A superficial retelling of sacrifice

The poster of the film is very attractive to me. The vast wasteland is covered with light green. The old man on the bank supports the tall and straight young saplings, while the children sit on the ground and water. In the grove, the old man sat and talked to himself, crusade against the abuse of technology in modern society, and the children who had had throat surgery and could not speak crawled around, sometimes naughty holding flowers. Yet disaster struck them. In an instant, everything was devastated, the streets were covered with rubbish, and the black and white of Ban Pei were all striking, and the camera slowly panned in nature.
The house, the postman brings Alexander's gifts, the family and guests talk about actors, plays, and encountering the house, making it their home. Alexander's son is about to go to Australia as a clinician. When the postman left, he told a magical story. The son took pictures of his mother who died in the war many years later, and the pictures he got were actually mixed with his son. The family continued to discuss. The disaster struck again, and the large milk bottle in the central cabinet in the living room shuddered and fell to the ground and shattered. The tones of the film are pale and dark. In the quiet and dull life of a family, the only vitality is the little man.
Beginning with listening to the TV broadcast, nuclear missiles are about to start, and facing Europe, everything has no future, no hope. Mrs. Alexander couldn't bear it and had a nervous breakdown. Alexander prayed to God in the gloom, preferring to lose everything he had. He hoped that everything would be the same, that all those who loved were safe, and those who were afraid were no longer afraid. Maybe that's the huge meaning of sacrifice.
On the swamp outside the house is a birthday present made by the little guy and the postman for Alexander. The swamp is impressive, tangled wet and muddy, adding to the sense of hopelessness and depression.
The fear of doomsday continued to spread, and the world became desolate. The postman brings news that the maid Maria can do witchcraft, and sleeping with her will bring her back to life and prevent it from happening again. Alexander sneaked into Maria's house according to the postman's plan, and told her about his past misfortune, and Maria embraced him to sleep. The next day, Alexander set fire to the house while his family was not in the house. An ambulance came and took him to the hospital. Alexander's young son continued to water the saplings on the shore. The little guy who always wears a hat is lying next to the sapling after watering. Against the background of the sad plot, this scene is infinitely moving, conveying silent hope, love and the vitality of nature
