Repentance

When the sworn declaration turns into the devil's incantation, and the appearance of the red heart cannot hide the rotten essence, what can we rely on to maintain the morality that human beings should most not degenerate? At the end of "Repentance", Ablaze seems to give a succinct answer, is this the revelation that social evolution has brought us?
In fact, the film does not appear to be struggling because of the heavy subject matter, on the contrary, it is smooth and magical from beginning to end. Hatred, resentment, and heart-rending pain are described so naturally—there was no panic when the corpse came out of the coffin, a little sadness when the relatives were separated, and even the destruction of the youth was just a hint of sadness.
Borrowing a description that is no longer fashionable, Ablaze shows us a "surreal" soul picture, but the word "super" in it contains double meanings: detachment and super. The semantics of the former are self-explanatory, while the second interpretation just coincides with the meaning of popular words. Is not it? The whole work shows the fusion of illusory scenes and reality - the clown-like hypocrisy of the mayor and his accomplices in front of the painter's family, the policemen's full armor, the mayor's ghostly face... And these, on the contrary, make him What we feel is a more real world.
Some of the scenes in the film are fantastic. When the mayor with his trademark mustache appears in public to give a speech, one cannot help but conjure up the image of the great dictator, and his advocacy is even more interesting: "... said Confucius, a wise man in China. : 'It's hard to find a black cat in a dark room, let alone no one in it.' Obviously, we have a difficult task ahead of us, but we are invincible, and we can find a cat in a dark room if we want, Even if it wasn't in it!" And a sentence from his funeral eulogy reminded us: "He has an extraordinary genius to turn enemies into friends, friends into enemies, what a genius he is!" Authoritative, what can we say? I
wonder if "Repentance" can be named as reflection, scar, etc. Because of the integration of a large number of humorous and unrealistic elements, the original strong tragic color has been diluted, at least with the Chinese movie fans. The "fifth generation" who relishes looking back at the miserable creation of "that decade" is so different. Is this a sense of relief looking back at the past? Or the hope of "repentance"? Or find a lost faith? Let us appreciate the dialogue at the end of the film and think about the answer together.
- "Does this road lead to the church?"
- "No, this is not the street that leads to the church."
- "Then why do you want it? What about the road leading to the church?"

Repentance quotes

  • Female Voice: Shortly before his death, Einstein raised his voice for the last time to tell the world of the tragedy of a modern scientist. This was his testament: "The fate of a modern scientist is tragic. His inspiration leads him to clarity and inner independence. By almost superhuman efforts he had forged a weapon of his own social enslavement and destruction of his personality. The situation even reached a point where the political authorities had muzzled him. Has the time really passed when the scientist's intellectual freedom and independent research could enlighten and enrich people's lives? Has he forgotten, in his blind quest for the scientific truth, about his moral responsibility before humanity and about his honour? Our world is under threat of a crisis the scope of which seems not to be realized by those in authority. The released power of the atom changed everything but our way of thinking, and thus we keep sliding down to a catastrophe never seen heretofore. For the mankind to survive, we have to learn to think in a new way. The most difficult task of our time is to avert this threat. At this decisive moment, I'll be appealing to you with all my feeble capacity."

  • Sandro Barateli: The vibration has damaged not only the frescos. There are cracks in the walls of the church. If it goes on this way, the church will collapse. By the way, the church stands on piles. We ask you to immediately stop laboratory experiments in the church and put up as soon as possible a new building for the research institute.

    Varlam Aravidze: You mean to say that you're against science and progress?

    Sandro Barateli: We're against the science that destroys ancient monuments.

    Varlam Aravidze: Doksopulo, what was that church directive about?

    Doksopulo: It's about a dilapidated church.

    Mosse: Who says it's dilapidated?

    Doksopulo: It's almost ruined.

    Mosse: Almost. You hear that? Almost!

    Doksopulo: The building is almost ruined, it's the nidus of infection. There're snakes and lizards breeding in its foundation. No one attends your church anymore. Long past are the times when people were being told that G-d created man. The fact that we all had descended from a monkey was concealed. That's why it's been decided to pull the church down and on that place...

    Varlam Aravidze: Wait, Doksopulo! Esteemed Doksopulo! The Church of the Mother of G-d is one of the greatest monuments of early Christianity. A cultural monument! Demolishing it means cutting off the life-giving roots that nourish and spiritually enrich our people. Then throw into fire the works of Rustaveli and Dante! Stop playing Bach, Beethoven, Verdi! Let's demolish the St. Peter Church, Notre Dame, Svetitskhoveli. Esteemed Varlam! Our church used to have some unique relics. Through centuries our ancestors had protected them up to this day. But they've been lost without a trace. Now the building is collapsing. But we...

    Varlam Aravidze: Doksopulo, give me the text of my directive on the laboratory. Look what's written here: "I deem appropriate the construction of a new building of the laboratory. However, in view of lack of funds, we should temporarily abstain from it." You see, we're concerned, too. But it seems we can't put it off any longer, you have convinced me. Doksopulo! Do you have a mother?

    Doksopulo: Yes.

    Varlam Aravidze: How old is she?

    Doksopulo: Very Old.

    Varlam Aravidze: Aren't you supposed to take care of her? The same goes for that church, the monument of the 6th century, our pride and our history. A son should never leave his sick mother without care. Remember it well. We should be grateful to these noble people for opening up our eyes, for telling us the truth. I give you my word that I won't spare any effort to solve this problem. And the experiments, as far as I know, are conducted at a minimal capacity. It will go on this way until the new building is erected.

    Mosse: If the high voltage installations work at a full capacity, not only the church, but the whole town will blow up.
