Tell me about the background of watching this movie. I participated in a movie viewing event and watched it with a dozen people in a cafe. Then the organizer gave a brief introduction before the screening. Because it was a bit noisy at the beginning, I could hardly hear it clearly, but I heard the word "mythical", so I watched this movie with the premise of "God".
"The Return" does have a mythical feel to it, one that is full of realistic metaphors. Everywhere in the film reflects a seemingly ordinary event such as family and life, but there seems to be a complete theological event hidden behind it, which will make people discover that their life is full of undiscovered divinity. Of course, the reflection of the Soviet social phenomenon reflected in the film, I will not discuss these.
The director objectively described the metaphors of divinity and religious sense, conveying his emotional cognition of religion and society. At the end of the film, when the father's body sank into the sea, there is a sense of divine demise. The final photo also reflects this. There is no father, which means that in reality, in modern society, it is almost impossible for us to prove the truth of God. existed in this world. The appearance of my father is also, the picture is very intuitive to let me, an oriental person, see the feeling of Jesus. Later I heard that it was similar to the famous painting "The Dead Christ". Personally, I think this scene in the movie is mainly intended to show the birth of the god from the storyline. The white feathers fall from his ears, and he lies there quietly, which is full of reverie, very literary and mysterious. When the face wanders, the audience can use countless adjectives to associate, and I personally like this scene very much. Just imagine, when we grow up to have a certain self-awareness, the elders tell you that you can believe in a religion. In the movie, two little boys will suddenly hear their mother say: Don't make a noise, father is sleeping. The performance of the mother in this scene is very expressive. She is a very universal female image in the patriarchal society, and can also be understood as a devout believer in religion. The arrangement of the seats on the dining table, the arrangement of the scenes, and the sacrifice of my mother made me more sure of the image of my father as a "god".
The two sons in the film, a devout conservative and a fanatical revolutionary, are a clear left-to-right opposition. When the two sons saw their father, the younger son's act of looking for the photo at the first time directly showed his left-leaning skeptical and rebellious character (it is very interesting to suspect that the father is our father). From this point of view, most of the plots in the film are showing such opposition. The obedience of the eldest son, the vexatiousness of the younger son is free. What impressed me was that the father took the eldest son to climb up the lighthouse to see the scenery, while the younger son saw a dead seagull on the ground, as if he had given up his divinity to the bottom, the empathy between mortals, the high and the low. The contrasting metaphor of is showing the different landscapes between the divine and the atheistic.
