Today, let's talk about the movie "Crazy Abbey".
Title The Little Hours (2017), alias Erotic Abbey (Taiwan) / Little Time.
The film is based on the old film The Decameron (1971) and selects the first story of the third day of the Decameron.
The original book is a famous collection of novels by Boccaccio during the Italian Renaissance, in which 10 young people tell 100 short stories. Most of these short stories are exposing the hypocrisy and ugliness of the church, expressing the author's humanistic concern and yearning for the liberation of human nature. This realistic style work was hailed by posterity as a "human song" with the same name as Dante's Divine Comedy.
Decameron has been made into more films, most notably in the 1971 version by director Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Forty years later, Jeff Baena remade the remake, just one of the short stories.
Interestingly, writer and director Jeff Bainer only wrote a story outline for the film, leaving the rest to be improvised by the actors.
The audience mostly saw the free lines played by the actors, testing the ability to adapt to the scene, which was much more flexible than memorizing the lines.
The 1971 edition of Decameron consists of several short stories, each of which is short in length. Compared with the original film, the length of the story of "Mad Monastery" has been greatly increased, and the result is to add a lot of new elements.
The higher the level of technology, the smaller the power of religion.
Although religious power has shrunk dramatically compared to the Middle Ages, it is still the simplest and crudest way to brainwash and control the people at the bottom.
After the release of "Mad Abbey," the Catholic League, which is involved in the film, spoke out, saying that the film was a "pure trash, pure trash." ”
However, the film garbage is not garbage, it should be identified by the audience, and the statements of the relevant stakeholders are not credible.
Religious forces have been plucked out of several layers of skin by the film, and now that there is no burning service, they can only issue a statement to brush the sense of existence.
The liberation of human nature should be a correct development trend, and life in the world is to feel happy as much as possible, rather than being exploited by religious and other forces.
In addition to the film's adaptation from "Ten Days' Talk", more of the hot point is still in the form of expression.
A group of priests and nuns who had vowed to abandon worldly desires turned their heads and began to race cars, the kind of cars they couldn't catch up with.
In particular, an open-air witchcraft ceremony with heavy drama is a feast for the human body.
The heroines in the film are the goddessEson Brie and the handsome dave Franco. These two people are husband and wife in reality, and this time they are even more staged husband and wife.
There's also the big-eyed Chihuahua-like Kate Micucci and the consistently insane Aubrey Plaza.
A man and three women played the great harmony of life in "Crazy Monastery".
"Mad Abbey" itself is more of a performance art, filming a story from hundreds of years ago to ridicule the declining religion.
There was a feeling of whipping the corpse, and as a result, the whip was drawn, and the religion jumped and screamed twice.
"Renqu" truly achieves people-oriented and opens wisely. People have seen the power of science and technology, and they have seen a more humane social system, and naturally they will not return to the dark days of religious rule.
One small detail, Fernanda is not actually a witch.
On Marta's first nighttime visit to the convent, Sister Fernanda can be seen reading a book on palm physiognomy.
In the center of the page is a portrait of a large hand densely covered with symbols and words, which is actually a music learning tool known as the Guidonian hand. It was invented by the music theorist Guido of Arezzo in medieval Italy and was used as a mnemonic tool to help singers learn sight singing.
Music was an integral part of medieval monastic life, so Sister Fernanda was reading a book about music, not a witchcraft book.
If the audience sees this, then the film satirizes religious ignorance and stubbornness, and everything unfamiliar is witchcraft; if the audience does not see this, then the film satirizes the audience with it.
