Run, Lazaro, run

The first half of the film did make a lot of people give up on the film, but a truly profound film was missed without seeing the back. "These slaves are deceived by the so-called marquise, and the outside world is modernized. These people still live a slave-like life", this is just an excuse for people to deceive themselves, leaving that isolated place, the city still lives in such a "fairy tale" , and people do not know it. In fact, when these people hesitated by the river, they showed that they still did not get out of the so-called "slave cage". Why isn't Lazaro getting old? The most likely situation is that he was already dead when he fell off the cliff, his body remained there, but his soul went to the city through the wolf's body, while those slaves left the city in body, but the soul stayed in the homeland, so these people At last they wanted to go back because they heard the joy of redemption sent to them by the soul. In addition, there are many small points in this movie worth pondering. The slingshot given to him by Tancredi is a bit like Don Quixote's feeling, "as a weapon against all the marquise in the world", that is, all the exploiters, Whether rich or poor. Tancredi may have seen something. He is helpless, decadent, struggling, and wants to find a "Tao", but he can't abandon what he has, so he will grow old, and he will not become a saint. Second, Lazaro found a lot of edible plants in their yard, as a native farmer, how could he not know about these? It's just that they forgot, they lost the most important nature of nature. When the little girl walked into the house like a wolf howl, they seemed to have returned to the small village at the time, and happiness and faces appeared on their faces again. Third, when the nuns in the church chased Lazzaro away, the piano was silent and the music seemed to be taken away by him. This passage is a bit like a story in Tagore's collection of reflections. The king built a beautiful temple for Naludama, but refused to help the displaced people, and the saints preferred to stay in the shade with the people and sing. Praise the gods. When the king let him go, the saint said: Well, banish me from the place where you banished God. As the saints say "God is not in your temple", the gods in the church have also been driven away by people's discrimination, which is a bit ironic, and today's religion does lose a lot of things. Finally, the wolf flees the city, which just proves this point. The natural nature of the wolf is just like the natural nature of the human being. It is fleeing the busy city, while the rigid body of the human (Lazaro, who was beaten to death by the people) is lying in the bank of capital, watching It pulls away from the body.

Besides, why is the fruit of that tree only available when Lazaro picked it, but not when Tancred picked it? When Lazaro shed tears under that tree in the city, doesn't he seem relieved? Did Karmani realize the right path under the Bodhi tree? Does he think that human nature is inherently evil (those poor people also exploit Lazaro, the marquise said, no one does not take advantage of others, that is impossible), people should save themselves through self-redemption, so I think the lyrics at the end of the film: run Let's run Lazaro, it feels better to be the title than the happy Lazaro.

Happy as Lazzaro quotes

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: Human beings are like animals. Set them free and they realize they are slaves locked in their own misery. Right now, they suffer, but they don't know. I exploit them, they exploit that poor man. It's a chain reaction that can't be stopped.

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: He who knows himself well is humbled in his own presence. And the praise of other men provokes no pleasure. If I were to know everything in the universe and scorned the charity who would bring me the grace of God? Who would judge my actions? One should go beyond the thirst for knowledge that is the root of distraction and disappointment.
