Minimalist works, extremely complex thoughts

Speaking from start to finish - it's hard to find another such film, only the early Hollywood "Twelve Angry Men" may be comparable - the scene costs almost nothing, and the props are a few guns and a few sets of clothes .

But after watching the film, the thoughts left behind are not simple.

The film does not explore the causes and origins of war, nor does it discuss the justice or injustice of war. Humans are always fighting and killing? Which blood-stained hand represents good and which represents evil?

The film is not to show "weird power and chaos", so that mortals fear the unknown power of gods and demons. Fear arises only from ignorance, never from true knowledge and thought.

So, what does the film leave in our minds?

Even if people have the perseverance to die and want to control the countless possibilities and unknown things, what is the probability of our success?

Can increasing knowledge and wisdom, continuous improvement of will and behavior, finally make people become the subsequent God?
