The history of Danish country church architecture is told by showing scenes of how the church was used by the congregation, beginning with the celebration of mass in a small and simple wooden church 800 years ago, and ending with the congregation singing in a village church of to-day. The development and the growth of the pattern of church architecture is shown.
Dreyer in this film shows a series of churches from different periods with churchgoers in period clothing. Each period is separated by a shot of a church bell double-exposed on the sky. Although the film has a vibrant and instructive way of communicating the different epochs and styles to students, it does not exhibit the artistic quality that usually distinguishes a Dreyer film, except perhaps in some of the costumes, which were originally made for Day of Wrath.
The board of Dansk Kulturfilm in autumn 1945 decided that their planned church film would exclusively be about village churches. Dreyer would rework the script that was written by editor and folk high-school principal Bernhard Jensen, aided by a committee of experts consisting of architect H. Lønborg-Jensen and Victor Hermansen, curator at the National Museum of Denmark. Dreyer had a first draft ready in mid-March, entitled Kirken er et gammelt Hus ("The Church Is an Old House"), which was distributed to the members of the committee for their comments.
In the last half of July, Dreyer and Victor Hermansen travelled the country to look at suitable churches. They researched the details and at Dreyer’s request a number of technical changes were made to the churches, including the removal of porcelain holders for electrical wiring in Tveje Merløse Church.
On 4 July, Dreyer went in advance to Ringkøbing. Shooting was set to start a few days later with the arrival of the director of photography, Preben Frank, who had fallen off a ladder and broken his leg, Fortunately, he was ready to cautiously start working again within a few days, with his leg in a cast.
Otherwise, the production went without a glitch. Everywhere, Dreyer said, they were well received at the vicarages and they had no problem getting enough extras. On 1 august, they returned to Copenhagen with almost all their footage in the can. They only needed to film the church in Skelby, where the weather had been against them, plus a Swedish wooden church in Hedared. The economy was distressed so soon after the war, especially when it came to foreign currency, but there were no real wooden churches left in Denmark and building an interior set in the studio would be too expensive.
The finished film was shown for the first time on 24 September 1947 to a small, closed circle, which included the Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs. In December 1947, as was Dansk Kulturfilm’s standard practice, the film was presented to the press, politicians and others on a programme with four other short films.
树欲静而风不止，山雨欲来风满楼！或许真如影片所表达的，张伯伦用自己的出丑替后来的丘吉尔争取到了几分胜算也一定。片中德国外交官的立场转变显得有些突兀，另外，“元首”的演员外形实在让人非常出戏。
片子的节奏不错，演员有不少熟面孔，德国部分剧情的布景也很眼熟，如果你看过巴比伦柏林，一定不会陌生。
年轻人视角见证的张伯伦/绥靖政策与其政治生涯及生命尾声，现在看来反战意识高于一切。在普通人看来仅一年的和平也是如此珍贵。后半段非常流畅动人。
时代电影，美化绥靖政策啊，关键也就缓了一年啊，英国了准备了，德国人也更有准备了啊，那会德国还没有直接硬刚英法的实力啊
女角色全员工具人，叙事重点不明，男同倒是很真挚，荞麦总算有个旗鼓相当且能入嘴的银幕cp了。整体中规中矩，铁的张伯伦不要太性感🤤
从细节到架构都完全负分的故事。“慈祥的”张伯伦献祭其他国家以求英国独身安好，绥靖政策的懦弱遗祸导致英国伤亡160万余人——怎么写得出口“张伯伦为英国争取了军备时间”这种鬼话？要不是苏军最后连揍带冻重伤纳粹，二战谁胜谁负、历史由谁书写只有天晓得。
7.8，为张伯伦翻案，是有那么点味儿了。但我同意原著的部分思想，张伯伦是个妥协派，也渴望和平。
烟盒明明还有还要“shall we share?”“I'd miss you”深情的“goodbye”看得俺老基动了，Jannis大漂亮分分钟都是hugo boss走秀啊，明明是主角为嘛演员表排老后呢
对不起，危机边缘我还是嗑到一口，两个小年轻之间张力十足。吸一口烟憋着等你一起吐是什么深沉的爱（bushi
带英滤镜片，但是仍旧无可避免地进入通辽宇宙～
Hoping is waiting for someone else to do it 想来这是我第一次看到希特勒形象的电影，压迫感太强，刺杀太紧张，车上永别太好哭了……时代的洪流将会席卷每一个人，sooner or later
已现世视角来看有一种无法阻挡的悲剧感，但仍旧抱有愿景奋不顾身的年轻人可能是永远会感动的点。乔麦演得蛮好，小哥俩还是挺有化学反应的
1938年在捷克没有出席的情况下就把苏台德划给了德国，2022俄罗斯美国欧盟在讨论乌克兰的领土问题。硬要给张伯伦妥协找借口，其实马克龙对英国的评价一针见血“英国从来就是个墙头草”。剧情一开始就很抓人，每个人都有自己的立场和观点，执政党反对党军方间谍错综复杂，演员非常棒。
影片结束的字幕把电影的格局拉低了。读过电影梗概以后我还在问自己为啥要看这么一部片子，其实细想，人类应该每年都得出几部二战题材的电影，直到下次世界大战之后才会停下吧
关于元历史，「政治现实」和具体的人；片尾字幕或许削弱了影片的电影性，但我无比认同Paul对「希望」的解构：当被抛入所处的时代，「主体性」是用行动来书写的——德意志外交官其实是一位存在主义大师。（Hugh/Paul让我代到特吕弗/戈达尔是可以说的吗
年轻人视角见证的张伯伦/绥靖政策与其政治生涯及生命尾声，现在看来反战意识高于一切。在普通人看来仅一年的和平也是如此珍贵。后半段非常流畅动人。
精神分裂的剧本，用一段祈愿和平的独白洗张伯伦，最后那段字幕又要说明什么，还是在准备战争
我们无法选择自己生活的时代，我们唯一的选择就是回应。我们必须起身抗战。
“这不可能比你家人还重要！”
政治是丑陋的，程序是必须的。很难说英国的文化和官僚体制是完全无效的，即是无捷径，不走极端。
