At first, I watched this film just because I liked its name. I searched for it, watched a few clips intermittently, and really liked the expression of the little black-haired girl. So I got this movie, but it was put on hold for a long time before I saw it. After reading it, I have a few thoughts.
Believe.
This seems to be the most difficult subject. If John believed in Kate from the beginning, then everything after that may be in another direction. It can't be said that there is no belief in existence here, but it is just wrong. John gave up his blind faith in Esther until he died.
What should we believe, and how should we test whether our belief is worthwhile? This is too difficult a proposition. Stop trying to find support, be clear about your heart and thoughts, and don’t be paranoid or believe. It seems to be the safest to not let all emotions go to anyone, so as not to let love become hurt, hurt yourself and others.
Everyone is so worried about not being able to protect themselves, hiding and blindly conceding that they can avoid dangers, but those difficulties are still there, and they have become more turbulent because of the late arrival. Max is an angel-like girl, she is smart and brave, but she also backs down to Aix. It's because of kindness, maybe because she believed that Akers would be like "You are my little sister. I won't let you hurt a little bit, I love you." It seems that there is more than that, Akers. After killing the nun, neither parents seem to be able to protect us. She was still a child, so naturally she didn't know the consequences of her cover-up. People's primitive consciousness thinks that if you don't mention it or touch it, the damage will be eliminated.
Just like the peaceful paintings painted by Aix, if it weren't for a little error, others might never find out, and let those love, hate and jealousy flourish on the walls. Such as the privates of mother Kate. Like Danny's erotica under the treehouse floor. Such as Esther's real background. These unspeakable, unintentional prying will be frightened. The familiar docile and well-behaved is covered by the unfamiliar in the blink of an eye.
Esther is nothing but a sad little man. When Kate kicked her down an ice-covered river. Her pale face sank into darkness, and her final expression seemed a little surprised. Such an unpredictable loss of his own calculations, thinking that even if he has nothing, he will not lose, although he is not the winner, at least the one who died should not be himself. Holding the dagger around her, she begged to Kate, "Help me, Mom." Not knowing that she had already been identified.
Every man in the "Bible" has also been loved before, trying hard to hit hard, and trying hard to love again. Looking forward to the share that can never belong to me, after being hurt, I will turn my lover into an enemy. She has never been able to get normal love, just as she can't get an appearance that matches her age, she understands that it is impossible to ask for, and perhaps because of this, she becomes tyrannical and unscrupulous.
But in the end, I still can't get the slightest love and pity, so ridiculous and sad.
