The film has to explore many issues, about bravery and cowardice, about school bullying of teenagers, about love, betrayal and forgiveness, about friendship, family affection, and about death.
Indeed, a good movie can purify people's hearts, and there are many feelings in the heart after watching it. The visual impact of the film is great, and there are many magnificent scenes: the sunset in the African desert, the wheat fields, lakes and sky forests in Sweden's hometown, all of which give people the feeling of vastness and boundless nature, personal feelings, worry about love or not. , In the boundless nature, it feels insignificant and worth mentioning, so people who are broken-hearted go to a vast and boundless place, where they feel like a speck of dust.
Bravery is not bravery. Through the growth of two teenagers with different personalities and the words and deeds of Elias' father, the film interprets what real bravery is. Bravery is saying no to violence, but it is not as aggressive as Christian. Regardless of the consequences, of course, the film does not give a clear answer to how to deal with school violence, nor does it give a clear answer to true bravery. There is no doubt that Elias' father is a truly mature and brave person, but his attitude towards violence is Is it appropriate? To a scumbag, do you just stay away from him, don't have the same knowledge as him, and even allow him to attack yourself? So, who wants to teach him a lesson when such a person is rampant and domineering?
Elias's mother is not beautiful, not at all, but she has a real personality and is still very attractive. After all, Elias' father can't let her go. Therefore, women, the truth is very important, and the truth should not be artificial.
Regarding family affection, the two teenagers are very lucky to have parents who love them, but Christian has hatred for his father's misunderstanding, so he does things extremely extreme, even putting his life and death aside.
The film also touches on death and humanity a little bit. Christian's mother was in the late stages of her illness and had a very bad temper, and her body was also in great pain. His father had reached the limit of his endurance. He hoped that his wife would be relieved. I hoped to be free, so I gave up the treatment. The teenager Christian couldn't understand it at first, and felt that his father wanted his mother to die. At the end of the film, Christian himself also experienced the life and death of his friend and reached a reconciliation with his father.
The whole film is touching and sobering. But some issues remain unresolved.
