The Turin Horse (2011)

Philosophy of human life

[9/10 · 5 May 2020]

The turin horse was reluctant to move forward. In Nietzsche's opinion, it was not simply tired, but there was nowhere to go. That horse is actually a manifestation of human despair. It does not eat or drink and retains the animal's last dignity. Compared with the authenticity of life, the movie pays more attention to the philosophical connotation. It explores the philosophy of human life in a minimalist style. When faced with suffering and the end of life, this philosophy shocked the soul.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Mad

[8/10 · 3 May 2020]

This series is not traditional movies. The special effects are spectacular and the imagination is great. Such a pure movie, with burning and crazy shooting techniques, not only stimulates the adrenaline of the audience, but also makes we contemplate the brutal survival violence.

The Social Network (2010)

Young

[8/10 · 2 May 2020]

The world belongs to young people. Young people don't need to follow the rules. They just need to create the rules. Young people can gain a foothold by stretching their personality. It also inadvertently tells everyone that the information age is an era of robbers, and everything must be fast. Not to mention any delays, everything should be resolved in the fastest and decisive way. The movie also shows that no matter how advanced the development of technology is, how people coexist is the most basic problem to be solved by a society.

The Tree of Life (2011)

Life

[8/10 · 1 May 2020]

The wonderful pictures in the movie bring the audience visual enjoyment. Whether it is a successful life or a failed life, it is destined to face the separation of joy and sorrow, and bear life and death again and again. Everyone inevitably feels great pain and frustration, and even loses the courage and confidence to move on. This movie found a way to happiness, that is love. There are not many plots in the movie, only the daily and gentle details in life. The last scene is a sunflower garden, where the sun is shining and life is full of vitality.

A Separation (2011)

Tragedy

[9/10 · 30 April 2020]

In the movie, the law makes people have to tell lies, and the belief makes people dare not tell lies. In the final analysis, it is all for the sake of profit and avoiding misfortune. After watching this tragedy, I was silent. Love, affection, and faith are all beautiful emotions. But when these beautiful emotions conflict, people also have to endure painful choices. After tearing away the mask of warmth in life, we will eventually find that we are not embracing life but are enduring it. Don't say love easily, and don't say goodbye easily. A separation may mean no longer meeting for life.

The Kid with a Bike (2011)

A child

[8/10 · 29 April 2020]

The narrative of the movie is fresh. This is not a tender movie but a youth and growth story of a boy abandoned by his parents. Growth is rebellious. The boy grew up in haste. He deviated from the track on a bicycle, and with the support of kind people, he returned to the sunshine and continued his life. It is better to let him grow up under the care of those who truly cherish and value him. What kind of person a child will become in the future depends largely on how the person who raised him treats him.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

Justice

[9/10 · 28 April 2020]

What is the "justice"? Revenge based on teeth for teeth and eyes for eyes. In fact, the brutal behavior has nothing to do with justice. In this movie that is full of despair and sadness, the boy seemed to be a symbol of deification, but he could not conceal that he was the mastermind and mastermind of the second murder. The audience's hope to see that the wicked get punished is a vent. Although revenge is carried out in the movie, the people who actually died, the boy's father and the doctor's younger son, are all innocent. The real wicked people, doctors and boys, all live well in the world. The movie not only criticizes the patriarchal system, but also satirizes a crowd of onlookers who wanted to see violence be met by violence.

Rabbit Hole (2010)

Love and hope

[8/10 · 27 April 2020]

In this movie, Nicole Kidman played a mother who lost her son and she performed very well. Sad people don't need sympathy or comfort. They just need time, some are shorter, only a few years, some are longer, they need a lifetime. If you have love, you can walk along the way. As long as there is love, there is still hope.

Son of Saul (2015)

Freedom

[8/10 · 26 April 2020]

The movie deliberately obscures the bloody and cruel violent acts in the immediate vicinity, but conveys invisible events through his voice. The shaking picture is like a personal experience of entering hell. This real feeling makes the audience more deeply impressed with the cruelty. Although there are some coincident plots in this story, it is more humane from the perspective of reflective war. We experience the painful, desperate, and oppressive days in history from the long and cumbersome character life scenes. The little boy who fled at the end of the movie seems to be pinning Thor's spirit. He represents love, hope and freedom.

The Lost City of Z (2016)

The brave

[8/10 · 25 April 2020]

The film uses three adventures to show the audience Percy Fawcett's unremitting efforts and persistent pursuit of exploring new worlds. The image of this movie is beautiful. Color selection, contrast between light and dark and picture settings are impeccable. I think that the movie is also telling people that the soul is not necessarily imprisoned forever, and may also soar in accordance with the dream. The movie shows the detachment of the brave but the story is normal.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

The most authentic and multifaceted people

[8/10 · 24 April 2020]

This movie shows the audience the most authentic and multifaceted people. There is no one or the other in this world, especially when we are talking about a person. To understand a person's many aspects is precisely to understand the possibility of life. Only by understanding the versatility and possibilities of yourself and others can you create such more diverse possibilities.

