"The God of Death 5" still continues the routine of the previous films. Before the first crisis comes, the protagonist can always foresee, save a group of friends, and then everyone will die one after another roughly according to the death list set by the god of death. But unlike the previous ones, which purely pursued blood and violence, this one has added elements of love and ethics, leaving more room for viewers to think. And work on the structure of the story.
The story begins with love as the starting point. Sam and Molly's relationship is in trouble. Sam will go to Paris to work, while Molly chooses to break up for the future of her lover. Pete and Olivia are about to get married. However, the god of death quietly approached the four young people and changed their original life trajectory. In times of crisis, Sam only has Jasmine in his heart, whether it is to take Jasmine with him all the time in the illusion, let Jasmine walk in front of him and put himself in danger, or take care of and protect Jasmine in reality and help her escape from Pete's threat, To help her escape from the clutches of death, she can feel the depth of love and the depth of love.
"Death is Coming 5" brings the complex and contradictory human nature to the audience. Not everyone is the incarnation of justice, and many people may have a demon living in their hearts, just waiting for the opportunity to wake up the demon. In this film, the executioner is no longer just an invisible and intangible god of death, but also a human being with flesh and blood, sentient and righteous. Pitt, who lost his love, did not try his best to save the life of his companions, break the order of death, and fight against death like the protagonists in the previous films. In order to survive, Pete did not hesitate to hurt his brother Sam, and chose to point the gun at Jasmine and let Jasmine die instead of him.
In addition to the plot content, the fifth part is also quite brilliant in the connection of the plot. Not a narration by survivors, not a rote legend, not news on TV, but setting the ending of the fifth story in the background of the first. The plane leading to death, from which the protagonist of the first part escaped, the protagonist of the fifth part did not.
The sensory stimulation brought by pure blood and violence can temporarily fill the empty soul, but the profound ideological connotation is the eternal antidote to the emptiness of the soul.
The final discussion of the "Death Comes" series of films is probably fatalism. Are life stories really written in advance? Who controls one's life? Can we break it? These are the questions that this film probably wants us to think about.
