Actually, I'm not sure about how the religious story of the apocalypse in the film is expressed in the film, but what I want to talk about is self-creation in patriarchy and the struggle of female characters in marriage.
In the initial casting, Darren chose Javier Bardem, who was only 60 years old, but the heroine chose the eldest cousin Lawrence born in the 90s. In fact, it doesn't seem to fit, but it's actually the director's intention, because this is exactly his life, the state of his life and the life of his eldest cousin.
The image of male dominance in the film is constantly influencing the heroine. He needs the inspiration of strangers for his creation, he loves the crazy infatuation of his admirers, and he can even satisfy the followers who devour his children. demands (of course this is the influence of God's influence on the world in religious metaphors); but these put Lawrence in a deep dilemma. But she thinks that most of the choices in marriage are not outbreaks, but forbearance. In the movie, there is a kind of collapse of the event itself and he did not choose to cut off such a marriage. She had to struggle, she could only support her husband's creation unconditionally, endure the sexless life after marriage, and endure the unreasonable offense of strangers invited. Her 3 outbursts have undoubtedly been shown in the first two scenes of the film.
But the most exciting part of the film is the last thirty minutes. In the last time, the director was already in high spirits. He shot the entire third act out of his own surreal world, and he also presented his ideas on the big screen. . In the end, Darren took out the character symbols that he carefully portrayed step by step and handed it over to the audience. But at the same time, he also revealed his private messages. He turned the woman in his marriage, to be precise, the young wife who is very different in age, into the source of inspiration directly in the role of the publisher. In the surreal viewing space, he Experienced the abuse of extremist religions, experienced wars, and experienced refugee waves. In the end, the mother died, and her heart was left forever (here he is already the image of Eve or the image of Mother Earth), but he was still married after he was reborn.
