As the end of the play, a faint sentence is the whole story line of the movie.
A general was fighting for national reinforcements, and he threw his head and blood on the battlefield, but he was still looking forward to the moment of returning home in his heart. Simply sacrificing his life for a country has become his belief. Without expecting a trace of return, perhaps the most difficult thing is to realize his wish to return home and reunite with his relatives. He loves his motherland and loves his king as he loves his father. The old king believes that he is the best candidate to inherit the great cause, and that he is more qualified than his own son. Don't want to be bloodthirsty by the greedy son... But this robbed heir regards power above all else, more than his love for his father.
The plot of the movie has always emphasized the repetition of a theme while exaggerating the personal heroism, and that is freedom. The person who truly gives yourself freedom is not someone else but yourself.
Parsimone, a businessman who raised a group of sword fighters just to make money, had defeated countless fighters, and was eventually pardoned as a sword fighter by the old king and became a free man. He turned to buy more sword fighters to make money for himself, but at the end of the movie he chose to be a good person, the last words of Matthew Moss: Being a good person will get you into trouble. Yes, he decided to let himself find the freedom he really was looking for in this way. Get free, choose to be a good person and leave this world.
The black sword fighter seems to be an insignificant character, but in fact he is the voice of the audience’s heart. He was taken up in a coma at the grave of his wife and son to be sold into the ranks of sword fighters. The wound was in his kindness. Mai survived under the treatment. Before going to Rome, the conversation between him and Mai seemed to be what the viewer wanted to say to him, your family is waiting for you, but the time has not come, the time has not come, unless...yes, This was exactly the answer he was seeking in his heart, and the black words inadvertently guided him. At the end of the movie, the black man buried the wooden figure representing his family under the soil of the arena for Michel. "Now we are all free" looking into the distance, full of longing eyes, "We will see you again, but the time has not come, the time has not come..." Then he turned and left, leaving us with infinite daydreaming and thinking It seems that this is exactly a semi-proposition that the director wants to leave us to think about: When will our freedom come? We will understand one day, and this time will be—?
The main tone of the whole movie is positive. Although the ending is that Commodes and Mehemus end up together, the essence is that the liberation and freedom of the whole country and the whole people have been triumphed. Looking at Mehimus who was finally able to reunite with his family, this scene corresponding to the beginning of the film reappeared, brushing the wheat ears with his hand, and finally completed his mission to reunite with his family in glory. And the melodious and tragic tune once again spread to the ears, but the corners of the mouth are raised in another sense. Yes, the heaven will descend to the people, and you must first painstakingly and painstakingly. Your mission has been completed. Freedom is held in your hands and in the hands of the people you desire.
