- Interpretation of the language of the
film "Grand Central Station" The poster advertisement of the film "Grand Central Station": a child is looking for his home, a woman is looking for her heart, this country is looking for its roots.
This is a story with a layered structure. On the surface, it is a journey of family love, but on the inside, it is a journey of soul, a journey of faith, and a journey of redemption. Almost all the important people came to save Dora, most of them were from the bible, and they were basically members of the family of Jesus, which Christianity calls the Holy Family.
Every shot of this film has a deep meaning.
In the first shot of the opening, the crowd of passengers getting off the train at Rio de Janeiro Central Station in Brazil pointed out the place where the story took place.
A fat woman said to the camera: Dear, I only have you in my heart. No matter how much you've done before, I love you. You have to transform with peace of mind, change your mind, and be a new person. My feelings for you will never change, I will wait for you to come out (return).
Who was this said to?
On the surface, she wrote a letter to her lover in prison, but in fact, she said it to all the audience, because the screen in the theater is very big, and this shot looks down on everyone in the theater. The fat woman's words mean forgiveness, who is forgiven? All sinful souls are forgiven, so the scene where she finished speaking was the flow of people getting off the bus behind bars. The prison window means prison, and it is hell. Everyone behind the prison window is guilty. The flow of people means all beings in the movie, and it means all the audience in the theater. They are the forgiveness of fat women. This is in hell crowd.
So who will forgive? - God (God). Christianity believes that man is born sinful, but God forgives all sins, only your soul can be saved.
Because modern people generally have no faith, and their souls are generally depraved.
An old man wants to thank someone who cheated him and took the keys to his apartment, which means blocking his way of faith and salvation, preventing him from opening the gates of heaven, but he is still willing to forgive.
The first of these two forgiveness comes from God and the second from Christian.
Christianity is broad and tolerant, and everyone can come in. Whether it is God or believers, they will forgive you, as long as you are willing to seek the Lord Jesus.
So the next shot is the letter to Jesus - looking for Jesus.
These are for all audiences, all who do not believe in Jesus and all who might believe in Jesus.
In terms of drama, the fat woman's words are addressed to the heroine, Dora, because she is a sinner.
This set of shots means that Dora is forgiven and all beings are forgiven.
The discordant marriage between Jesus and his wife Anna in the play symbolizes Dora's departure from Christ. Because nuns in Catholicism are customarily considered to be married to God, disharmony with Jesus of course symbolizes a departure from the Lord. It is precisely because of the departure that it is more necessary to seek.
The fat woman said that I will wait for you to come out (return), coming out of hell means leaving the sea of suffering and going to faith.
When Anna begged to write the letter, passengers continued to enter the underground passage, and they came down from above, which meant that there were more and more sinful souls in this world, and more and more souls poured into hell, and the hell was so crowded that it was almost impossible to stand. because no one believes in Jesus anymore.
In the director's design, Grand Central Station is a hell, Metropolitan Rio is a bigger hell, and a world without faith is the biggest hell.
The next person who asked to write a letter was a black young man, who was a homosexual. The earring on his right ear was his identity symbol. In his letter, he talked about the scene of making out with his lover. In the director's beliefs, in the Christian values, Homosexuality is sin, so he is also a sinner and needs to be saved.
Dora's common language with him means she's been a prostitute, which is yet another sin for Dora.
The girl below does not know the address of the recipient, this is a lost lamb. She casually said an address, and the next few people only said the address. These place names should all have meaning, but the Portuguese language is too difficult. But the common image of this group of shots is: looking for redemption, looking for Jesus. Because they are all sinners, these sinners together create an atmosphere of hell, Dora being with sinners means that Dora is a sinner, she lives in hell, she lives in punishment.
Dora had to pay protection fees every day, deal with all kinds of sinful people, and was exhausted from catching the train every day. The scene of her living environment on the way home, a row of dilapidated columns, she stepped into the depth of field. This shot also means hell, because the plane view is just the dilapidated pillars of the building, but in the depth view, she is walking towards the deep hell layer by layer. She lives at the bottom of society, this is her hell, her soul is full of deep sin, this is her greater hell.
Dora's home is dark, but it is heavenly bright outside, because her home is hell and needs the sunshine of love and the sunshine of faith to shine in.
