One of the Ten Commandments of the Bible:
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods besides me.
One of the Ten Commandments:
The father is obsessed with computer technology, and the son unfortunately drowns.
A sad atmosphere survives in the eyes of various cold avenues and people. The modern society cannot tolerate a trace of mystery and more compassion, and the neglected beliefs cannot comfort themselves with more tolerance and waiting areas. The sporadic crying of ordinary human beings only exists in the dream of God and is deaf, but the laughter and laughter of ordinary human beings do not exist like the darkness before God falls asleep. Is there any connection between belief and morality, and how far does the freedom and thought of being a human reach the bottom line?
The son asked his father what death was, and he got a standard, scientific answer, which represented the progress of human science and technology and the best exposition of the material world; the boy asked his aunt who God was, and the aunt gently hugged him He, the boy felt love, and his aunt told him that this is God, it represents the advancement of human spiritual civilization, and it is surrender to the power of the heart. The confusion of children is also the confusion of God, but the fear of death and life should not become a trap that hinders the exploration and development of civilization.
The lost young man by the bonfire may be the messenger or incarnation of God. He is so lonely, and the high-rise community full of happy families is all around him, but what he gains is only disregard and doubt. He was saddened by the steps of faith and technology in this world that went in the opposite direction. The bonfire was not only used to warm, but also used to guide the confused people. Did this obsession also make him lost in the face of tragedy.
Modified computers, broken ink bottles, half a child's head under the mirror when washing hands and other "miracles" made the father realize that this might be a punishment from God. Be baptized. I believe this is not just a modern man's fear and obedience to some unknown force, but learning to treat more ideas with more tolerance.
Why, regardless of the Ten Commandments or the Ten Disasters, I have only seen God's tyranny and cruelty, and how pale and powerless his tears are after what he has done.
The Second Ten Commandments of the Bible:
You shall not carve idols for yourself, and you shall not make images like the things that are in the heavens and the earth, and the things under the earth and in the water. Do not bow down to those images, and do not serve them, for I the LORD your God is a jealous God. I will punish those who hate me, from fathers to sons, to the third and fourth generations; and to those who love me and keep my commandments, I will show mercy to a thousand generations.
Video Ten Commandments Part 2:
The wife who had an extramarital affair with her lover's child in the womb and her terminally ill husband made difficult choices, and both lives were reborn.
The same community once again leads the audience to observe the sufferings of the people living here from an upward perspective. Trivial and silent days replaced the original passions and ideals, and fantasies and illusions became the only core of hope. Every second before the decision is tearing up the right and wrong about the past, and the heavy theme of responsibility is always a romantic forbidden zone. From God's perspective, we are almost the green leaves that can't help ourselves, the glass that was forced to die, the bewildering drop of water that fell from the ceiling.
The woman in the band, the man in the mountaineering club, and a composer who has never appeared in the same time and space have twisted fate together. There is no bright past to talk about, only an unknown and bleak future. A woman who is torn between death and a new life holds two people's distant fates, while the owner of the dog she ran over two years ago has become her husband's attending physician, and the bond with each other slowly dissolves in adults. Between the unspeakable and wonderful fate. But the truth is too far away, any choice is punishment, from father to son.
The woman slowly pushed the glass filled with the maroon liquid to the ground; the old man slowly told the woman on the opposite side of his daily "adventures". Their loneliness is so much the same, the material existence is only to divide the existence of people as a whole. Reshaping the sense of morality and values while looking at each other, and touching the scalding warmth behind the eyes of despair. His story with her is just to help the old man grow old faster, do you believe in God, do you know the meaning of children?
A nameless rabbit was thrown out of a window and fell to its death, while a disgusting fly struggled out of a drinking glass in desperation on the verge of drowning. Who controls the meaning and value of life, and what role do we play in all living beings? Is the God shaped by the suffering of life only enough for each of us?
Love is like a yoke.
Three of God's Ten Commandments:
Do not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him innocent who takes the name of the LORD in vain.
Three of the Ten Commandments:
The lonely woman tries to get her married ex-boyfriend to spend Christmas with her, and the man who sees through her purpose then returns to his wife.
A suspenseful story, I thought this woman wanted to kill her ex-lover after killing her ex-husband, but I didn't expect that she did these many flawed things in one night just to let her ex-lover spend her time with her. Christmas to dawn. After waiting all night, his wife only asked him wisely and softly if he would not return overnight, easily pulling back the tired and lost man's heart. When you are young, you can die for love and live for love. After the ashes of passion are gone with the wind, only a helpless and self-deceiving peace is left.
