"Breaking the Waves" is a sad film about the love and crying of a person's soul. It has the broadness of "my soul sings praises to you because it loves you" (Augustinian), and it also sacrifices itself because of love for you, and even sacrifices itself. The tragic beauty of the sacrifice of life.
The bride Beth has a beautiful soul, and she is desperate for the love in her heart. It is reflected in the content of the film that Beth is for Jane, and in order to increase the probability and possibility of Jane's life, she does not hesitate to give up her own life again and again. body, and these behaviors are a kind of heinous "sin" in a small town, under the social and legal background of Christian morality; of course, Beth can also recognize that selling her body to a man who is not her husband Sin is also in a moral and ethical paradoxical predicament, but loving Jane and keeping Jane alive are the ultimate beliefs of Beth's life. Beth walks to God through constant prayers from her own soul. In the dilemma, a balance was established, and this balance came from Beth herself creating a new God in her heart, a God who could keep Jane alive because of her own sacrifice, and a God "enough for herself" used God".
At the same time, other people in the town, pastors, elders, those children, including Beth's mother, live in a "closed God". Goodness, like candlelight in a stone house, cannot be opened to the whole world, and eventually, a "closed God" will imprison their souls and teach them to use their narrow minds only to judge that so-and-so should go to hell and who should be can go to heaven.
The film finally ruthlessly mocks and subverts this "closed God". The mediocre and closed God finally fell apart and was replaced by the most beautiful "fairy tale of love". In the end, Beth's body was not buried in the ground and was cursed by the priests and elders, but was buried in the sea by Jane (in Beth's love, Jane survived and miraculously had the ability to move), and finally, Beth was buried in the sea. Si, the "God who is enough for herself", rang the bell in heaven and sent a belated blessing for the sorrowful love of two people.
Beth's "love" has become "holy love", and her losses have become complete. Her reckless love has been proved by monumental power - "sacred miracle".