Dora, who writes and sends letters on behalf of others every day, doesn't help others to send them out. Her fun when she gets home is to peek at other people's privacy and make fun of them, then tear up or keep the letter. This move has been criticized many times by her best friend Irene. Irene is a bright and brilliant person, which means integrity. Irene is derived from the goddess of peace in Greek mythology.
The first letter Dora read was a man's courtship letter, and it was not a pity to tear it up full of lies. At the same time, she also told the audience that this is a sinner, lying is sinful, and he needs redemption. In fact, the letter is implying that Dora is a liar, and she lies every day.
The second letter was written by Anna to Jesus. Irene refused to tear it up. Dora wanted to tear it up because she thought of her childhood. Jesus was an alcoholic who brought back the painful memory of her alcoholic father. But how can a letter to Jesus be torn up? Promise to send it tomorrow. Although it was not sent, it was kept.
The first letter is a lie, the second letter is to Jesus, and these two letters connected are sinners looking for redemption. In fact, it alludes to the sinner Dora's need for redemption. The third letter is about carnival, the bliss of sinners who find faith and find Jesus.
On the second day of the busy day, Dora continued to deceive people. The old customers knew that her name was still deceived by her. She shied away and said that there was a problem with the postal system in Brazil, which was also an opportunity to satirize the social reality. Dora being called Miss means that she has no marriage and family, her life is a failure and an unfortunate one, and she needs to be redeemed.
Anna asked to rewrite the letter, and Dora charged her two dollars. At this time, a missionary's voice was cut in: My salvation and my glory depend on God.
It's a voice from God, and it means Dora's judgment, because she lied and deceived again and got worse, not to mention that she deceived the Lord Jesus again! The child Joshua expressed doubts at the time that she would not send the letter.
Anna was hit and killed, her child was homeless, and there were occasional indifferent eyes in the crowd. Rio is an indifferent city.
Joshua asked Dora to write a letter, and Dora first asked if she had money, and she would quit without money. The child asked to return the mother's letter and was driven away by the lying Dora. Dora gets on the train and the child is still staring at him, the door is closed. The close-up of the child is in the narrow crack of the door, like a judge.
There is a statue of the Virgin at the station, which is a symbol of maternal love and redemption, but the child cannot be saved, and the station is about to close. The statue of the Virgin is where Dora works every day, a woman without faith, she is doing evil beside the Virgin! Children sleep on the streets. When Dora saw it and gave him something to eat, she seemed to suddenly become a good person. In fact, she had other plans.
When Dora was working the next day, a thief was easily beaten to death, again emphasizing that this was a hell, and Rio, where the law and order was chaotic and had a high crime rate, was a hell. Before the thief is killed, there is a scene where the peddler's scissors are inserted into the board, foreshadowing a killing.
The black boss Pedro asked the child, Dora said she knew him, so the two of them negotiated, we couldn't hear what deals they were doing, but God can hear, that round window means surveillance, I think it should be called: Raise your head three feet and there is a god. The whispers in the world are like thunder in the sky, the dark room deceives the heart, and the eyes of the gods are like lightning. Don't think that when you do bad things no one sees and no one knows, God is watching you because God is everywhere.
Dora proposed to take the child home and gave him a ticket. It seemed that she had a sudden kindness, but in fact she wanted to abduct him.
The painting of Dora's house means that she longs for a home, and there is still a way home, and the image of the Virgin means that she can still obtain redemption. In the group photo of students, Dora is the winner. Her nature is not bad, and she was also a good student when she was a child.
The connection between the photo and the two paintings means that Dora is not bad by nature and can be saved. Faith is her way home.
In fact, this movie Dora's soulful journey to find her faith is her way home.
Christianity calls faith home, and now there are often expressions such as spiritual home and soul home, all of which come from Christianity.
In the conversation between the three of Dora's family, Joshua mentioned that his father was a carpenter, which was obviously telling the audience that this Jesus was the Lord Jesus, because the Lord Jesus was a carpenter.
The fathers of the two women are both alcoholics, and they are both single, but one is good and the other is evil, which shows that the path of life can be chosen.
