The translated title of the film is too elegant, coupled with the theme of religion and peace, I originally thought it was an epic movie full of sadness, but I didn't expect it to be a light comedy mixed with singing and dancing? It seems inappropriate to say that, after all, death and conflict are also a very strong part of the film, but the presentation is slightly exaggerated. Probably due to differences in language and culture, such films always seem to have a hard time keeping up with the rhythm of the film, so the interspersed song and dance segments in the film are like a tea break, which plays a very good role in regulating, but the whole The plot of the film is still a bit messy, until the title at the end, and suddenly there is a sudden aftertaste: the women chose to change their beliefs in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, the living broke the seemingly intolerant religious boundaries, and joined hands for this young life. Burial, but where will the souls of the dead be buried?
The destination after death should be the most important part of all religious beliefs. For the devout believers, this is probably the sustenance for the rest of their lives. The intention of the film is undoubtedly anti-war, but it cleverly avoids the heavy theme, does not delve into religious conflicts, but uses a unique perspective in a remote small mountain village in various playful ways to allow people of different cultural beliefs. Live in peace. However, the director himself does not seem to have the confidence to deal with this idealized way, which is why he threw this problem to the audience at the end of the film. There is a clip in the film of the mother of the child who was killed by a stray bullet, broke into the church and complained to the Virgin Mary in tears, and finally left the sentence, you will never see me again! This statement seems to be a set-up for later women's individual conversions, making this seemingly incomprehensible conversion to ordinary people (religious people) less abrupt. In my opinion, I prefer to interpret it as the belief that life is above everything else.
But in China, where most people have no faith, and when talking about ideals is too extravagant, who can consistently hold on to their inner beliefs? One thought of thousands of mountains and rivers, and one thought of destroying the vicissitudes of life. We may never be able to comprehend the seemingly senseless religious conflict, but we still have no right to accuse them of their excesses in defending their beliefs. At least they have an unshakable belief in their hearts, no matter whether this belief is right or wrong, it is always It must be the motivation to survive in this chaotic world.
