1. People who are too rational encounter accidental events, and a small mistake can affect their whole life. Does God exist? If there is, his purpose is only to punish those who do not believe in him? "The world is impermanent," this almost didactic conclusion also sets the tone for the subsequent stories. The unwritten rule of Hollywood movies is not to directly show the death of children, and in Kieslowski's case, the cold corpse is obviously the greatest malice to the father character and the audience.
2. No matter how you decide, it may be wrong. Faced with a life that is difficult to choose, people can only grasp it. And choosing the life (of a child) over the moral self-consistency of an adult becomes a discipline in itself (and those who play God will certainly bear the corresponding pressure). With rain dripping in a dilapidated hospital (and the metaphor of the bee crawling out of the cup at the end), we share a similar socialist decadent aesthetic with our Eastern European brothers
3. The Nightmare Before Christmas - A morally flawed love story that is actually about loneliness. five star
4. The "father" suppressed his lust for the "daughter", but failed in the end, and chose to deliberately reveal the secret of his daughter's life experience to put the two under similar moral pressure. And the "confession" that the daughter "hasn't read" the letter, is it another lie to relieve the father of moral pressure and let life return to the way it was, or is it a fact? It's just that sometimes the truth of life is too cruel, and no one can bear to face the truth. five star
5. Is it a crime in itself to punish those who commit murder by depriving them of life? Fate is impermanent (the driver escapes a falling object in the morning, but is robbed and killed in the evening), complex human nature (the driver is rude and lustful, but he is full of love for stray dogs; the murderer loves children, but does evil for no reason). With the deciphering of the murderer's life experience, people can understand and even sympathize with the evil deeds without a reason, while the evil deeds with a reason can cause death in the name of the law. The line drawing of the two killings reminds me of "Lust, Caution" and "Drug War"
6. The argument between love and sex. The cruelty of losing love, or the realization of the fragility of love, which is more tragic? Love can also be said to be the embodiment of all "innocence" in life. five star
7. Set extreme scenarios with yet another story full of moral flaws. How much selfishness and possessiveness, and the instinct to hurt those close to you are all prevalent in the name of "love".
8. The only one in the ten that directly intervenes in politics. It is worth learning to reflect the inner world emotions of the protagonist by the drunken man who suddenly broke in and the reaction of the protagonist he inspired. On Salvation, Remorse, and Reconciliation
9. Impotence ➡️ Worry about betrayal ➡️ Distrust ➡️ Suicide. Continue the discussion on the relationship between "love" and "sex". Love itself is very fragile, so is trust, and it may not be either one of the two, let alone children, that sustains a marriage. Is morality itself a power?
10. How can the love and passion beyond the daily life control a person in turn and devour their attention to the daily life