The child finds the mother's letter, and Dora promises to send it tomorrow, but in fact she is playing tricks. The child was taken to the traffickers the next day. When she got 1,000 yuan, her eyes lit up.
The big color TV was bought, and Irene immediately realized that the source of the money was unknown. Dora also deceived herself and said that it was for the children's good. Irene said that there must be a bottom line to be a human being, and it was difficult for Dora to calm down. She was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and the lights on the ceiling showed that the lights were on and off. The light represented good and the dark represented evil, good-evil-good-evil-good-evil. This was Dora's inner struggle. Then she has a choice.
The 462 rooms where the traffickers live should be meaningful, but unfortunately I can't find it. I think it should be from the Bible or teachings.
The next day she cleverly stole the child, and Dora, who had done a good deed, was not trusted by the child, because Joshua always thought she was a bad person, in fact, she was, at least before.
The car drove over the iron bridge, the bridge had guardrails, and it was a very high guardrail, it was more like the iron fence of a prison, and then the car drove out of the iron bridge like Noah's Ark (representing salvation), symbolizing getting out After hell, out of darkness, the next shot is dawn. It also means the awakening of Dora's soul.
In the car they discussed which passenger looks like a father, because they are all fatherless people, the father at home, the priest in the church, the father in the sky (God), they are all fathers, which is a homophonic pun, so looking for a father means looking for Jesus Find faith.
Then Dora used the metaphor of a car and a taxi to tell the tragedy of the family. Her father cheated and lost her mother at the age of nine. Her father was drinking and didn't care about her. This also explained that the reason for her deterioration was the lack of love and the lack of family happiness.
The child was scolded by Dora for being drunk. She was an alcoholic since she was a child. Isn't she following her father's old path? That's why Dora reacted so violently.
During the stop, Dora was about to get out of the car. She planned to drop off the child and return there. In the close-up, she can be seen stuffing money in the child's bag. Unexpectedly, the child also got off the bus. The child kept rejecting her and wanted to leave alone, but at this time, she stuck with her instead. The bag and money are in the car. Dora's money bought a return ticket, but the car has already left and the ticket cannot be refunded.
At this point a brown goat comes into view. In the Christian faith, pure believers are pure white lambs, and the devil is a black goat. Dora's belief at this time is not firm, half-believing, between black and white, so the brown goat symbolizes Dora at this time, the road of faith How difficult it is to walk limping.
There's also a pig, maybe a pagan, or someone who doesn't believe in it.
One young man with no money and no tickets met Caesar, a kind-hearted truck driver who made his car home. The text behind the car should point to redemption, but the Portuguese is really incomprehensible. Caesar told supermarket owner Bennet: "It's a good phenomenon that children are converted to Christianity from an early age. Ironically, children are stealing things.
Dora scolded him and asked him to hand over something to give it back to others. In fact, she stole more. Children can't be polluted. She is a bad person and doesn't care about doing such a bad thing. She uses her own stealing to protect the child's purity. When asked to search, Caesar protected her, a gentleman.
Dora gave the stolen food to the child. The child accused her of stealing. The two had an argument. The child said that her mother never drank. Dora called your father an alcoholic. Dora is old and ugly and deceitful, like a man who never wears lipstick, and Irene is much prettier than you.
This paragraph seems to be in conflict again between the two, and it is very difficult to achieve harmony. In fact, the real meaning is: the child loves his parents and defends his love, while Dora is unlovable, she has no husband and no children, and she is long with her father She cut off contact. She had no love at all in her heart. She didn't love the Lord, her father, no one, not even herself, because she didn't wear lipstick. The way a woman loves herself is to love beauty. Which woman doesn't love beauty, no matter how ugly she looks, if she doesn't love beauty, she doesn't love herself.
Fortunately, she has begun to learn to love.
There is a line on the front glass of the car: I am loyal to my beliefs. Remind that this is a path of faith, and the child sits on Caesar's lap like a happy family of three, which implies that Dora longs for a happy family in her heart.
Soon, Dora and Caesar appear to be in love. But the conversation that they may never see each other again after the breakup hints that the two are inseparable. In the early morning when Caesar washed his face, Dora looked at him so far away that it seemed so far away.
A statue of Jesus appeared at the front of the car, which was not there before, reminding the audience that Dora had embarked on the road of faith and the road of redemption.
