European movies cannot be easily watched!
Because, you never know what pit you are in. "The World Changer", "Victoria", and "She" I watched a while ago, infinitely challenging my three views and movie viewing habits with different styles. By the way, I finally gave up on "the person who changed the world" and couldn't stand it any longer.
This time I want to introduce another European film, the Belgian "Super New Testament". To describe it with a big brain hole, I think it's too childish, and the brain hole of European movies has never been small. If God is a code farmer, a keyboard warrior, and you think this is nothing, then let me tell you, God has a ten-year-old daughter, I don't know what you think?
The protagonist of the film is the daughter of God, a ten-year-old girl. Her father was a grumpy, arrogant, and even violent old man who wore pajamas all day. Her mother was a sloppy, timid and cowardly housewife who was obedient to her husband. Her brother, Jesus, had long since left home. God's job is to sit in a big room, facing a computer, and set all kinds of rules every day, and those rules are of course for human use. He didn't allow anyone in the family to enter the room, kicking the keys on the belt of his pants all day. When not working, he would watch sports with the TV, drink alcohol, and then fall asleep. Of course there are also some sports, such as wife and daughter beating.
God does not have any divine power, except for the computer, he is useless, and his daughter Yiya has never looked down on this father. Their home was an old and lifeless suite with no doors to the outside world, and behind every door was always a room.
After being beaten up again by her father, yes, God used an axe to split the door of her daughter's room and then whipped Yiya with a leather whip (this should be a tribute to "Blood and Ice") , Yiya decided to take revenge God. She stole the key while her father was drunk and fell asleep and entered the mysterious big room.
Use the computer to send everyone's time of death in full. Then she randomly selected the files of six people as her future disciples, and Yiya escaped from the passage that Jesus left for her.
I'm sorry that there are no wonderful bridges where angels fall into the mortal world. The passage that Jesus left for Elijah is just a washing machine tank, and at the other end of the passage is a human laundromat. After a period of difficult crawling, Yiya fell out of a washing machine in a laundromat, completing her feat of landing in the world. This section is quite interesting, as if the child crawled out of the mother's birth canal with difficulty, and the appearance of birth is always a bit embarrassing.
The world was also messed up by Yiya at this time. Remember, the little girl sent everyone the date of death before she left. This is not very kind. A young girl in bloom may not live as long as an old man on a sick bed, and every day in the future will become a torment. Some people saw the countdown of seconds directly, and then they were hit by a truck and died immediately. And the social order has also been broken. Imagine if you were an emergency room doctor whose mission was to save lives. One day, you suddenly know that you still have a year to live. Are you still interested in saving those who may have decades of life in this year?
The fear of death is a proposition for most of us , and of course we generally choose to avoid it under normal circumstances, ideally thinking that it may never come. At the same time, there will be another thought, because I don't know when I will die, so I fall into deep anxiety about this matter. This anxiety manifests itself in the fear of any risky behavior, such as flying, standing in high places, or being in an enclosed space. The root of many place phobias may be derived from our panic about the ultimate proposition of "death". If one day, when you know your deadline, will these symptoms resolve automatically? A person who is afraid of flying, seeing that he has 50 years to live, I am afraid that not only dare to take the plane, but may become an extreme sports enthusiast. Because no matter how much he struggles, death will not come to him in advance, at least in the past 50 years, his life is on the hook.
We return to Iya, no matter how human beings face their own death, our little protagonist is about to start her journey to find disciples. Stepping out of the door of the laundromat, there was a sudden rain (a homage to the "truman world", isn't it) , and then a burger made of dead whale meat found in a trash can. After a bout of vomiting, she continued her journey.
The first disciple, Aureli, seems to be a reprint of the "beautiful legend of Sicily". She is eroded by men's desires and envied by women. However, due to an accident as a child, she lost her left arm. Although he has an astonishing beauty (please forgive the setting of the film, I must say that there may be differences in aesthetics between China and the West) , he is ashamed and closed himself in loneliness.
The second disciple, Claude, began to sleep in the park after learning the date of his death, and Iya used a bird to liberate his thirst for adventure.
The third disciple, Mark, was a pornographer, obsessed with pornography and watching strip shows. But in love he was a loser and never had a normal relationship. And because he lost his job and had to maintain his valuable hobby, he was heavily in debt. Yiya suggested that he follow his heart and find a job dubbing pornographic movies, so that he can no longer suppress and avoid his own needs, and still have an income. Mark, who let go of himself, met his first love when he was nine years old in the dubbing studio, finally handed over his virginity, and also got love (yes, "true love comes first," you read that right, continue to pay tribute) .
The fourth disciple, François, has a bad marriage with a woman he doesn't love. He vents his dissatisfaction with life by pretending to kill, and Yiya encourages him to press the trigger, and the bullet hits the prosthetic arm of the first disciple, Aureli, who passes by. Francois didn't understand why the other party didn't fall into a pool of blood as he expected, he caught up with Aurelie, was stunned by her beauty, and bravely confessed to her.
The fifth disciple, Martina, was a housewife over fifty. When she and her husband received the date of death, they realized that her husband had never cared about her. So she fell in love with the zoo's gorilla ("King Kong" was waiting here) and took it home to sleep beside her. When one day you suddenly realize that your marriage is just a system, do you stick to it or let yourself go on for a few days and enjoy true love?
The sixth disciple, Willie, was a boy, but he had always dreamed of being a girl and living in a girl's way wearing a girl's clothes. He was the shortest living man of them all, though he was the youngest. His parents accepted that he wanted to be a girl, allowing him to do what he wanted to do in the last days of his life.
We must not forget our Father God. When he woke up, he found that the world had changed a lot, and the people who knew the time of death were no longer afraid of him. Although he uses that computer every day, in fact, he doesn't know anything about computers except for setting hundreds of thousands of rules. After being set by Yiya, he doesn't know what to do. There was no way, God could only climb out of the washing machine to the world, hoping to find his daughter and catch her back to change the password.
God's journey on earth was not smooth, and the strange rules he made on the computer were fulfilled by himself. He said that he was God everywhere, but he had no divine power, and his life in the world was not as good as a beggar. Finally found the daughter, the angry God planned to take her back, but the daughter took her own recorder, a tramp, and escaped from the water. Yes, Iya, like her brother Jesus, can perform her own miracles, and God doesn't. In the end, God was sent out of the country as a refugee.
Maria, who lost her husband, gradually began to discover the beauty of life, and she could even hum a song while doing housework. By chance, she tore off the power cord of the computer, and the restarted computer allowed Maria to discover a new world. She reset the world according to her wishes, and the world became colorful.
In this film, the symbol of fatherhood is made very ugly, and it also represents authority and institutions. Why do we obey these institutions, why do we fear God (I don't mean to despise God in any way, "God" here refers only to the characters in the film) , because we all have the fear of death. Once Yiya breaks through the unknownness of death, many things we will understand have no value in existence. Those we thought we had to abide by were just a matter of our own fears; those we gave up might be the ones worth sticking to.
