Overall, the entire movie set is a classic.
For the film review of "The Ten Commandments", we still have to start with the Bible.
The background of the story takes place in Poland. First of all, Poland is a Catholic country, so everything must start with the Catholic Bible. Keep in mind that the Bibles of various denominations of Christianity differ slightly, the most notable of which is the Bible of Catholics and other denominations. The Catholic Bible, most of which is the Sigao Bible in China, was translated by the Hong Kong Sigao Bible Association.
Here is an excerpt from the Scot's Bible about the Ten Commandments.
Exodus 20 The Ten Commandments
20:1 God commanded all these words:
20:2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the land of your slaves.
20:3 Except mine. Besides, you shall not have other gods.
20:4 You shall not make any statues for you that are like things in the heavens, or on the ground, or in the ground.
20:5 You shall not bow down to these images, and you shall not worship them, for I, the LORD, you My God is a jealous God, and I will punish all those who hate me, from father to son, even from the third generation to the fourth generation.
20:6 I will deal with all who love me and keep my commandments. Show mercy to their thousand generations.
20:7 Do not call the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not let them go unpunished who take his name in vain.
20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, keep it
20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work;
20:10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath for the honor of the Lord your God; you yourself, your children, your servants and your servants 20:11
For in six days the LORD made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but on the seventh day he rested, so the LORD blessed The Sabbath was made holy.
20:12 Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land that the Lord your God has given you.
20:13 You shall not murder.
20:14 You shall not commit adultery.
20:15 Do not steal.
20:16 Do not bear false witness against your neighbor.
20:17 Do not covet the house of your neighbor. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, servant, handmaid, ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
20:18 When all the people saw the mountain of thunder, flashing, trumpets, and smoking, all the people trembled and feared, and stood at a distance.
20:19 They said to Moses, "Speak with us! We must listen, and not God. We speak, lest we die."
20:20 Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that you may always fear before him, so that you may not sin."
20:21 The people were far away Standing, Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.
Deuteronomy Chapter 5 Reiterates the Ten Commandments
5:1 Moses called all Israel together and said to them, "Listen to the decrees and rules that I have announced to your ears today, and learn to obey them.
5:2 The LORD Our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
5:3 The LORD made this covenant not with our ancestors, but with all of us who are here today.
5:4 The LORD was on the mountain from I spoke with you face to face in the fire.
5:5 Then I stood between the LORD and you, and spoke to you the word of the LORD, because when you saw the fire, you were afraid and did not go up to the mountain. The LORD said:
5:6 "I am the LORD your God, who I brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of slavery,
5:7 You shall have no other gods before me.
5:8 You shall not carve a puppet for yourself . image, or make any image of everything in heaven and earth, or in the ground.
5:9 Thou shalt not bow down or serve such idols, for my Lord, thy God, is a jealous God. To those who hate me, I will punish the iniquity of their ancestors in my descendants, to the third and fourth generations;
5:10 To those who love me and keep my commandments, I will show mercy to a thousand generations.
5:11 Thou shalt not call the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not spare those who take his name in vain.
5:12 Keep the Sabbath day and consecrate it, as the LORD your God has commanded you.
5:13 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work;
5:14 The seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God, and you and your children, your servants, your ox and your donkeys, all your livestock, and your dwelling in your cities. No foreigner who is not a stranger should do any work, so that your servants and servants may rest in the same way as you.
5:15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and outstretched arm; for this reason the Lord your God has commanded you to keep Sabbath.
5:16 Honor your parents, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live a long life and be happy in the land that the LORD your God has given you.
5:17 You shall not murder.
5:18 You shall not commit adultery.
5:19 You shall not steal.
5:20 Do not bear false witness against your neighbor.
5:21 Do not covet your neighbor's wife; do not covet your neighbor's house, field, servants, ox and donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. 5:22
These are the words of the LORD, which the LORD spoke with a loud voice to your congregation on the mountain, out of the fire, out of the clouds and darkness, and added nothing; and he wrote these words on two tablets of stone, and gave them to me .