The text on the toilet wall and the text on the wall in the future should all be related to the salvation of faith, similar to the wall of the church. Child says women in Rio all have sex with men before marriage, which is depraved and sinful, universally unchaste, again reminding big city Rio is a hell. The director's morals are more conservative.
When ordering, she was mistaken for a family of three by the waiter. They really looked alike. She took care of her child as if she was scolding her own son. The painting on the wall behind Dora is a symbol of home, the worldly home, the house and the children, that is what her heart desires. She held Caesar's hand, and her inner desire was reflected in the painting behind her. Dora said that she was fortunate to miss the return bus, and how eager she was to build a family.
The child walks to another wall, another painting that suggests home. The child is playing games in front of this painting. This triangular lens of opposites shows that this family is impossible to build. The child looks at them coldly and reminds silently: Home is here, this is the way home, this is the way to go home. is the way of faith.
Dora washes herself and puts on lipstick, but Caesar leaves without saying goodbye. On the surface, it seems that Dora's frivolity is direct, old, ugly and deceitful, which discourages the holy Caesar. Dora and the child also discussed the reason. In fact, the real meaning is: worldly love cannot lead her to faith. Jesus said: God's to God, Caesar's to Caesar. It means that faith and the secular are two paths. All the important characters in this movie have names from the Bible, and they are all leading Dora to faith and salvation, but Caesar cannot, because he represents the secular, and his love for God is greater than that of the secular. Love, so Caesar will leave. In the movie, the secular and the faith are opposed, just to show that the theme of pursuing faith can be paralleled in life, but the capacity of the movie is limited, and expressing too many themes will cause confusion.
Their discussion represents the doubts of the audience.
There is a small hole in the tower behind the two, and there are little people symbolizing Jesus and the Virgin, suggesting that Dora was guided by Jesus and has been looking for a way of faith.
The child praised her for her beautiful lipstick, the child began to like her, and the relationship improved.
When they get into the funeral car, the Chinese will feel unlucky, but in the eyes of Christianity, death is returning to the embrace of the Lord, and faith is also returning to the embrace of the Lord, so this still leads them to faith.
After they got off the car, they sat on the hillside and chatted. The child said that my father would take me to see the desert. It was his longing to see my father, but that was just an imaginary "father". The image of the desert was illusory, indicating that in the next episode The phantom of home.
Then tied my mother's handkerchief to the wishing post in front of the white chapel. God is a witness. It was Dora's covenant with God.
When she was about to see her father, she hesitated. Dora asked the child if she wanted to give up. How could she give up when she saw her father? In fact, it is implied that Dora may give up in her pursuit of faith to find the Lord Jesus. The child excused himself not to be seen as dirty and like a wild child. Dora said that no matter what you are, he will definitely like you. God loves the world without conditions. No matter what you are, the Lord will love you.
They found Jesus' house, but Jesus had moved, and the new owner was called Jesse, and the hostess was called Mary. This is to remind them that they are getting closer and closer to Jesus, because in the Bible, Jesse is the ancestor of Jesus. There is a Bible painting called "The Tree of Jesse". The branches of the tree are all descendants of his family. The middle branch is Mary embracing the Son, so the presence of Jesse and Mary in a family here is a reminder that they are very close to Jesus.
Joshua leaving Jesse's home is the opposite of that picture, he feels unaccepted, this worldly home is not his home.
In the mouths of others, Jesus was an alcoholic who was drunk all day, and was rejected by everyone. How could the world understand Jesus? God always appears in an incredible face. Jesse, on the other hand, said that Jesus' drinking and gambling mirrored the father figure in Dora's mind.
Dora did not find Jesus and complained, and the two quarreled again. It seemed that the two of them were really in harmony, but in fact they were all for the purpose of transferring to the following. They were lost in bizarre religious gatherings, all kinds of oaths, all kinds of icons, all kinds of worship, all kinds of grand ceremonies, and Dora passed out.
Can these activities lead to redemption? Obviously not. The real church is the spirit of Jesus, and the real faith comes from the Bible. Can all the wonderful church societies in the world lead believers to the truth? This is not a holy place, just like Xiaoleiyin Temple is not a Western Heaven.