Women try to find ways to use sex to regain their charm, while men keep silent after seeing through her little tricks time and time again. What he wants is not only a truth, but perhaps also to give himself a chance to indulge, so as to find the weight of responsibility and family in his heart again. The moment he drove her to death was the same moment when he was caught and raped in bed by her husband. Once she had the opportunity to choose, and she gave up; now he had the opportunity to pick it up, and he gave up.
This is an extremely depressing and sad story about marriage. Everyone has a person who hides in their hearts more or less. That person is like the Quantum Rose in "Ball Lightning", and it becomes more and more clear with the arrival of death. , while in our prime, it is more like a cancer. Lovers looking for true love, people who are confused between old and new love, people who know that their partner is cheating on them, what role will they play after many years. If one day my husband also encountered such a predicament, could he be as generous and wise as that wife?
What this ordinary couple does is like doing what they should do. The appearance of the ex-lover not only throws a stone into the husband's stagnant life, but also gives the wife a chance to rethink their relationship with each other. The faces of the wife and the lover have appeared in the red light before, the same forbearance, the same sadness.
What is marriage.
Four of the Ten Commandments:
Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On this day neither you nor your children, your servants, your servants, your livestock, nor your strangers in your cities shall do any work; for in six days the LORD made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them; It rests in seven days, so the LORD blessed the Sabbath and made it holy.
Four of the Ten Commandments:
The deceased mother left a letter revealing the mystery of her daughter's life, and the relationship between her daughter and her father became blurred around this letter.
The daughter with the Electra complex and the father with the Electra have been together for decades. Their peeping and desire are carefully hidden in the indulgence of the body and the tightening of the mind. The mother's letter gives them the opportunity to break this confinement. But let each other more deeply aware of the difficulty of falling in love. Habits, worldliness, and morality burst into their most powerful forces in an instant, and the culture and ideas they have received for decades make them powerless to correct their soul's desires.
Splashing water in pajamas in the morning, eavesdropping on the adult daughter's chat on the phone, and peeping quietly at night, the intimacy between father and daughter has long exceeded the boundaries known to the world. The twists and turns of the finale re-write their future conundrums with an open-ended ending, where the escapism jumps out like a trauma when you least expect it. The daughter's longings and guesses are right, the father's fears and shame are right, and the only thing wrong is the role they were forced into by another dead soul.
The dialogue in the elevator and in the bedroom at night is the most intriguing two paragraphs in the whole film. Layer after layer of secrets are revealed one after another, and the body's signal and the question mark of conscience collide fiercely in silence. Truth and impulse are temporary, change is the real scary thing.
I met the old doctor in the second episode in the elevator, indicating that this story also happened in the same community. We meet many people every day, but who can see that each other is in the midst of intense inner struggles and life changes.
I am old.
Five of the Ten Commandments:
Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
Five of the Ten Commandments:
A sympathetic lawyer tries his best to help a teenage murderer, only to fail.
The film explores the relationship between law and justice through a murder. Is the law a tool to maintain world order or an assistant to help correct human nature? Is justice only possible through punishment by law? From what we can see at present, the law, with its inviolable connotation and power, maintains the order after thousands of years of civilization in the world. Its coercive force in different countries and different beliefs is to regulate the behavior and results of established roles. Today, more and more It strives to maintain the balance of society in the perfect world law. It is a way to help humans distinguish themselves from beasts. It is not noble or inferior, but a reflection of richer emotions and thinking.
The lawyer has a line in the film that comprehensively covers his thoughts, "Since Cain killed his brother, no punishment has ever changed or kept him from committing a crime." His respect for life and his thinking about the law are admirable, but not touching. In the face of life, no means can achieve the most perfect justice and salvation. The image of the boy in the film is far more than the man who was killed. His confusion, pain, and rebellion are magnified to the audience, which almost recalls the general rebellious thoughts in his youth. And the taxi driver who was killed, as a mature middle-aged man, the rogue image of doing nothing after a few disgusting little gestures makes people unable to have a good impression of him. This preference for the role matches the lawyer's behavior, but I can't get my approval. The lawyer's angry roar at the end of the film makes me have to wonder why he becomes a tangled lawyer instead of a philosopher who helps people discover human nature and think about life. Boys have mothers and memories, but the people who were killed don't have them? The director told us the boy's past and future, and he didn't tell us more stories. After all, the law is not a ideological brand for forcing people to do good or evil. He can give many people a chance to save themselves, but the existing class government cannot. Give it the power to save.
