The question of God and death

Webster 2022-04-23 07:01:41

The questioning of God and death. "God is like a lover who hides in the dark. No matter how you call him, he will not come out." Several scenes are impressive. Dressing up as a bear and dancing, everyone slapped the table with wine glasses, and they laughed at each other. It was really terrifying, and the artistic expression was very strong. After the actor's tree was cut down, a little squirrel came out. It was really a stroke of genius. It was like "a butterfly resting on a bun", and the beauty and solemnity of life were combined. In the last scene, the god of death pulls everyone to dance, "dancing". This event is really full of energy and vitality, like a kind of extreme life, and the god of death pushes our lives to the extreme. We all dance in the shadow of death. I will remember those peaceful evenings.

  • Antonius Block: My whole life has been nothing but futile wandering, a great deal of words without meaning. I say that without bitterness or self-reproach, because I know it's the same for most men.