The next morning hawker commented on Dora's collapse: Surviving here is a very difficult thing, doing business is even more difficult, this is not an ordinary market, this is a place where lunatics gather, here is The bazaar of devils and dealers is Satan's carnival ball, and he's rejoicing in hell.
So that religious gathering is another form of hell where wrong beliefs cannot lead people on the right path. Dora searches for faith all the way, but blind faith only leads people astray. So Dora would pass out.
This paragraph tells the audience that churches or associations cannot lead people to true faith. There are more than 1,000 Christian denominations, large and small, in the world, and churches and associations are even more numerous. Can they lead people to faith? As far as the movies are concerned, they can be chaotic and even lead to cults. The director reminds the audience that faith is hard. Of course, formal churches can still be trusted.
There is also a cross worshipped by everyone in the market center, which verifies the sale.
Throwing stones together indicates a harmonious relationship.
The two people who had no money sat on the side of the road, the child came up with an idea, and the clever child was very business-minded. Some people are in the business of taking pictures with icons, and they are writing letters on their behalf, beside the icons. But who are these people writing to? What was written?
They are all written to the Lord Jesus, either directly or indirectly; they are all expressing gratitude and happiness because of their faith. One of the old men called out to the wanderer who had not returned for four years, a lost lamb. A girl wrote to her mother Mary, and the boy also mentioned Joseph and Mary, the parents of Jesus. A girl wrote to her fiancé at St. Paul, alluding to the apostle Paul.
One of these grateful believers thanked the Lord for letting her husband stop drinking alcohol, reflecting Dora's inner father image and implying Dora's inner rejection of alcoholics.
It started with forgiveness and searching for redemption, and now it’s time to be grateful. These are the reflections of Dora's soul, her soul's growth, and her soul's getting closer to the Lord Jesus. In fact, almost everyone Dora encountered along the way was a reflection or realization of her soul.
The words of these letter writers should be read together, and their words together constitute a complete letter, which is Dora's heartfelt gratitude. Because it is impossible for the audience to directly see the human soul, the director uses the external environment to map Dora's inner world.
Because the icon is right next to it, it means that the faith of the people was received by the Lord Jesus, and the voice of Dora was heard by the Lord Jesus.
They took a photo with the icon, and it was a deadly shot. I'll talk about it later.
The child would throw away or tear up the letter according to Dora's habit, but Dora was no longer willing to do bad things. When going to bed, little broken children start to brag about their so-called sexual experiences, and sleeping together means trust and intimacy, just like a mother-son conversation, where a son brags to his mother.
Dora actually delivered the letter to the post office this time. They got on a country bus. Although the cocks were croaking and noisy, it was full of warm and rich life atmosphere. This is the happiness that comes from faith.
When getting out of the car, the two people in front of the canteen talked: That's not easy to see. Where can I get those things now? I think you still want to think of something else, don't wait any longer.
The seemingly irrelevant two people are actually suggesting that Dora's future is difficult to find faith, just like persuading Dora: Who still has faith now? What Jesus do you believe in! There is no Jesus!
This also implies that Dora has some hesitation at this time, and she is uncertain about the way forward.
On the way, the two talked about running away from home at the age of sixteen, adding the reasons for the deterioration and her unbearable growth experience, reuniting with her father, and her father did not recognize her because she was a prostitute at the time, and her father was a drunk, middle-aged A man calls a strange young woman a great beauty, and you can imagine how enchanting she was at that time. Dora is also worried about losing the love of her children because of the fact that she longs for a loving family.
Both of them forgot what their father looked like, implying that Dora was so far away from the Lord that she could not recognize the face of the Lord. Because Brazil is a Catholic country, and 73% of the citizens believe in Catholicism, we have reason to believe that Dora herself is a Christian, but she has turned away from the Lord for too long.
I found another home of Jesus. There is a number 869 on the wall, which should still be from the Bible. Jesus doesn't live here anymore. It seems that Jesus can no longer be found, and Dora hopes to take the children away, they are already relatives.
Dora called Irene and said that she wanted to take the child back. Irene praised him highly. Dora said that he was a very good child, as if the child had never contradicted her. Irene persuaded her to bring the child back, she might not be sure, because she had never been responsible for herself in her life, she had made many mistakes in her life, and she had to be careful about this important decision.
