Mads Mikkelsen plays a European Jika in "After the Wedding", doing charity work in India. His main job is to be responsible for the upbringing and education of orphans. When the orphanage is facing a financial crisis, a wealthy Danish businessman is willing to invest Help Jacka. An unexpected gain will always bring other unexpected troubles. As the saying goes, there will be no pie in the sky. Jackie attended the wedding of the wealthy businessman's daughter Anna during the meeting with the wealthy merchants to discuss donations. At Anna's wedding, he also saw her former lover Haili. Haili is the wealthy businessman's wife and Anna's mother. After Anna’s heart-warming wedding speech, Jacka discovered that Anna should be his and Hailey’s daughter.
The emergence of Jackal brought unexpected changes to the hearts of everyone in the wealthy businessman's family, and also made their original balanced lives unbalanced. Jacka re-examined whether there were any different motives behind such a donation plan, and why Shang Fu treated himself so hard to donate money to charity. After knowing that Jackie was Anna's biological father, Shang Fu decided to revise the donation plan and set up a foundation, a fund to support orphans in India, which can help more poor orphans. And this fund will be managed solely by Jacka, and Jacka must agree to a condition that he will stay in Denmark forever and never return to India. Jika couldn't accept such a condition, because India had his beloved charity, and there was also a boy he brought up.
At this time, the newlywed life of Jacka’s daughter lit a red light. In order to let Jacka stay in Denmark, Shangfu also explained to Jacka that the rich businessman is terminally ill, and there is not much time left. So looking for Jika, donating money, and attending the wedding are all arrangements for the wealthy businessman. The wealthy businessman hopes that Jika can stay and take care of his family, which is also Jika’s family. Everyone becomes small and vulnerable in the face of death, no matter how strong and wealthy you have been. That's why the wealthy businessmen would use a plan of donation in exchange for Jacky's care of his family. On one side are the girlfriends and biological daughters I have been in deep, and on the other are the orphans in need of care and relief. Would Jackka choose?
It should be said that the film is a family ethics film, so the film rhythm does not have to be too fast, the ethics film must be warm enough and more caring. In the movie, there are two life scenes exchanged from time to time, one is the cold and hunger in the slums of India, and the other is the life of the upper class in Europe. There are completely frozen bones and the smell of Zhumen wine and meat. Movies often feature close-ups of the faces of various characters, especially their eyes, no matter whether their lives are poor or rich, but when they encounter emotional separation, life and death, their eyes will be disturbed, confused, moved, and doubtful. .
Regardless of our living conditions, we hope to care and fully enjoy the warmth brought by family relationships. Perhaps life and wealth are not eternal, only family affection will last forever.
