It took two hours to watch the movie carefully and carefully. Although the time is relatively long, it does not feel verbose at all, because the rhythm is still very tight.
At first I thought it was a suspense film, but in the middle I thought it was a sci-fi film, but in the end I found it to be a religious film with a deep educational meaning. This movie, I see two meanings.
Tier 1: Religion
Obviously, this film is the story of God's creation of Adam and Eve in the Bible and what follows.
#God#
A writer is a symbol of God. He is accomplished and has countless believers. The most important thing is that he loves people, loves all people, no matter how good or bad the person is, what he does. He gave everything he had without any hesitation, and finally gave up his son.
After his new work came out, the original was framed and worshipped. This should be an insinuation of the Ten Commandments of Moses in the Bible, but the believers did not obey it, which is also consistent with the story in the Bible.
#Mother#
The mother was also created by God, with that fragile and transparent gem. The house itself is the mother, so she never steps out of the house throughout the film. Even when walking to the front porch, he looked at the lawn and woods in front of him and didn't move on. The mother walked to the front porch twice, facing the sunny grass, but her expression was not bright, it was an expression of worry and fear. Every time my mother leaned against the wall, she could feel her heart beating inside the wall. It begins with a healthy and vigorous heart, then gradually becomes weak and withered as the plot progresses.
There is another detail, the mother has always been barefoot in the house. The squeaking sound of the feet on the wooden floor can give a feeling that the mother and the house are actually one.
From the beginning to the end, my mother devoted her whole heart to God, and in the end, she gave her heart to God too.
#men, women#
The man is clearly Adam's character, and you can see the scar from a rib pulled from his body, and it's a new wound, indicating that God has just created him. The next day, the woman appeared, and this was Eve. I have to say that the actor Michelle Pfeiffer was chosen very well. She has a very independent and proud female aura. From the moment she entered the house, her ambition was clear. She started doing whatever she wanted, saying what she wanted, wanting to control men, and more. She helped with the burnt breakfast pot, which was too hot and threw on the ground. The lemonade is very strong and has its own characteristics, but it does not estimate the mess in the kitchen. She casually commented that her mother's panties were too old-fashioned and asked her to wear sexy lace panties like hers. In the end, she urged the man to take her to see the gem, and then disregarded God's advice and broke it in her hand. God and mother were very angry, but Eve said: We have said sorry, what else do we want. This episode should be a symbol of stealing the forbidden fruit in the Bible. Then Eve took Adam to the room to have sex without even closing the door.
#two sons#
Next, the sons of Adam and Eve appear, namely Cain and Abel. For seemingly no reason, Cain killed his brother Abel and began to flee. In the Bible, Cain killed Abel because God liked Abel's lamb offering and not his. The situation here is very similar, Cain always believed that his parents loved his younger brother, not him, and killed his younger brother out of jealousy, without grief. In the ensuing memorial service, God recited poetry in memory of the dead Abel, but also mentioned that the man and woman also had a wandering son. This is similar to the meaning of God's love for each of his people.
#baby#
The mother gave birth to the son, and the believers brought food for the mother and the baby, which is consistent with the story of Jesus. But God took the baby and gave it to his worshiper, and it was eaten. This scene was horrible and a little disgusting. After watching this episode, I feel bad for the whole person. But God still told my mother that we have to forgive them. This is God's fraternity, love every child, for better or for worse. The baby here is the symbol of Jesus. But the people who ate Jesus didn't wake up and still rioted.
#female agent#
The person God trusts most should be his agent. He finished the work and showed it to his agent first, not to his mother. The female agent's appearance was also very aura. She seemed to be so familiar with everything in the house. The first word she saw when she saw her mother was: inspiration. Mothers are truly a source of inspiration to God.
Near the end of the film, the female agent actually set up a group to suppress the rioters and shot all the defiled people with headshots. The corporate definition of motherhood is that the angels are defiled. The female agent calmly asked the believer to kill his mother. This should be the symbol of the way the Archangel Lucifer became a demon.
Level 2: Life
Compared with the religious meaning of the first layer, I think the film is more to insinuate married life.
#writer#
The writer is much older than his mother and has high achievements. Compared with love and life, writers actually care more about the reputation of nothingness. So when he sees his admirer coming, his ecstasy has made him throw away everything else, marriage and wife. Even after men and women peeked at his gems and smashed them, he did not drive them away, but only sealed the study.
The writer is very macho, and he hardly asks his mother what he wants to do. Let the stranger stay in the night, then receive the arrival of his wife and son, and then the memorial service. The mother kept picking up the pieces, but the man didn't care. It's not that he doesn't care about his home, it's that he doesn't care about his wife's feelings. It's not that he can't see his wife's anger and worry, but that she doesn't care how she is at all. But fortunately, he will also say two nice words, I love you, how are you, or something. Not only did my husband not care about my feelings, he wouldn't even say such things. Sorry, off topic.
At the climax of the film, believers crowd into the house and eat a celebratory dinner carefully prepared by their mother. And the performance of the writer is only one: sharing. His pursuit of fame has made him dizzy, but he doesn't care. Maybe he knew in his heart that no matter what, his mother loved him. Where is the writer when there is no one to help my mother when she is in labor? Of course, still receiving the adoration of fans. Only when the mother was about to give birth did she get the writer's care and open his locked study. In fact, all he cares about is the child, and the mother is just a tool for production. One more digression, since I gave birth to my child, my husband's attitude towards me began to plummet. On the sixth day after the birth of the child, he fisted me. The plot in the film is very similar to the Chinese chauvinism that "children are good for oneself and wife is good for others". When the baby was eaten by fans, the writer did not comfort his wife immediately, but told her: We must forgive them. The illusory reputation has made him irrational.
In the end, the mother was burned beyond recognition, but the writer was still asking for it from her. The last love, her heart was also taken away. The writer shed tears. He still had a little love for his mother, but he still couldn't put his mother first, and he still cared about his reputation. The writer's evil laugh really scared me when the gem was put away and everything was about to restart. What do you mean, wry smile? In the religious sense, God's efforts have not been successful, and he will continue to influence his people. sinister smile? In a realistic sense, women are like clothes, the old ones don't go away and the new ones don't come.
#Mother#
The mother's love for the writer, without any reservations from beginning to end, is almost an adoration. She decorates the house, cleans, and does a lot of work that a wife shouldn't do, but she does because she loves her husband. But her love has a flaw: possession. She just wants to have her husband alone and doesn't want to share it with others. Strangers came to the house, and her husband and fans climbed mountains and partyed, and she felt very panicked. She refused to leave the house, she just wanted to keep her husband and her love firmly. But her husband said her approach had suffocated him so much that he had no inspiration for writing. In a situation like this, the mother does what most women do: get pregnant. Having a child, I thought I could lock my husband's heart and keep him by my side forever. But the result still fails. In the end, the mother gave her last and only life for love. This is the sadness of a woman's love.
Also, let me say a not-so-robust thought that keeps circling in my head, is my mother a little out of place? This can be seen from the anti-anxiety medicine she takes. Her love made her nervous to the point of anxiety. In fact, in order to keep her husband, it is not enough to just love him, but to create a home for him. To love him, to love him for a long time, is to integrate into his world and become a part of his friends. Wouldn't the result be different if the mother mingled with his fans, attended all of her husband's parties, and blended in?
