The first surprise in 2021, first of all, it was just the poster that attracted me. I stayed in the favorites for a long time, and pulled it out to watch when I was bored. When I watched the first episode, I felt that it was very fantasy. Whether it was the style of painting or the style of the story, it looked very philosophical, but it also had a bit of mysterious copywriting and an IQ explosion (antonymy) plot, which was actually very ironic. Personally, I prefer satire and connotation, so I think it's okay. Later, I saw that most of the film reviews were that the first two episodes were incomprehensible? In fact, I can understand. I was caught off guard by the last episode as I watched it all the way with an entertainment mindset.
How can I say this feeling? After reading it, it feels like deja vu. It seems that I have seen this kind of thing for a long time, but I really can't remember it. It may also be that I received too much information, which suddenly filled my head. When I passed a period of time, I watched the eighth episode a second time. I couldn't hold back the tears and kept falling, and my understanding of life improved. The new knowledge seemed to give me the answer I had been waiting for for many years, and at the same time made me feel pain.
The black hole that fell in the constellation of the last incarnation of the mother is a circle formed by the Western Ouroboros, which symbolizes the universe, symbolizes infinity, and everything ends and is reborn.
Later, I learned about the production background of this film. All the interviews and dialogues were recorded in advance. The last episode was the real director interviewing my mother. It is hard to imagine that the title can make such a funny joke with my mother. Imagine a mother having a soulful conversation with her son in this way. Shortly after the interview, the director's mother died of illness. I believe that the "Midnight Gospel" he produced many years later had the greatest relief from his mother's death.
