Signs of coming blood

Aside from religion and the background of the times, the film is still very heavy. The theme of human nature is always difficult to understand, especially when it is entangled with interests. The indifference of the male protagonist to human life in the film shocked me. I didn't even kill him. When he met his fake brother and the hypocritical missionary, he saw a little hesitation. But they don't even have any entanglement of interests, and they don't necessarily have any deep hatred.

This contradiction in the film is its difficult part, and it is also its attraction. The gushing of oil is a sign of the coming of blood. I don’t like the subject matter and narrative technique very much, but I can’t deny that it is a very wonderful film. It is about human nature, about interests and religious beliefs, and it is always profound and not so exciting?

    #新看#4.5; The story of the creation of an empire is always strikingly similar, with ambition and lies as the foundation, violence and erosion as the means of conquest, blood and ruthlessness, supplemented by family drama and religious bewitchment as emotional support, and advancing without distractions , abandoning conscience without mercy, everything is oriented to the established goal; the end is so close, and you will eventually fall into extreme madness, staring at the lonely castle for life - sorry, you are trash, the world alone is awake (the ending is hard not to Think Citizen Kane). The face mixed with multiple human nature lingers in the shadows, oil and blood cover the only trace of warmth in the heart, he diligently creates a kingdom far away from the hustle and bustle, and tells how the process of capital establishment has filled every pore with cruel blood and tears. , DDL's acting skills can be enthroned, every PTA work uses actors to the extreme, praise! The opening ten minutes is enough to hold your breath, the soundtrack is excellent, and the vision of the sky-high fire is like the beginning of the creation.