The sons of Jesus appeared, Isaiah and Moses. These are the two greatest prophets in the Bible, the most humble servants of God, they are the closest to the Lord and the most oriented to faith. "Isaiah" means Jehovah save. At this level, Dora is very close to the Lord.
It was easy to find Jesus' home, but the child couldn't believe it, and Isaiah's lines were also being interpreted: There are too many liars in Rio. Dora said there are liars everywhere. So children can't believe it easily, but Dora can't believe it easily. This implies that Dora was not worried about being deceived, but that she could not believe that she had found Jesus' home and reached the Lord's side.
Moses has received the true inheritance of his father, and his craftsmanship is better than that of his father. Fully understanding the Bible, the best communication with God, can naturally be a great prophet and a teacher of mankind. Here it is implied that Dora has found faith and is close to God.
The Moses brothers discussed that their father's drinking and running away reflected Dora's inner father image. After a divorce, he drank heavily and got lost in alcohol, which was the source of the family's misfortune. It also means Dora's confession before the Lord Jesus.
The three brothers quickly merged. Jesus' letter to Anna showed the belief that they would be reunited soon. Jesus never gave up on Anna, but it was Dora who really received the letter. At this time, Dora and Anna overlapped into one person, implying that Jesus never gave up on Dora.
The letter also implies that after Dora ran away, the father also searched hard. Behind the letter was an elderly, lonely father who longed for his daughter to return to tears. This is an old man's call and confession to his daughter.
This letter is from both Dora's biological father and her heavenly father. Father loves Dora, Father loves Dora. In the letter, Jesus called Anna little girl, isn't that the father calling Dora? She was only 16 years old when she ran away from home, and she has always been the little girl in her father's heart. The absurd father in his early years longed for the return of family affection and the return of love.
So at the end of the letter: I just want to be with you in my life (sadly the old man has passed away).
This line also echoes the words of the fat woman at the beginning of the film. The fat woman said: My feelings for you will never change, I will wait for you to come out (return). So the words of the fat woman are both the call of the father and the call of God. This reply letter is the Lord's reply, the Lord's promise: the Lord Jesus will always be with you.
These two letters mean the Gospels.
Note: It started with Dora writing to Jesus on behalf of Anna, and now it is Dora reading Jesus' reply on Anna's behalf. In fact, Anna is not important, she is just a medium, it is Dora and Jesus communicating, the exchange of souls.
Isaiah said Dad would come back, Moses said never, and Joshua said: One day he will come back. The dialogue of the three brothers reflects Dora's inner changes, believing - hesitating - firm.
Isaiah asked Joshua to speak tongue twisters and scolded him for being stupid. This is a casual attitude that only brothers can have. It means harmony and reflects Dora's inner harmony because of her faith. Dora slept in Jesus' bed and was infinitely close to the Lord Jesus. Putting lipstick on her face in the mirror is like a ritual, similar to bathing and dressing in China, she wants to approach the Lord in the most beautiful state.
The child found a home. Dora solemnly placed the two Gospels under the portrait of Jesus, and left full of energy. Did she find Jesus?
Jesus is also God, who can see God with his own eyes? Dora embarked on the road of faith, that is, she lived in the Lord, and the Lord was with her, so Jesus would not appear.
But the director had already clearly told the audience that Dora had already seen Jesus.
Look at that photo, the icon represents God and Jesus, because the Father and the Son are one body, but God is the Holy Father, Son, Holy Spirit Trinity, where is the Holy Spirit?
"Joshua" means: The Holy Spirit is in the heart. It means that Dora has the Holy Spirit in her heart.
So Dora was with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Father means virtue, the Son means wisdom, and the Holy Spirit means love. To believe in the Father is to have virtue, to seek Jesus is to seek wisdom, and to be with the Holy Spirit is to be filled with love.
The Holy Spirit is the only one of the Trinity who can perform salvation and regenerate. The Holy Spirit came to reveal and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and guide us into all truth. So, Dora was saved by love from Christianity.
On the surface, it seems that Dora escorted the orphan all the way to find her father, but in fact, Dora found wisdom and faith under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and obtained the rebirth of her soul. With faith, Dora has a whole new life, a real life.
