"Beyond the Mountain" is a film composed of long shots. When the camera is still, there is no complicated and delicate scheduling. The movement and follow-up are hand-held. The photography style is natural and realistic, with very little recognizable. Skill. In the passage where Alina is tied to the cross, there are only nuns in a mess. When Vicky was invited by the priest from the team of "Rescue" Alina, she woke up in tears, but there was always only her back in the camera.
At the same time, the carefully designed aspects of "Beyond the Mountain" are extremely close to nature. The tones of black, white, blue and gray are consistent, spotless and extremely tormented. The red car that connects to the mountains outside the mountains has become a symbol of Alina's heart in the overall tone. The chaotic screams of the chickens and ducks unobtrusively injected the panic and panic atmosphere into the audience's subconsciousness through hearing.
All the lines that promote the development of the plot are threatened by a large number of "useless" lines, and the actors do not have fierce emotions and actions when facing irreversible mutation points. This is how this film cuts into the human heart, like a very thin blade across the skin, no wound can be seen at all, and no pain at the time, but blood just flowed out like this. At the end of the film, the two policemen looked at the conversation on the snowy road, "When does winter end, sir?" "It's fast, and the asphalt will crack before it ends." "Well, it's already cracked." and The plot has nothing to do, but it has a vague intertextuality with the character's mentality at the time. It can also be interpreted as a symbol, which is a magical touch.
In the last scene of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya", Sonia and Uncle Vanya sat down again to keep accounts, and Dr. Astrov looked at the map on the wall and said: "Very... Is it?" Gorky trembles all over seeing this place, "fearing human beings and our lacklustre and impoverished life."

truth
"Beyond the Mountain" has also reached a very high level of understanding and performance of contradictions. None of the characters in the play are completely "positive" or "negative". If you ask who is responsible for Alina's death, It is not only the principal priest and the chaotic executor nuns who have the responsibility (including Alina’s lover Vickya), but the social institution that finally comes to judge the Yamauchi people is not the one who killed Alina. The title "Beyond the Mountain" is exactly the hidden space in the film and the source of another contradiction. At the end, a sentence outlines the "Beyond the Mountain": "A boy killed his mother and uploaded the photo to the Internet." All the previous stories of Alina, the reason why she defected to Vickia. Alina and Vickya want to escape to the mountains. The film always ignites the audience's desire for love, human desires, and worldly instincts, but "beyond the mountains" is also not a paradise. This is in the train that Alyssa is driving. It has been revealed before embracing Vickya.
All the characters in the film act according to their behavioral logic in their respective systems. Only Alina’s motives are not clear. The film does not explain why she went to Vekchia, nor is there any psychological other than "Love Vekchia". Reason to support her crazy move. Alina's character image is abstract and philosophical, rather than a person who follows the logic of actual behavior. Alina couldn't bear to be abandoned by the eternal love of God outside the mountain, and came to the mountain in the world where the love of man was constantly suffering. Everyone in the mountain has abandoned the hot but short-lived temptation of human love, and has the eternal and remote love of God with all their hearts. The tragedy of Alina is that she neither believes in the love of God nor the love of humans, and at the same time, she is unwilling to give up asking for answers like most people do and lock herself in the present. Alina believes in her love for Vikkiah. The love of God and the love of people can illuminate one party. The love of two people that Alina believes is just a candle. She does not believe in religion or The worldly lies also lost the support of both parties, so I can only raise the candlelight in the vast darkness, just like Alina's eye-catching but weak blue figure in the pure black and white world of the film, the dual abandonment of the world of secular and religious Son, a fugitive from a system called morality or order is actually an oppressive system, a martyr on the cross.
At the end of the film, religion and law are on trial for "killers", and the whole film comes to an abrupt end while everyone's waiting. Punishment, sentence, charge, and whether Vickya is guilty or innocent is no longer important. As a person who denies religion and secularity and logic at the same time, but is unwilling to give up questioning, Alina has no place for her. Death or other tragedies are inevitable. However, neither the mountain nor the world can confess their murder, but must pack it with glorious morality, kindness, and axioms. When the responsibility for the tragedy deduced by the ruthless social rules falls on the individual’s shoulders, the individual must either follow a certain logic of behavior and deny the tragic facts. For example, the abbot said in front of Alina’s death: “God proves that we are Out of good intentions", such as a possibility: a nun could not resist the pressure of the law, gave up religious ethics, and began to accuse the priest of killing, while actually ignoring death; the individual is either like Vickya, as in the film The only one who really saw Alina’s death and did not care about the trial, she had doubts about both religious and secular order, and became another Alina.
A good story will not favor any one of the obeyers and destroyers of a certain order. It is its responsibility to eliminate the destroyers, restore order, and achieve "reunion". A good story will tear apart the beautiful illusion of order, making all of us who have to live in order to feel a kind of complete fear, the fear of losing the paradise fantasy, and we can only face the truth with a strong heart.
