Filled with countless ancient Greek elements, the director has not forgotten another tradition in the Western world, and has to build the soul of the entire movie from it. That is Christianity. Thus, there was a touching encounter between the Christian and the mermaid in the movie. It is worth mentioning that in Greek mythology, the "mermaid" is the siren siren who often sings to seduce sailors; they are so fierce and evil that the entire medieval Christianity regards them as the incarnation of evil. And the mermaid in the movie has a kind of love flowing behind the ferocious face. This is a metaphor for complex human nature. The universal value of Christianity is to awaken the kindness and love in human nature; whether
you are a devil or an angel, you are from the hand of God, and all living beings should accept God’s love, and should also love God and love what is in his hands. Works-all people and things. In an era when "cloud computing", "4G", and "gene engineering" are constantly changing people's lives, God has almost become an embarrassing joke. However, in the more than one hundred years since God has died, mankind has experienced unprecedented disasters and suffering; behind this era of rapid technological development, there are "nuclear threats", "financial crises", "terrorists", and "local wars". ", "violent demolition", "big-headed babies"... They are the demons of the new century. God's fairy tale has been shattered, so what kind of container do we need to fill our kindness and love, and dissolve evil and greed? Who will become the God who will save us in the new century? Haha, these topics are too far away from the movie.
"You are so beautiful, you must be made by God himself." This is what the priest said to the mermaid. It is also all the secrets I can know from "Pirates of the Caribbean 4".
