shackles

In this film, we don't seem to see any conflicts, everything is so straightforward. But the considerations about morality, society, family, religion, and even human nature in it are thought-provoking.
There is such a devil in everyone’s heart, some of which can be evaluated by our existing social legal mechanisms, but some, like cold violence, have always existed, and the harm is sometimes more terrifying than personal injury, and even A prison for a lifetime. Regarding the above two points, Shishi and the policeman’s wife represent the people who encountered this situation.
Similar to the devil, it seems that human beings can't find a good way to guide good and evil itself. Even the original sin story is happening over and over again. In fact, that story does not tell you that the apple is poisonous, but that humans will never learn well and make mistakes forever. Regarding this point:
a seemingly integrated mental evaluation, an honest executor, and a complete review organization cannot really solve the problem of salvation. What the imprisonment brings is not the liberation of human nature, or that the transformation of the stone does not originate from his behavior constitutes a kind evaluation (using his "wife" to seduce him) or religious disguise. It's that he was really driven by external forces (longing for freedom in prison), racking his brains to find all the ways of parole. In the books about Christ, he really faced his true side in the past and in the death of prisoners. I found my panic and guilt at the scene. Perhaps from that moment on, the souls who were freely released in order to cater to parole really have their own souls. Real freedom, this kind of inner peace.
By comparison, this old policeman, who is sadly about to retire, seems to have always lived under the correct legal framework, and his behavior has been suppressed deep in his heart. When faced with the same sudden change (like the grandparents that Shishi met was killed but behaved abnormally to set fire), he encountered an adultery that would not trigger the law (the slut of Shishi’s "wife", a natural psychopath) , A person who cannot control his own desires.) Committing a crime under the skin of a devout Christian (no legal evaluation, but a religious crime), he learned from the priest (a professional character who wears the skin of a priest) He couldn't get relief.) In everything the old policeman encountered, he couldn't get help. In other words, the channel for him to release stress, before meeting a slut, he could only vent occasionally through his love of golf. He never really knew himself. A person who is in a position to judge and redeem others, a person who thinks he is always doing the right thing, and a person who goes to church every day, is also at a loss under the temptation of the devil. In fact, he was also at a young age. He didn't solve his problem reasonably, it was just such a shell. What the final movie tells us is that he is retired, and in reality he is homeless. And what is really lost is the belonging of the soul.
Regarding the old woman, she was still at a loss after committing the act of arson. . In her life, she still failed to get out of that prison. Religion failed to give him a channel to redeem himself. She is poor. Her husband is cold and violent and has no emotional connection points. Even for decades, she once thought that her husband used the wrong method for the love of both parties, or that although he was indifferent, he was just someone who didn’t know how to communicate with others. Man, he held a glimmer of hope that he actually had love for her, but after knowing that her husband was cheating, during a breakfast prayer, he could not get frank and only lies (twice saying that you were distracted again, verified this Two points). . At this time, time is gone forever. Alcohol, tobacco and alcohol, swear words, and small gambling have become her way of life. Similarly, day after day religious life has not brought her change.
Regarding the slut, she should be the natural criminal (Stone has said so more than once), in fact, she is more like a fictitious character, like the film must bring conflict, and she is the devil.
The police's daughter, she was almost thrown out the window when she was young, in fact. She always knew that until her mother left that home, she chose to tell her (this also highlights that the old woman’s realistic choices did not bring positive meaning to this woman’s growth. The old woman once again fell into it because of her After contemplation--) Even the entangled daughter that caused the old woman to be unable to leave the police when she was young did not understand the mother's sacrifice, and believed that the mother had never loved her father and could not be recognized. It can be seen from the consistency of her daughter's smoking actions after the divorce (I have to admire the in-depth movie). The sacrifice of the old woman did not get a positive meaning. The perennial understanding of the love of the police is far inferior to that of a slut who is obviously utilitarian with a few words of seduction, and this old man who has already passed the years of confusion falls into confusion and contemplation. At this point, the old woman was completely defeated.
So after analyzing all of this, what can be redeemed? ? ?
How do we obtain channels of salvation?
Is it to inspire a crime, and then confess your humble soul with heartache?
Or, choose to serve humbly, strip off all parts of your soul and put them in their respective small boxes?
Or choose to believe in the limits of the law and stick to it for a lifetime, other than to indulge in the debauchery of the soul?
Or choose a body of your own construction, and then continue to paint and repair it? When problems arise, entrust the troubles to God, (instead of putting the burden on God)?
I would like to make a finishing touch:
perhaps, since original sin is born, then we must always be vigilant and communicate with God, this is the original intention. (But the same is true for the priest's answer to the police, WHAT A FU CKING DAY!)
