The author melts the most complex political struggle in the current world into the adventure of a small man. Simple and natural, smooth and concise narrative and clean and bright pictures give people a real sense of simplicity. The actors performed wonderfully, and their solid stage skills jumped to the screen. Even if it is changed into a multi-act drama with no editing, it will be breathtaking. And the sound of the gun bolt being pulled at the end of the film leaves the audience with infinite reverie; and the heroine's resolute expression facing the sea when she hears the alarm bell and the sound of the gun bolt behind her shows that no matter what the future may be, the awakened person is so fearless .
The film is full of riddles and hints.
(1) Those books are allusions to human history, coded to appear fragmented and bizarre. But under the guidance of the prophets, if people find a way to interpret history, they can restore history correctly. The restored history is like the key to enlighten the awakening of mankind. After reading, human beings will break through the fog intertwined by political disputes, religious conflicts, ethnic conflicts, etc., and find a way to overcome obstacles. It can turn enemies into friends and achieve peaceful coexistence.
(2) The thing that opens the mystery is an erotic toy in the eyes of ordinary people (such as teachers), which contains two meanings (sex and childish). However, when poets, publishers, priests and other highly educated people pondered it with a cautious and rational eye, people gradually realized the profound hidden meaning of sex and childishness. This reflects the rules of reason lurking under the mask of reality's "food color".
(3) The frozen scenes appear several times in the film, which on the one hand shows the fragmentation of human memory; on the other hand, it also shows the fragmentation of history. No one book can record the whole history. And the history that hides the truth is actually "full of nonsense."
There are many such arrogances in the film, which are worth pondering over and over again.
