Leviathan: the Tragedy of Hitting the Stone with Pebble

The icy-to-the-bone movie and the plot that can almost be sat in the right seat make people feel a little more chilled.

A family who seemed to be living a peaceful life has been brought down by the forcible expropriation of their house. Within the system, individual power against the state machine is a dead end, and even if the Leviathan is only a skeleton on the beach, the nets woven by the visible and invisible black hands will still lead to no escape. The lawyer, the lover, and the hero were shot at the gun but failed to save the beauty. Liya could neither get her lover nor lose her residence. The work of killing fish almost turned her into a cold and numb fish on the assembly line.

Facing her stepson, who treats her like an enemy, a rude and alcoholic husband, and a life that can be seen at a glance, Liya chooses to devote herself to the sea, but her husband is designed to be framed as a murderer and thrown into prison. Leviathan is justifiably destroyed. I lost a family. The monster-like excavator viciously and easily turned the homes built by generations of people into rubbish, while the murderers prayed in the church reverently and preached to the believers with dignity and adherence to the truth, to protect the faith. This is a movie that makes people feel so powerless and so painful. In such a society, you don't know how to protect yourself, the pursuit of fairness and justice is replaced by religious numbness, and people can do nothing but pray to God.

    The Pope, the mayor, the court, the behemoths of power in the ruined fishing village of Russia, overwhelmed a small nail house like a Leviathan, and continued to tell the rest of the story in Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard". Of course, the emotional entanglement of Moscow visitors, countless vodka, despairers and children all watched the rotten grandeur of the church ceiling
