The first part talks about the golden age of Hollywood in the last century, when it was the world of black and white films, but there was also no shortage of color classics, such as the suspense drama "Black Narcissus".
Based on Umer Godden's classic novel, the film tells a story about beliefs and taboos.
Five British nuns came to the summit of Mount Notre Dame in India to try to build a hospital and school in an abandoned castle. With the aim of educating and healing the locals, they actually tried to change the ignorance and backwardness of the local people with rules and precepts.
Before coming, the five thought they knew all about the harsh weather and geography of the area, and regarded it as a test of their limits. However, what surprised them was that how to measure people's hearts and desires was the last door between them and faith.
As an early work of color films, some of the backgrounds in this film look a bit fake, and it can even be seen that they are painted. But this does not hinder the creation of the atmosphere of the film, the whole set is very elaborate, chic, accurate and wonderfully composed of the cold and bitter alpine snow ridge.

The style of the story has also changed.
The recent hot U.S. fear of the wind has led to many tv of the same type, such as the spin-off drama :"Ratchet".
Judging from the released trailer, "Black Narcissus" also plays the same routine, and the supernatural elements are mixed in the suspenseful and cold atmosphere, adding a touch of horror with a sense of the times to the whole film.
Young nuns practiced self-discipline in remote mountains, and the spirit was challenged by the beautiful environment.
Wind chimes swaying with the wind are embellished by the scenery when the mood is good; when the mood is not good, they will think of some ominous signs.
The nun's face when she first came, serious and pure, obviously did not know what she was going to face, so she seemed to have nothing to fear.
Soon the man's back appeared.
What are the signs of this? The audience should know what to expect.
The story then takes the fast lane: the nun learns that the ancient Nepalese princess Sarimette's love tragedy has happened in the convent, and she begins to think that perhaps some mysterious evil force is manipulating her and making everything spiral out of control.
The drama begins.
The famous cliffside bell ringing shot in the old work, the new work is introduced, and the shooting is more dazzling, beautiful and terrifying.
Under the chaotic blue sky, the delicate nun was struggling to strike, and beneath her was a bottomless cliff.
Taking a step forward is secular, and at the same time it means abandoning years of faith, but perhaps tasting sweetness that has not been seen for many years;
The step backward is a pure land, and the faith is blessed to return to safety, but how can the first acquaintance love and joy be able to bear to taste it?!
Heaven or Hell? Just in one thought.
