterpiece of fine painting.

    The director's description of this incident is too shallow, too emotional, too entangled in the victim's state of mind, but he ignores the persecution, which reduces its shocking power. The Poles, by contrast, are more austere and sharper in this regard. However, fortunately, it is a real theme, and such a theme itself is attractive enough.

    Everything is so bland that it's hard to leave a lasting impression after watching it. Zofia's suicide was supposed to make the waves turbulent, but the fish spit it out. 6.5/10

The Innocents quotes

  • Maria: Dear Mathilde, the dark clouds have been hunted. We have here the sun in the sky. And you are in our hearts. Other wars may come. Other dangers threaten us, it will soon be difficult to write to us. But whatever our fate is, I feel ready to face it. I know, even if it makes you laugh, God sent you. Let him accompany you through the trials and that joy never misses you. Yours, Maria.
