I had to comfort her by saying that sometimes people die too suddenly, and people around them are not prepared. People who die unexpectedly always hurt their families more than those who die from chronic diseases.
I have to admit, I'm talking nonsense.
At the beginning of "Haeven" I always thought it was a culture clash movie about a white European doctor going to Africa to help. After watching it, I went to the film review and found that everyone was discussing topics such as "violence" and "conflict", and found that my comprehension was plummeting, and I didn't see it at all. I think this film is clearly discussing two little things and death. Violence or something, a tool to hide the fear of loneliness and death.
Elias kid is a bit idealistic. But people like the unrealistic stuff sometimes, so I'll admit, I love the Elias kid. The assigned role is "loneliness": bullied at school, isolated, without friends; at home, without a father, with no one to talk to. Finally one day I met Christian, a newly transferred classmate who didn't talk much, but was willing to be with me and stand out for myself. It is not difficult to understand this feeling like a moth to a flame. Sensitive Elias could easily detect the impending touch beneath the surface of Christian's indifference, but he had nowhere to say, nothing. Loneliness is scarier than danger.
Christian child, quite a leader. Reticent and arbitrary. The assigned role is "Despair". I watched him on the screen, and there was always a determination to go to the extreme. The little actors acted quite well, and even had a racist ruthlessness. Christian's ruthlessness probably stemmed from premature exposure to the death of a loved one, with no one telling him what to do. To make matters worse, he believes that his mother's death was caused by his father, and he "lost" two close relatives at the same time. So "loneliness" plus "death" became his despair. In the huge house, I chose the smallest bedroom, I chose the weakest classmate as a friend in the school, I chose the most violent way to get revenge, everything I did was extreme, but in despair, I was drinking poison to quench my thirst, and it became more and more terrible. .
Elias and Christian are fortunate to meet each other despite their struggles. There is a saying in "Stand by me", "I haven't had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. That's exactly what it means. There is no doubt about the far-reaching degree of mutual influence between the two small Wuguai, and of course, the power generated is also beyond doubt.
Anton, African Aid Doctor, Elias' dad. Refined on the surface but struggling inside. The assigned role is "confused". He thought he had taught his children what "victory" and "overcoming violence" were, but when he turned his face back to Africa (I think the director here is very unkind, using Africa as a metaphor for young and ignorant children), he found that some violence can only be solved by violence. As a result, I was slapped a lot in vain. He taught well, but he chose the wrong time. He couldn't solve the child's problem, but only made himself more confused.
Death is an eternal topic, an issue that all living things will eventually face. Sudden death is painful for another family, and so is a long death. Christian never came out of his mother's death. For a child to undergo chemotherapy after cancer, it is terrifying to see the vitality being slowly devoured. Instead, it is easier to accept simply pointing the mother's death to a sinner ("It was the father who killed the mother"). As a doctor, Anton has seen so many deaths that he thinks he can accept it, but his famous description of death in the film (sometimes you feel that there is such a white veil between you and death, when When you lose relatives or acquaintances, the white veil will slowly disappear, and you will see death more clearly, but it is only a short moment, and then the white veil will secretly come back, and you will regain your life. ) I think it's bullshit. On the contrary, the big red-eyed brother in Africa knew better.
Death is actually quite simple. Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter said that only those who have seen dead people can see Thestrals. I have to add, after seeing the Thestral, don't be afraid, touch it. The Thestral is a docile animal, the fear is always fear itself, and violence only makes fear more fearful.
A better world or something, it's actually not difficult, just know what you're afraid of.
