Hunter's Night

Recently, I was reading the "Book of Gilead" about a suicide note written by an old pastor for his son about his life. It was the first time I learned about the pastor's position so closely, I was in awe. A particularly impressive section is that in the book I (the old pastor) accompanied my father to find my grandfather’s grave. I caught up with drought and famine. When I had food to eat, I was lucky. I might need to go to other people’s vegetable fields from time to time (indirect). Buy enough food for a full meal and leave some equivalent currency. Even so, the father is reluctant to go to people's home to beg, because I don't know why everyone always knows his father's pastor status and people always give us more food than they can. In bad circumstances, I don’t know if this counts as handing over part of my life? I feel what Christianity really means to people. To what extent it can redeem people, soothe people's hearts, and bring people to the opposite of sustenance, there will be so much evil. I feel very angry when I use my sacred position to do evil like the movie, I don’t have a conscience and I want to trample on the conscience of others! This straightforward evil is unforgivable. On the other hand, it also reminds me of the archbishop of "The Godfather 3", a person who is full of wisdom to match such an identity. If he does not have enough ability to match the identity of a priest, I think it might be evil because it will be narrow-minded. Of course there will be pure angels like Lazaro. Society can't just divide the boundaries between black and white. Why can't we suddenly lose the sense of boundaries? We always clamor about this boundary and that boundary in our daily lives. The photographic part of the film is great. I like that a large area of ​​darkness is a little bit bright but there is always light. I hope to have the ability to be a person who really shines and can transmit light~

This is not a serious film review, but I can't write a short review.

    The main line died in the middle, and another BOSS who fought against the villain escaped obliquely, weakening the boy's mobility.

    The symbolic meaning is strong, and the photography style in the second half of the period begins to show up, and it is beautiful. Cobwebs hanging in the night sky, toads on the shore still, a crescent moon reflected on the shimmering river, the two brothers and sisters sitting in small boats drifting slowly, escaping from the sinful homeland, it was traumatic.
