more than love

Judging from the content of the movie, this is not just a love movie. At the end of the movie, the girl with a baby in her arms and tears streaming down her face resembles the Virgin Mary, which implies that Faust is God. Faust is not a God in the sense we understand. He is old, incomprehensible, and cowardly. He is full of knowledge, but in the end he can only watch his people die from the plague. Made a deal with the devil. The devil satisfied his selfish desires, he became young and beautiful, he was sure to win every gamble, and had many romantic encounters, and finally had a short and profound love with the girl with long braids. This implies that even God-like people look to their hearts for happiness in their lusts. However, the director did not deny this act. When Faust kissed the girl for the last time in the fire and the angel said the word "love" aloud, all Faust's sins were forgiven. Therefore, from this point of view, the director has reduced the untouchable and divine aura of God to a flesh-and-blood person who has desires, sins, and deep love. Although in this film, although the protagonist of the film rotates back and forth from the devil, Faust, and the girl, the picture is so beautiful, like a dream, it is indeed a black and white visual feast. pay tribute!