In general, the Ten Commandments of the Catholic Church are divided into the following ten according to Deuteronomy 5:6~21:
(1) Honor God above all things;
(2) Do not call the holy name of God to swear falsely;
(3) Observe the feasts
(4) Honoring parents ;
(5) Do not murder;
(6) Do not commit adultery;
(7) Do not steal;
(8) Do not falsely testify;
(9) Do not love other people's wives;
(10) Do not covet other people's property.
The director pondered and tortured them one by one.
① Most people always read the Ten Commandments in the order of 1~10, but I think the first commandment is quite special. Let’s talk about the first impression first, and then talk about it later.
When I first saw the Ten Commandments, I felt that the director was promoting doctrine, telling us not to believe too much in things, to be in awe of the unknown, and even to believe in the only God. The father in the film just believed too much in computers (or maybe science) that led to his son's death.
②According to the idea of the first item, the second item is very obvious, swearing falsely in the name of the Lord, and finally ushered in the judgment of the Lord.
But in the film, it seems too straightforward, and there are many details that are not explained, so I give 3 stars.
Next ③～⑩ you will be in trouble. The director deviates from the center step by step, as if he is only involved in the Ten Commandments, and then takes care of himself.
Not so! I realized when I saw the second commandment mentioned in the eighth commandment. "The life of the child is the most important thing," the professor said. Catholics oppose abortion, which they believe is murder and violate the fifth commandment. And almost everyone in Poland is Catholic, and doctors are faced with a choice: make a false promise to save people, or let the child die. In the end, he chose the former, so under the premise of knowing that the man's condition improved, he told the woman that he was dying, so you should keep the child.
In this way, the torture of the second commandment is put forward. In order to save people, is it possible to swear falsely? Or can I make a false oath if I have to?
③ Christianity has its own custom of keeping the Sabbath holy, and Christmas is even more sacred and inviolable for Christians. Every Sabbath, Christians must stop all work, worship, gather, rest, and preach doctrine. In the film, the man carries his wife behind his back and goes with his ex-girlfriend to find her trumped-up "husband". The director passed some details and set up suspense, and finally when the truth came out, the two sides were relieved unexpectedly. From then on, the two had a new beginning.
Running and tired Christmas Eve, is it good or bad?
④When your father is not your biological father, when you two develop feelings for each other, how will you deal with it? Although the father and daughter choose to maintain the original relationship in the film, this is another shake of the iron ten commandments!
⑤ The death penalty has been questioned. Is the death penalty a deterrent to lawbreakers or revenge under the guise of the law? The whole green tone gives a heavy, serious feeling.
⑥Everyone has a period of adolescence. The male protagonist in the film has completed a baptism from in to out. I believe he has grown up and can know love better.
⑦ This is another frontal attack on the Ten Commandments. Is it stealing to steal back what originally belonged to you? What to do when stealing is a foregone conclusion and keeping the status quo seems like the best option?
8. Under the pretext of not giving false testimony, a girl was pushed into the abyss, and the female professor and the tailor had a debt of conscience for nearly half their lives. It can be seen that they wanted to give false testimony at the time? If so, what is right and wrong?
⑨ This is still relatively warm, the couple have experienced setbacks and hardships, and have a deeper understanding of love.
It seems that there is no torture in this film, but the torture is buried deeper. This must be read in conjunction with the Bible: Exodus 20:17 Do not covet the house of your neighbor. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, servant, handmaid, ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
In this article, women are placed side by side with property, and then they are divided into ninety-two items by the world. The director raised the issue of women's rights and interests through the torture of the Bible.
⑩ It is another good suspense film. The large amount of inheritance is flying away, and the two brothers are suspicious of each other. When the truth finally came to light, the two brothers bought the same set of stamps at the same time and knew each other. The importance of property kinship cannot be overemphasized.
①Look back and look at one. From 2 to 9, all of them are tortures of the Ten Commandments, and only one seems to be propagating doctrine. Isn't this abrupt? In fact, the director used his father and aunt to push science and religion into the arena. If he believes that science is not enough, what about religion? What is the one true God?
After reading the whole album, there are many familiar things: the guy in the sixth film, the stamp from the eighth film appears in the tenth film; almost every film will have similar apartment buildings; in the eighth film, the professor said that the second The ministry happened in the same building and said Warsaw was a small place. It's like presenting a small world in front of an audience, who is omniscient and omnipotent, like God, thinking about the Ten Commandments anew.
