1. Two sensible people: Alina and the priest are
unfortunately opposed to each other, and because neither of them has a good end.
The heresy in Alina's film is just an ordinary person-grew up in an orphanage, and loves girls and Vicky because of the special growth environment. She has a strong personality and learns martial arts to protect her lover since she was a child. She is not very religious but believes in the existence of God. She went out from the mountains and went to Germany. She saw more of the world than the people in her hometown, and wanted to bring her lover to live a new life in Germany. life. Of course, the experience of being abandoned by her mother and the orphanage at a young age does not give her much of a normal childhood, so she also has her own psychological problems, such as mania in encounters, such as occasional auditory hallucinations, but in general, this is not What a big problem.
The most interesting character in the film is the priest. Probably out of hysteria about the stories that happened in reality, and probably not wanting to offend some pious audiences, Mengji’s depiction of the priest is very vague, but according to my guess, this person is basically a liar. , The least believer in God among all people. For example, when discussing the economic situation of the monastery at the dinner table, his attitude was very similar to that of a profiteer, and the same was true when he asked Alina to dedicate her property later. What happened between the two when Alina repented for the first time was a more obvious hint. I guess it was an old hint of what you gave me and how I could atone for my sins. And those nuns who pray late at night, and most likely pray alone—why is there such a canon? I vaguely remember that he was suspended from wages (not sure), and the reason for the suspension can be guessed. He boasted that he had seen angels when he was young and had a totem responsive to every request. It sounded like a liar's method. He controls the finances of the entire monastery and the thoughts of everyone inside. He may still have his body. He enjoys the feeling of a despotism. This is why he must kill Alina, who questioned his authority and may enlighten others.
2. Two and a half sensible: Vickya and Dean
Vickia’s experience fits the mindset of many Christians—weak personality, when she is bullied and overwhelmed, she tries to use faith to solve all problems. She talked about the protection of Alina in the orphanage, and was also asked about the "various" photos taken by a photographer. When it was time to go out of the orphanage, she and the film described him The other girl felt that the monastery was a good choice without thinking too much, and then was willing to be brainwashed and more pious than anyone else, just as she fell in love with Alina many years ago because of her protection. But she was kind, so in the end, when her lover passed away, the concept of right and wrong finally jumped out and defeated the blind obedience-when she was wearing a khaki sweater to tell the police the truth, there was a hint of refreshment in my heart. Although the murderer killed Alina, she was also one of them.
I don’t know if the character of the dean should be too thin or complicated. I only saw a trace of hypocrisy-she was very indifferent to cooking live fish, although the hostess expressed refreshments when she tried to send Alina away. She is the vegan who accepts it. There are fathers and mothers, you can imagine.
3. A group of hens:
This group of nuns is the most troublesome to me. They yell that they don't have the slightest ability to think independently, but they are blind and obedient but cruel. The group of laying hens in the yard is an allusion to them. Vickia would become them if they continued to stay in the monastery and wait for the years to pass.
4. Other characters: policemen, doctors, nurses, Alina's former employers, and officials
are all sketches of the "old society". Finally, regarding the boy's killing of his mother, the prosecutor, the winter and the road, and the dirty water on the police car, it can be considered as a version for everyone to interpret, but it has been slightly processed here, and there is a deliberate and profound suspicion.
PS The main idea of this film lies in the conversation between Alina and Vicky at around 91 minutes. Alina said, "Can't you talk like a normal person?" "I will pray to your God the most It will give you more wisdom." Sometimes I want to say these two words to certain Christians.
