How should I put it, I feel that this film is too metaphorical, and the overall style is particularly similar to the film style of the early montage school. What I like very much is the camera language and scene scheduling of this film. The director will organize rich camera words to tell the story. The style is very strong but also has a strong sense of voyeurism. Horses appear many times as a visual motif, and the epic spectacle also peeks into the hearts of the characters. When he resorted to it, he brought too much contemplation. The contradictions in it ranged from big to small, from self to external. In the final analysis, it was the struggle between rationality and sensibility, between humanity and divinity. Although the characters at the end are strong and fly to the sky in a balloon with the characters at the beginning, the atmosphere always brings about the insignificance of human beings and the power of overdrafting human life force. This very religious movie is reminiscent of Bergman's Movies and movies are all about the fate of human insignificance, but one is a firm belief and the other is a skeptical affirmation.
This movie belongs to the minority, and belongs to the minority of the Christian system. I think I have a little understanding of the Bible, but many of the metaphors in it are still unclear. Only those who firmly believe in God understand the hope and despair, the struggle and the entanglement in the camera.
Painting icons and bells, horses, the fall of hot air balloons, people running naked to celebrate festivals, killings in churches.
