It's a paradise that doesn't exist, but it's truly aspirational.

Heaven is like this.
There are no taboos in falling in love - police and prisoners meet in prison. The police began to make a careful plan to help their sweetheart.
Trust - trust each other with the people you love. The younger brother trusted and helped the police elder brother. The elder brother believed that the female prisoner that the younger brother said was a good person and was his favorite teacher before.
Righteous hate can be enforced - female teacher ends up shooting the boss behind the drug deal.
Great family love - the policeman's father was also a policeman before. He rushed to give money to his son. He did not interfere with everything his son did for love, and only silently helped him and let him pursue his own life.
True friends - no reprimands, only unconditional trust support. The female prisoner's friend took them into hiding.
These people are positive, they are not swayed by the external order, they live and die for love.

This is an abstract movie. A young police officer falls in love with his older female prisoner, walks in a foreign town after a successful escape from prison, and finally runs to the helicopter that just stopped unguarded when he is besieged by the police at a friend's house. The plane ascends to the sky.
Total love and pure freedom...
it's a paradise that doesn't exist, but it's deeply desirable.
The order of reality is portrayed as an absurd, utterly darkness-controlled blob.
Kill the bad guys who control the real world, escape, and fly to the sky with your loved ones...

This pair of specious surreal lovers both shaved their heads in an exotic town, wearing a white T-shirt, blue and black jeans, very cool. Blanchett shaves his head for the filming, just like Wang Ji's "Pink".

Another: watching the movie directly when you don't know anything about the background of the movie is happy, but when you know that "Paradise" has something to do with the famous Kieslowski posthumous work, it feels boring. No expectations is the best way to watch a movie.

    A single gold coin was enough for us to elope; how deep and quiet it would be if Kieslowski was in the picture.

    It can be said to be the most romantic prison escape movie. Kee’s posthumous script has many screenwriters’ pleasures, and the foreshadowing echoes the design to make it more reasonable. Tykway has inherited his fateful and touching love god. The sex is complemented by the panoramic overhead shooting of the piano music, plus its own sharp editing and some types of entertainment, such as the excellent title before the title is released. The mysterious Giovanni and the shaved Kate are an unforgettable cool couple. Archives film version.

Heaven quotes

  • [first lines]

    Helicopter Pilot: [in Italian supervising simulation] Follow the terrain. Good. Keep it perpendicular to the ridge. That's it. Under real conditions you might have to compensate for the wind here. Now, maintain you height. Watch your height, careful.

    [climbing higher simulator switches off]

    Helicopter Pilot: In a real helicopter you can't just keep flying higher.

    Filippo: How high can I fly?

  • The Inspector: Place of birth?

    Philippa: Bristol.

    The Inspector: Profession?

    Philippa: Teach. I'm a teacher.

    The Inspector: Marital status?

    Philippa: Um, I don't know.

    The Inspector: You don't know whether you're married or not?

    Philippa: I was in the process... I was getting divorced, but my husband died during proceedings.
