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the artistic quality that usually distinguishes a Dreyer film, except perhaps in some of the costumes, which were originally made for Day of Wrath.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.
这几年我变成什么样了呢？是以前自己讨厌的样子吗？虽然过去很久了，可是现在回想起来还是被击中了，那是以前活生生的自己啊，没有改变，珍爱的事和人还在内心深处。
适合大半夜自己看。最好处于一个想怀念点什么的状态，正好和这个电影不谋而合。我老走神，我可能不太喜欢男人对初恋的怀念，感觉这样的男人有点大病。
highlight是听到了尾崎丰的i love you和小泽健二的彗星。最后男主走在无人的街道，想起昨晚和朋友从green park 走去covent garden 找bar喝酒聊天，然后走在最美的waterloo bridge吹着风大笑说垃圾话，真希望每一天都是开心的，美丽的，大笑的
过于稀碎，好听点就是很细腻很感性。有两个颇为感动的地方，但片长足有124分钟呢，不值得
激起的回忆杀是抄歌词，借磁带，录电台节目，和喜欢的男生一起听完新专辑猜对方最喜欢的的歌，还有第一次拥有walkman的激动。
再一次体会到了日本电影的闷，大多数情况下都会觉得是一个很简单的故事刻意被拉长，大概是因为文化的差距吧，看台湾的电影就不会有这样的感觉。又是一个很俗套的故事，结尾处的闪回和片尾的画面是亮点，除此之外没看出什么特别之处。
回忆总是闪着光的，当不经意间的时间流逝得超乎想象的时候，那一个按下暂停的能让我们回头喘口气并且随着记忆翻滚的瞬间，依旧还是会将我们这些“无法成为大人的”的大人泪流满面。
落幕黑屏后还是沉浸在震惊中，故事的其中终点的最后，这就是你我
没有人能在黑夜里跑过时间，但天亮后都会走出去的。
首先“没有成为立派的大人”确实是我的母命题；legacy，无论是生活还是工作还是爱人的，都很haunted；理论上应该是我很喜欢的电影但是反而还是更喜欢“花束般的恋爱”🤔；我最近（尤其是周日晚上）真的有很多存在主义焦虑
★★☆ ……不抽菸不嗑藥不嫖不出軌的人生就太普通了是嗎
過往遇到的人成為現在的你。
只要和青春有关的日式中年丧，看完心情都不会太好…
这个时代很多人都无法成为人了吧，长大后就成了社会规则和手机游戏的奴隶，或者说玩具。男子开头说百分之八十人的人是垃圾，可能比例会更多吧。
长大成为大人的意义是什么呢？大概就是变得和周身人一般，普通而又无趣罢。
过去的不管是喜悦还是沉重都是虚无再怎么往后看都是浪费时间没有任何意义，move on之后的自己才是真实的。
很morden/容易被一些与自己生活截然不同的人吸引试图寻求不普通/最后还是跳脱不出既定的自我
倒叙的方式像走马灯似的回顾自己的青春好像也有那么点意思，感情线不过是个幌子。我们都无法成为大人，其实是无法成为理想中的大人，可是只要我们不堕落，普通，就已经是很难得了。
老四 如果不是为了你 我怎么会看这种片子（前四十分钟真的味如嚼蜡
只是觉得对自己还不够满意，其实活在当下就好了。
