Essay about this movie

I think there are a few key things to talk about first.
1. Time and logic outside the house, and even geography is chaos. The time of the big riot in the second half of the movie. The time is more than ten minutes, but obviously the heroine's time is not the same as the intruder's time. It can be seen as a day in the sky and a year on earth.
2. Everyone is ashamed of the brutal treatment of the heroine and the inaction of the hero. But you must know that in the whole movie, the male and female protagonists actually have only one active interaction with the intruder, and the rest are passive interactions. It was the first intruder whose son was caught on the wall by the male protagonist and asked to calm down. At other times, no matter what the intruder does, the male and female protagonists basically use language to interact, and the female protagonist basically does the same. The heroine was even beaten.
3. The dimensions of the male protagonist and the female protagonist and the intruder are different. The male protagonist will basically not suffer any damage, so her dimension is the highest. The heroine and the hero can interact, but his time, place, logic, and intruder are different, so her dimension is higher than that of the intruder. But the intruder can interact with the heroine again.

Spoiler:



first of all I think that the heroine and the house are one, that is to symbolize the earth. The protagonist is the creator. The first intruder was Adam, the second was Eve, and the third and fourth were Cain and Abel. The child born to the heroine is Jesus. The identity of other intruders is that the identity of everyone is specific and not mapped. Female publishers are really female publishing houses, beggars are really beggars, reporters are reporters, etc. The
final fire means the destruction of the earth, and the repeated destruction of the heroine by human beings means that human activities have been destroying the earth. The environment will definitely pay the price. If human beings really consciously treat the earth as an individual, everything we humans do is actually the plot of abuse of the heroine in the movie. And all this ultimately comes with a price and revenge. The earth is not human, just like the heroine in the movie repeatedly told other intruders, "This is my home!" When hearing this question, the intruder just asked contemptuously, "This is really your home?" . I think that's the max mapping.
Whose home is the earth? Is the earth our mother? Are we guests? Are we intruders? Are we abusing a mother? How do we deal with all this? Will we end up paying the price? Will rebooted humans learn their lessons after everything reboots at the end of the movie? These are big issues.
Regarding the above points, I think the director is actually anti-religious, because the behavior of the male protagonist is the description of God in the New Testament, basically doing nothing, arbitrarily condoning any behavior of human beings. This highlights the hypocritical nature of religion - in the name of love, taking your newborn baby and sharing food with mankind. This was never the behavior of the father.
