"Better World" is a new work by director Susanna Bill. This famous Danish female director has always been known for her delicate and gentleness. She is good at extending the most sensitive tentacles of women into the emotional world of a man. Her "After the Wedding" won an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film. In her movies, the male lead is often the fullest and most memorable. She is not like some writers and directors, who strongly imprints a unique mark on each frame of the image, but uses her amazing ability to control details to make every viewer remember deeply. This great emotion digger. "Better World" won the 83rd Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. After watching the film, you will find that it is indeed the standard best foreign language film configuration. The magnificent and subtle theme, the director's excellent control ability, the outstanding collective performance of the actors, the terrific script, and the perfect photography and soundtrack. The highly textured images express the director's thinking about life and society and humanistic feelings, which is the favorite of the Oscar foreign language film judges. Since the judges must have seen five nominated films to be eligible to vote for the best foreign language film award, the most well-known "Beauty Mistake" within the jury did not actually get much benefit. And it is precisely because of this that the Oscar's best foreign language film often exceeds everyone's expectations.
The film has two main lines, one is the main line of the adult world of doctors, and the other is the world of two children. And the two main lines continue to separate and intersect repeatedly, and the final overlap allows everyone who is tired and hesitated in life to find a kind of spiritual comfort. It can be said that the director discussed many themes in this film, the most prominent of which is the conflict between civilization and violence, and the loss and gain of love in life.
A doctor with noble sentiment and humanistic care went to the land of Africa to treat people who had suffered violent abuse. Whether for his children or for the poor people in Africa, he is a representative of a civilized society. He has compassion for others, a high sense of responsibility and professional ethics. However, every day he must face the poor African people who are tortured by disease and violence. Life and death are like a thin veil, as if a gust of wind can take a person’s life away from this violent life. world. The civilization he adhered to was trampled on violently and presumptuously in this crazy land where life was fleeting. At the same time, his and his wife’s marriage is in jeopardy, and his life makes him have to accept the loss of love, which is a gift or test of life. There is a scene in the film that impressed me deeply. When the leader of a violent person in Africa asks for help from a doctor, there is a contradiction between professional ethics and personal conscience at this time. There is even a conflict between civilization and civilization, and a perfect world in his heart. Where do we look for. However, when the leader spoke outrageously and insulted his life, the doctor angrily drove him out of the camp and let him be hacked and killed. He fell into confusion again, and the perfect rules in our hearts were destroyed time and time again. What kind of face do we have in this world? To face it? Because I am a medical student, I am very touched by the conflict and the confusion and struggle of the hero.
