After watching "Son of Sol", it's like a thick cumulonimbus cloud hanging low in the air, depressed and dull, unable to breathe, and that happy rain is always in the next second and that second will never come
In fact, this movie is not pleasing. I can only say that my first impression was not very good. One was that I didn’t understand it, and the other was that I thought it was impossible. This directly led to the one and a half hour movie that saw three hours of fatigue, but Since I have been reading a book about Jerusalem recently, I have been reading a lot of film reviews and I have a feeling that I can see the sun through the fog. The fun of this exploration made me secretly happy for a while.
The film tells the story of a Jew in a concentration camp in World War II, Sol, who wanted to bury a child in a Jewish way. No matter from any point of view, the concentration camp is basically equivalent to hell. Sol's work in hell is to carry and burn corpses and related clean-up work because he is late. Because the first scene I saw was that he was leaning on the iron door of the gas chamber. Inside was the cry of life dying. His eyes were numb.
From then on, his eyes began to focus. He watched the child recover his vital signs until his breath was taken away by the German army again, as if he had witnessed a miracle happen. Resurrection to Thor is nothing but an instruction from God, it is nothing like faith telling him that even in this hell where there is no humanity, no dignity and nothing, there is still a god.
what could he do if it was for his faith
I begged the doctor to leave a whole corpse for the child and risk his life to find a rabbi to save the corpse for a Jewish funeral for the child. Even disregarding the fate of other compatriots, he was paranoid to the point of madness. Dead and sacrificed so many of the living He said we were already dead He never thought of escaping the concentration camp to live He became a Nazi The knife in his hand has no will of his own The meaning of existence is to kill people just to live No soul has nothing to do with morality The walking dead are just lingering
I've been reading that book about Jerusalem and couldn't understand their worship of religion. Can you understand that? The destruction of a city, the suffering of countless people, will become the driving force for people's fanatical worship of God. The prophecy of the doomsday will make believers kneel in tears every day in Jerusalem. Perhaps it is in the presence of these "abominations of destruction" that faith will become more and more Gao Jie's miracle became a weak and inextinguishable pillar in the hell where there are many sorrows
At the end of the film, the rabbi that Thor saves with his life is the body of a fake child. With the running water, Thor's eyes lose focus again until a real boy with bright blond hair smiles at him. moving
At that moment I believed he had been redeemed