The unfinished building heralds a story ahead of the previous four episodes, so the nostalgic vibe is accentuated by the greenish-yellow hue. Under the single and bright colors, the close-up of the expressions of the characters seems to have been filtered out of the residue, leaving only the deep-seated emotions. The silent character broke out the plot at the moment of murder. The bicycle that went further and further calmly announced the cruelty of death and the change of life. Did he really not notice what happened on the downhill?
legal temperature.
Six of the Ten Commandments:
Do not kill.
Six of the Ten Commandments:
A autistic and withdrawn teenager falls in love with a worldly and indifferent milf, and falls in love with the right person at the wrong time, and ultimately both loses.
Even the most sincere happiness is immersed in the soft and sad soundtrack. The smiling face of the young man is like milk in a bottle, and the love of the young man is like Esmeralda's hesitant vase. The traveler with the blond hair and the pointed chin is constantly witnessing the ups and downs of this community, and I think his story will be played out soon. When he met the boy in the morning, it was the most proud moment in his life, with the spirit of a prince pulling the milk cart in his hand and running around the neighborhood; and when he met the boy again at night, it was already his life In the most desperate and painful moments, spurned by filth and ugliness, and committed suicide to cleanse.
The acting of the woman in the film is very good, especially when she hears the boy tell her, "I don't peep at you anymore", she seems to laugh at herself, seems to sigh, seems to recall, seems to beg for forgiveness. But I know she will leave without saying anything. I remember a long time ago when my girlfriend in love said, "The current me has become the previous him, and the current he has become the previous me". Maybe a woman in love will always encounter such a moment, when she does what the other party has done, she realizes that she has been loved so much.
The sight of the voyeur is always narrow, confined to a small world in the mirror, full of incomprehensible, fragile, firm love. He was just a simple teenager who fell in love, but he leaked his secret at the wrong moment, and was humiliated and disdained by women. His heart was just like his ice blue appearance, and there was no way to piece together the debris on the ground.
As for women, that's another story.
Seven of the Ten Commandments:
Do not commit adultery.
Seven of the Ten Commandments:
The girl gave birth to a daughter and was raised by her mother. She was originally a grandmother but was called a mother for six years. In the end, the mother and daughter competed for the raising of the girl.
Silence is an oppressive nightmare. A woman who escapes with desperate dependence, longs for belonging and stability, and longs to be properly placed in her life, is ultimately let down again and again. The community at dawn is a bleak blue inseparable from the Ten Commandments. The cry of a child in worry is so lonely that the most fearful nightmare will arouse the body's desire to protect. What is the difference between gain and loss in the interweaving of lies and pain.
She dropped out of school without hesitation, eloped with her children, and found her former lover, but only cold reprimands and doubts poured cold water on her blood; she tried to compete with her mother for custody of the children, but Also because of prejudice and hatred, we lost the last chance to communicate; there is no way to retreat, only to embark on a path that is only our own. He got into the theater like a thief, hid under a bridge like a thief, and brought his daughter to her father like a love. God said, do not commit adultery, is it because you are afraid of seeing such a tragedy?
They are constantly communicating, talking in pairs, but it seems that they are in two unrelated time and space. No music, only constant repetition of unbearable memories and resentment for an invisible future. People can no longer hear each other's words, but continue to deny, doubt, and fear in their hearts what is about to happen that will change their lives.
The train was getting farther and farther away, the girl still failed to call her mother, and the grandmother failed to stop her daughter, and even the initiator of the teacher-student love planned to move out. This is a story that is too cold. It seems that the purpose of life can only be crossed from one side of the river to the other, and from here to there by car, it has nothing to do with ties, love and worry.
If there is no love and hatred, there is no bondage.
Eighth of the Ten Commandments:
Do not steal.
Eight of the Ten Commandments:
Forty years later, a Jewish girl who was rejected during the war finds the family that rejected her when she comes of age, but discovers the truth beyond the conjecture.
A woman who was obsessed with the past, 40 years later, finally found the family that refused to rescue her and asked why, although they both knew that the answer was insignificant in the face of years of moral flaws and religious doubts. The film re-explores the second story, about the choice of life and the way of belief, and proves through the mouths of old teachers and middle-aged women that the director did arrange all the stories in this community, but it is not so wonderful in itself , because it is the same as every other community in the world. Everyone is going through the pain of life that they cannot bear, and it is no different from other people.