In that group photo, there is a frame in front of the icon, representing the church or the temple, behind him there are colored lights on the curtain to represent the stars, and behind the child there is a doll, which represents an angel. This is clearly heaven!
Moreover, when they took pictures, they were dolls, but there was an interloper, a real girl, in the pictures. This shows that the Christian heaven is both heavenly and earthly, spiritual and secular. Moreover, the doll was hidden behind, and the real girl was revealed, indicating that heaven is on earth, and the heaven in belief and the heaven on earth overlap.
Because faith makes people understand love, where there is love is heaven. Faith cannot exist apart from reality, it must pay attention to real life to make sense.
Dora began to miss her hapless father. The images of Dora's father and the Lord Jesus overlap, and they are both alcoholics on the surface. The father does not appear in the movie, he has been hidden in the shadow of Jesus. Loving the father is the same as loving the Lord. Jesus is an alcoholic, which was originally the reflection of the father image in Dora's heart.
Because what kind of life you have, what kind of soul you have, what kind of Jesus is in your heart.
The reason why people get lost, fall, and go astray is often because of the lack of fatherly love in childhood, and the lack of compensation when they grow up, and Jesus is the father of all mankind, the heart of all mankind, and the guardian of all mankind. . Faith and love for Jesus also awakened Dora's love for her biological father, but her father was dead and there was no biological father to love. Dora projected her full love on the Lord Jesus. This was her compensation and a lot. The psychological roots of people's beliefs.
Although she has lost her biological father, Dora found the Lord Jesus and found her spiritual father through faith, so she has perfect humanity and a holy heart, which is the return of Dora's soul.
Dora has experienced vicissitudes of life, lost her mother since childhood, ran away from home when she was a girl, worked as a prostitute, worked as a teacher, had a desolate old age, was kidnapped in the station pit, and finally found happiness through faith and got rid of the miserable life. Looking at the heaven in the picture, the heaven in the little box, the heaven in her soul, Dora sheds tears of happiness because she lives in love.
Dora, Greek, gift from God. On the surface, Dora is Joshua's gift and his guardian angel, but the real meaning is: Faith is the greatest and most beautiful gift from God to mankind.
Christianity is so great, I say: Religion is the soul of human civilization, and religion is the destination of human civilization.
Buddhism is the wisest religion and Christianity the greatest religion.
Buddhism is about wisdom and liberation, Christianity is about life and love.
Out of habit of thinking, the Chinese are also the way of thinking of many people who think they are learned. They will ask: should good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell?
Westerners who are unbelievers, who deviate from Christianity, and who are atheists are all in the same or similar way of thinking.
In fact, this is fundamentally wrong. They are all tempting God and making deals with God. These are the actions of the devil.
Correct interpretation: Faith itself is heaven, goodness itself is grace; desire itself is hell, and evil itself is punishment. This is the Christian worldview and values!
The essence of Christian belief is: self-seeking, self-discovery, self-salvation, and self-awakening under the guidance of truth. This is a road, a road to awakening the soul. This is the real life course. Human beings complete their sacred mission through faith. This is the final destination of life.
Faith is not elsewhere. Faith comes from within life. Whether there is a savior who can save you is no longer important. If you are a Christian, and you think that God is an objective existence, I respect your faith: if you are a layman , Atheist, you can think that God is a symbolic existence of objectification of human subjective spirit, I also respect your thinking. What matters is that God or Jesus is a symbol or epitome of the spirit of all mankind.
Jesus can show you the way, but you have to find it on your own to open the gates of heaven. On the way of pursuit, everyone may get lost, may go astray, we need guidance, this is faith, this is Jesus, this is God. God is in the deepest part of human nature, and there is heaven.
The main characters appearing in this film are almost all on behalf of Christianity, all to save Dora, they are the grandmother St. Anne (St. Anne), the Virgin Mary, the adoptive father St. Joseph, the patriarch Jesse, the apostle St. Paul, leading Moses, the prophet Isaiah. They are the family, heirs and servants of Jesus, or the Holy Family for short. This is Dora's journey of redemption. Of course, she has to seek it out on her own to avoid getting lost, to approach the Holy Family, and to approach the Lord Jesus.
