A winter sun wakes the wind in spring hills' dream (From the creators of 'Secrets happened on the litchi island')
Starring main couple Xiong Yiwen & Liu Jingyu, and secondary couple He Jiakai & Guo Zhongxu. Hu Yichen, who played Xiaozhi in Shotli, will apparently be playing the younger brother of the main character. The cinematography looks absolutely breathtaking. I can't wait for this one.
i just know this is gonna be the prettiest scene ever
the poetic juxtaposition of anthpos murder spree and his mother being practically a goddess of giving and kindness....but he still avenges his mother in the end.....though, it iis through violence to one of his own, still showing his own violent nature.....much to think about
I need to talk about the way Wake Up Dead Man handled religion because it was so delicately done. The overall thesis, I believe, is that religion is something that can be used for both good and evil, something shown in the lighting as Benoit Blanc talks about his disgust with the church and Jud talks about his faith. They did so much with light and the church building, Blanc is against the grey empty background of the church in darkness, Jud is against the windows and as he talks the sunlight begins to pour into the church.
As a person who is religious, the lack of a cross in the front of the church distressed me, but I think to anyone it was such a good way to clearly display that something was lacking in this place. It made such a blank and ugly space. When we ultimately learn the name of the girl who dragged it down, it fully represents the lack of "grace" (goodwill) that is found in this church. As someone who left my childhood church over queer issues and who is disgusted by the lack of grace in many religious people, I loved this. And the image of grace restored at the end! The church that was used for evil, isolation and hatred by Monsignor Jefferson Wicks is restored to grace, warmth, and love by Jud. He also removed the towering pedestal to preach on, and throughout the movie Jud was positioned at the same level as others or lower, while Wicks was either physically higher or filmed from an angle to make him seem above others.
They also took a moment to show the importance of religion when Jud talked to Louise, a woman he didn't even know whose mother was dying of cancer. She needed someone to talk to, we don't even know if she's religious, but having someone to listen to her and pray with her was what she needed at that moment. This leads Blanc, someone who explicitly wants to tear religion down around him to get to the truth (and who smashed an image of Jesus) to allow the murderer to have her last confession in accordance with her beliefs and not be exposed in front of her peers.
It was very much a knife can cut but it can also prepare food to feed the hungry. It was just masterful and very human and I loved it.
