Digging out the meaning that makes my head hurt

I feel that one of the categories of movies this year is the one that I fear the most but love to watch. It is the kind that has a deep meaning and makes my head hurt. . "Life and Death" is like this, so is "Revolutionary Road". There is not much dialogue. The expressions of the actors are particularly important. The connotation of the film is like being wrapped in two layers of veil. .
I had an afternoon discussion with Juan'er, who studied English and American literature, and came up with the following thoughts:
1. I admire Hanna's pride. In order to maintain her pride, she did not hesitate to go to prison and be imprisoned for life. This is a little bit of aristocratic temperament that puts more emphasis on image than life, which amazes me.
2. The perspective of the author of the novel is really amazing. I must say I am amazed at this innovation, how narrow and difficult to capture the angle, but the author captures that Nazism and war are not just sins on the surface, the complexities involved are not It's not simply a relationship between good people and bad people, or between the enemy and the enemy, like Hanna in it, she didn't know that she was working for the Nazis unconsciously, and her answer to the judge very simply reflected a civilian who was not politically aware of the war. True Thoughts: I just seriously do my job, just work. She has no bad intentions, but she objectively became an accomplice of the Nazis without realizing it. I can say that she is actually a victim.
3. Some film critics say that the relationship between Michael and Hanna is called love. I don’t agree with this point of view. I feel that they did have feelings later, but it can’t be called love. The definition of the word "love" is clouded. In the beginning, it was absolutely absolutely 100% primitive human impulses that needed to be liberated - Hanna had no friends, no relatives and was autistic, Michael lived in a very standard family and was very repressed, so after they met each other, they simply needed to There is a liberation in sex. The mutual giving or concern after that is just the love of a person with normal compassion and concern for the sexual partner who let him be released. It's true that Michael's relationship with Hanna when he was young made him not particularly happy in his marriage and divorced as an adult, but I definitely think this is a shadow of childhood and can't be called love.