Paterson (2016)

We are all poets in life.

[8/10 · 23 April 2020]

A real poet is a poet who lives in life. What he should have is a poetic heart that loves life. Ordinary people can be equally poetic. The poet discovered poetry from the plain life and excavated the poetic heart for the ordinary people who loves life. This is probably the most important.

Things to Come (2016)

The future

[8/10 · 22 April 2020]

Nathalie's vacation model runs through the entire movie. When many people are old, they may regret it because they have no time or no opportunity to enjoy their time. In fact, giving up is not always a bad thing. In one's live, there are always times when we need to give up. Learning to let it go will make us move forward more easily. Give up those who do not want to take away and throw away the things you do not want to remember. Let yourself believe that there will be a broader existence when you move forward. No matter what form the future happens, our life will always continue. The future is now, and it is the most important thing to live well in every moment now.

The Help (2011)

Help

[8/10 · 21 April 2020]

This is a feminine movie, showing a calm temperament. All topics including historical introspection and the independent equality of girls are all over. It is easily accepted. The movie does not point the finger at any party, but tells everyone that "the help" is the life philosophy that everyone should uphold together. Although helping is indeed not easy, it does exist.

The Imitation Game (2014)

Lonely

[9/10 · 20 April 2020]

Benedict's interpretation of Turing as a genius character is the highlight of this movie. An unexplained genius image is brilliant under the interpretation of Benedict. Turing, the film presented to the audience, is a lonely person, and there are no more intimate people around him. Others can only see the results, but not the creative process. But the process that ultimately led to this creation is destined to be extremely lonely.

Manchester by the Sea (2016)

Sadness

[8/10 · 19 April 2020]

It is easy to perceive sadness and precipitate sadness. But how to face grief and even stand up to face the future is more difficult than grief itself. The movie tries to tell people that the deep sorrow will not dissipate quickly and easily. What we can do is try not to close your eyes and see the scars once on sunny days.

Catch Me If You Can (2002)

Story continues

[10/10 · 18 April 2020]

Frank treats the world with a game attitude and the secular rules become the tools in his hands. However, we live in the rules. There are no shortcuts in the world, because people who take shortcuts will pay a terrible price. So Frank was finally caught by Carl. But the true story of a real fake continues.

Venom (2018)

Easy to be forgotten

[6/10 · 17 April 2020]

This movie is very handsome and cool. But there is no very impressive plot. It's easy to forget after reading it.

Sully (2016)

Behind the miracle

[8/10 · 17 April 2020]

Machine and experience, which side should we depend on? In fact, we can only rely on ourselves. Everyone can be a hero. Heroism is where we persevere in the face of difficulties.

Before Midnight (2013)

This is life.

[8/10 · 16 April 2020]

Life is never a fairy tale, and marriage does not mean the beginning of a good life. But life is like that. Although there are so many imperfections, it is real.

Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)

Cherish happiness

[7/10 · 14 April 2020]

The movie tells a common truth with a warm story. Animals and people can see the true heart of what has been paid. Mr. Popper has learned to pay by raising penguins and treat others with sincerity, and has regained happiness in the family. People must understand the love around them and respond appropriately to them.

Dead Poets Society (1989)

Poetic life

[10/10 · 13 April 2020]

In educational movies, this movie has always been the top. The teacher in this story is using literature and poetry to inspire students and awaken their imagination and poetry. Life is just a stage for us. It is not important what it is. What is important is what kind of roles and content we want to choose and act on the stage. But there is a principle that you choose and are willing to pursue it with your life. Each of us always thinks about how to look forward and live a fresh life.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015)

Faith and love

[9/10 · 12 April 2020]

When watching this movie, my heart was complicated and the tears kept flowing. Today, we no longer need to be feared, but we always need faith and love. Love comes first in front of everything. Love can overcome anything.

The Exorcist (1973)

Devil

[9/10 · 11 April 2020]

This movie is one of the most classic horror movies in my mind. I can see that some later horror movies were inspired by this. True fear is by no means the imagination from outside the world. On the contrary, it must be based on the deformation of reality. The devil is a distortion of human nature or an amplification of human weakness.

Whiplash (2014)

Beyond limits

[10/10 · 10 April 2020]

This movie is full of bloody sweat and tears in life, full of irritability and anger. But I have to admit that Fletcher's methods are effective and also very terrible, because it is difficult for everyone to guarantee that they will not be abandoned halfway. Fletcher didn't believe in the warm encouragement, he said: There are no two words in the English language more harmful than good job. What he pursues is to force the musicians beyond their own limits with absolutely necessary brutal means, and they will never be discouraged by pressure. All the wonderful and amazing appearances come from long-term preparation and unremitting efforts. Therefore, without paying hard work and persevering with perspiration, tears, or even blood, how can you achieve a remarkable life?