From the plot point of view, the film is about the emotional story of a woman and a child, who go from hostile relationship to becoming relatives; from the perspective of inner image, the director shows us Dora's soul mirror image with incredible artistic technique, This is also the mirror image of the soul of any explorer. Everyone can see their own soul and see their inner world from the mirror image. Each of us has the common sense of physical mirroring in life. The optical phenomenon in the mirror refracts the entity outside the mirror, and the magic of this movie is that it uses the language of the lens to refract the truth of the character's soul. Almost everyone that Dora meets along the way is a reflection or realization of her soul. This is Dora's journey of faith from hell through purgatory to heaven. Dora lives in the hell at the bottom of society. She is a sinner in the hell of the soul. She saves herself from hell by helping her children.
Dora's journey of redemption means purgatory, and purgatory is also called the pure world, which is the realm where the soul washes its sins.
Dora has washed away her sins along the way and has a heart of truth, goodness and beauty. This is called soul salvation, or it can also be called resurrection. In the end, I found my own paradise through faith, and that group photo was a deadly shot.
Only when we understand these can we truly understand Christianity and the true meaning of faith, because each of us is Dora. This is the greatness of Christianity. There is no superstition in religion, only wisdom. The reason why religion is confused with superstition is only the limitation of human's own level of knowledge. There are still many things in religion that we don't know. Our education is too ideological, and our vision and thinking are blocked. It is very unwise to simply and crudely confuse religion with superstition.
Poster ad for the movie: A child is looking for his home, a woman is looking for her heart, this country is looking for its roots.
The image of a child looking for a home is superficial. A woman's search for faith is to find her heart. In fact, a child's search for a home is a symbol of a woman's search for faith. The important thing is that faith is the foundation of a country, and of course it is the foundation of a country. With faith, the entire nation will not be degenerate, and the country will have hope.
This is the director's call to Brazil, but also to all mankind.
So this movie belongs to all mankind, and many people say it is the best movie to watch.
The image of the spinning top:
symbolizing the development of the relationship between the child and Dora. In the beginning, Joshua stabbed her board again and again, and Dora pulled it out again and again. It was an incompatible relationship. Anna's car accident and the falling of the top meant that the child had lost his family. When they arrived at Jesus' home, Dora and the child were already together. Loved ones, so a new top is done again.
About the imagery of the painting:
1. The painting in Dora's house symbolizes the way home, which is the call of the kingdom of heaven.
2. The paintings on the wall during dinner still symbolize the way home, but there is only home but no way in the paintings. That is because they are already on the way to pursue, so the way in the paintings is omitted. Two paintings, one representing the worldly home and one representing the religious home, and Dora had to make a choice.
3. The road in front of the old home of the first Jesus obviously coincides with the painting of Dora's house, but the secular home is not her destination, so the child left in despair.
4. Dora finally left. The car was on the road. There was a castle on the top of the hill in the distance, which symbolized heaven. Dora finally took the road to heaven. This shot also overlaps the painting. This is Dora's way home, and it is also a metaphor for the nation's way out, because the fat woman's words at the beginning are aimed at all audiences.
About the layer structure:
1. There are stories in the story, a story has multiple connotations, the overlapping stories are organically unified, and the narrative is natural and smooth without being far-fetched.
2. The imagery is rich and profound, the storyline of the surface imagery is independent and complete, and the theme of the deep imagery is larger and more important.
3. A lot of subtext, and the subtext is self-contained.
4. The poster ad implies that the film is a triple layer: shallow imagery, deep imagery, extended imagery.
"Central Station" is the reverse story of "There Will Be Blood", it should be seen in contrast, one is a departure from the Lord, and the other is a search for the Lord.
Note: Some Portuguese names and places are really impossible to find, but it is certain that they should all be related to faith, redemption, testimony or gratitude. In particular, room 462 of the hotel where the traffickers live, I guess it has something to do with hell and punishment. The wall 869 on the door of Jesus' house should have something to do with heaven and grace, but I couldn't find any theoretical support. The church consulted the pastor, and went to the True Jesus Church to see the deacon and elders, but I couldn't find a reasonable explanation. I can't help but say that it is a great regret. I urge the experts to give me advice on the Internet, and I am very grateful. .
