opening paragraph is actually the best, and John Curran has handled the details very carefully: elbow posture, golf The show, the drink... With all the hints, I have already explained Jack’s original sin.
Of course, I won’t feel great after watching the opening. Obviously these details convey a lot of information but there is no answer. What to express.
So I went on to explain Jack’s work and lead to Stone. The black pigtail almost didn’t recognize Norton, but when I opened my mouth, you know...
Stone, who was completely foolish at the beginning, felt meticulously prepared. Jack worked hard to the last moment before retirement. As the conversation progressed, some changes occurred in each of them.
In order to achieve the goal of getting out of prison, Stone took a two-pronged approach and brought out Milla. But he was reading religious books, witnessing murders and praying in prison. There is a feeling in the middle: This is not the sin, everything is original sin, everything is the will of God.
Although Jack is quite old, he can't stand the master of seduce men like Lucette. He goes further and further on the original sin, and his heart begins to bear himself. Condemnation and questioning: insisting that Stone committed the crime, what about the current self? Did he also commit the crime or is it just the original sin that everyone is born with? In the
end, what the film wants to convey is conveyed in the last two-person dialogue :
Stone: I have never felt guilty, I never know the reason, but now I suddenly realized that this is just God's arrangement in my life journey
Jack: That is your choice, what you did
Stone: We are all colleagues of God, it's just We did not realize
Jack: The sin you committed has nothing to do with God (that is, what you committed is the sin, not the original sin)
Stone: God is involved in everything, all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the things we have done, the sins we have committed, the shackles that we carry in these reincarnations, we are all arranged by God, and we are involved in it...
It is also worth mentioning that, The car station and the humming of flying insects, these two run through the details of the film. One expresses the original sin of everything, and the other implies the will of God (Stone did it inexplicably following the humming when setting fire, and Jack's When the wife heard the will, Jack wanted to leave her daughter behind. As the window closed, the flying insects were crushed to death, and God's will came to an abrupt end)
So, looking back, did it have a great start?
