The human nature in the film has been distorted by religious stubbornness. They just wear a sane mask and do selfish things in the name of religion. What they see is only the superficiality and vulgarity of the world, and they cannot see the most beautiful fantasy and love in people's hearts.
The complexity of human nature presented in Lars von Trier's lens is naked and pale. While questioning religion, he is also sympathizing with the purest and most sincere love in the world. But when the final bell rang, it was the heroine herself ringing the bell for herself, and that was the only thing she could do.