What is worth thinking about is that the serious topic of life has always been divided into two categories, children and adults, I don’t know if they are degenerate or not. It seems that when people reach adulthood, they find that they are no longer able to place more ideals on themselves, and only hope. Relying on children, the next generation of flowers of the motherland is cultivated with contradictory education, and people who hold different tunes will all be driven into the abyss of greed for life and fear of death.
Returning to the hut was Elizabeth's punishment for the old teacher. She pretended to disappear and the old teacher had to go in to find her. She was punished with embarrassment, anxiety, anxiety, fear, etc., which she experienced when she was six years old. But unfortunately, there is no punishment in this world that is at the cost of letting go of oneself, except for forgiveness.
This is the only relatively warm story among the Ten Commandments. It is built in a big background but full of humanistic feelings. The contest between the old and the young across time and space can't help but make people feel emotional.
Nine of the Ten Commandments:
Do not deceive witnesses.
Nine of the Ten Commandments:
In the future between an impotent husband and a cheating wife, one side attempted suicide, while the other regretted it.
The speed of the tubing and bicycle in hand is a metaphor for a man's sorrow, when self-esteem is physically exhausted and action is lost in involuntary confusion. Ordinary life can make people feel numb to each other, like air, sunshine, right and left hands. The director spoke out the true meaning of marriage through the mouth of a woman, but tried his own way to tell people that life is much harder than discovering the truth.
From the conversation between the man and the doctor, it can be said that he has experienced a lot of women during his fifteen years of marriage. A sudden serious illness made him pay attention to the person next to him, but unexpectedly discovered that his wife had already cheated on him. In the midst of pain and inferiority, he did things he couldn't believe. He sat on the stairs to eavesdrop on his wife's cheating, and hid in the closet to watch his wife cheating. Under the double torture, he finally chose to die. In addition to being a suicidal product for my husband to exercise, riding a bicycle has also googled it for the mentality of becoming a scientist after learning the culture by raising postures. Excessive time exercising on a fitness bike may also cause a man to become crazy.
Sex and children seem to be the two essential factors to maintain a marriage. The flame of love burns passion and impulse to nothing, just as young people think about the stupid things that children did ten years ago. It's terrifying to wake up one day and suddenly no longer know the person next to you, and what's even more terrifying is that you don't even know yourself anymore.
If the man is not sick, judging from the ambiguousness and kindness between him and his female patient, I am afraid that this story will eventually become a process in which two cheaters hate each other and start over. And if it wasn't for the man's illness, the woman's self-blame would not be so serious. Facing a romantic young lover, she is also likely to re-examine her life. The question is here. After marriage, people all forget the vows they made when they got married.
To die and then to live.
Ten Commandments of the Bible:
Do not covet a man's house, nor covet his wife, his servants, his ox and his donkey, and all that he has.
Ten Commandments of the Ten Commandments:
The brothers accepted their father's inheritance, a batch of valuable old postage stamps. When these disappeared, they both suspected each other of being thieves, and then they got back together.
The old man who likes to collect stamps in the eighth story became the reason for this episode. Although the blond man was not seen, the director has explained the inheritance of time and the changes of the times in this way. No matter whether it is a free-spirited younger brother who plays music, or an older brother who is just like most people, he can't see the stories of the past and the future. And they went from resenting their father, to understanding, to re-caring for each other's brotherhood, which also confirmed the old saying that people can learn from others and know their gains and losses.
The dead goldfish and the stolen stamps are the two major contrasts in this story. The goldfish are like two brothers. If they don't get care and pursue money interests, they will die sooner or later. We can also see a lot of this in the film. The relationship between the elder brother's wife and the elder brother is one example. When the stamps were stolen, the rift between brothers became a bargaining chip to test morality and family affection, and the trust between people was so fragile.
At the end of the Ten Commandments, the director took us through the joys and sorrows of this city and this community in decades of changes with a god-like cold vision. Issues such as family affection, love, marriage, morality, and human relations were re-laid in front of the audience. Less hysteria. Fortunately, at the end of the Ten Commandments, the director used a pair of brothers to look at each other and laugh to add a bit of bitter warmth. Just like drinking tea, whether it is fragrant or full of bitterness, it all depends on your heart.
Take shadow as a lesson.
