Sacred ceremony

For an unexpected film, I am not referring to the plot itself, but the baptism of people in these three hours.

When I first saw the type of the film, I thought it was a suspenseful logical reasoning. It turned out that what the film really showed was a fairy tale. In this fairy tale, there are characters representing various forces. They are combined and alternated step by step, straightforward. But purely, it fully interprets life and good and evil.

Coffee is like the incarnation of nature and gods in the world. It is moving to experience all the sufferings in the world.
The warden and his party, the chief and his wife, and the three main prisoners constitute various roles in the world.

The most impressive thing is actually the three death sentences. The completeness of the front and back process, even if it is repeated, still insists on not omitting it. With the power of repetition, it hits the heart over and over again, and uses the different details to express the good and evil in the world straightforwardly and vividly.

And each death penalty is not only the final judgment of the prisoner, may God bless everything in his life from now on; it is also a baptism of the executioner, which judges people by law rather than morality. This is probably also in religion. It is not so universal, so in the film, the "God" still uses the force of nature to punish the wicked, but the laws of the world did not completely conform to the morals, and the gap between them has aggravated the suffering of all living beings, and the executioner He was also baptized in the process.

From a religious perspective, the death penalty is the most sacred ritual, allowing the good to go to heaven and the wicked to exile in the region.

    A few scenes that impressed me: 1. The film nakedly filmed the whole process of electrocution, showing the bloodless blood to the audience. At this time, it seemed that the shooting was cute, especially the death of DEL, he had already repented. But because of the villain’s revenge, he died in extreme pain. The scene was more terrifying than a horror movie, and the soul was shocked; 2. The perverted murderer and the death of the villain carefully designed by JOHN are really unexpected, super powers. You can still play like this; 3. The words that JOHN said to PAUL before his death are very emotional, making people feel as if bathed in a halo of great compassion; 4. John’s unremarkable appearance and pearl-like pure soul are strongly formed In contrast, it reminds me of similar characters in "Notre Dame de Paris" and "The Laughing Man". There is a kind of outline of literary brushwork...

    ★★★☆The whole movie seems a bit scattered, three hours is really too long, and the characterization is not prominent. Unexpectedly, there are fantasy elements. Looking at the director and the fame of this movie patiently, the wonderful story is still an excellent movie.
