Finished this bowl of vodka!

1) It is worth encouraging that ccav dares to introduce this matter, but the passion scene that cuts down all the time makes the plot a little broken, and the emotional context of the heroine is fragmented.

2) Russia does not have a swollen chrysanthemum, and it does not have to be closely united in the middle of the crotch, which is enviable, but it is still a big whale about to run aground. Politics and people's livelihood don't matter.

3) A nation addicted to smoking and drinking has no future. It is unclear whether it is the cruelty of reality that leads to smoking and drinking to find a short-term relief of the soul. Or is it an irrational bad hobby that directly created the reality of the tragic situation. The chicken-and-egg problem.

4) Whether the source of this tragedy is the Putin government referred to by the corrupt mayor, or the chronic illness of the national character, it should be made clear. The former is a political film that Cannes loves to see, and the latter is Lu Xun.

5) It is often said that the Russian nation has two sides of division. The unrestrained and melancholy coexist, while the lazy can bear hardships and stand hard work.

However, this movie, the real look and feel, I think I am watching a group of barbarians.

    As powerless to Russian cinema as to Russian literature

    Awesome! Although the story is not novel, it is better than the proper use of the language of the film, and the details and blanks worthy of aftertaste. Leviathan's representation is expressed through the characters/things in the film: the mayor with a fat belly, the judge who mechanically pronounces the sentence, the bishop who implicitly emphasizes the unity of the church/state in the name of benevolence, righteousness and morality; he is also the excavator during the demolition, Whale skeletons in the shoal, old and modern church domes. In the face of Leviathan, bad luck does not stop with the righteous
