How should this be understood? If I speculate according to the meaning of the film, my understanding is that the life and death of people are God's business, and no one can make decisions and judgments in the name of God.
There are not many characters, but the story is not simple, an old doctor, a woman and two men (one never shows up, the other is her husband). The woman's husband was seriously ill and was in the hospital. The woman was pregnant with another man's child. It was not easy to get pregnant at her age. The father of the child was waiting for her abroad. But the problem is that the woman can't let go of the two men, and unless her husband dies, she can't keep the child. So she went to the old doctor to ask about her condition every day. In order to get the real situation, she told the old doctor everything. Finally the old doctor told her, don't have an abortion, your husband is dead. real? real. you swear? I swear. At the end, the husband did not die, and with the joy of the rest of his life, he told the old doctor that we were going to have children. Oh, congratulations.
The charm of Keith's films is that there are many places that give you most of the place to chew. Like the part where the old doctor swears her husband must die. From the previous episodes, we can know that this old doctor, who seems to be indifferent to people, loves plants and birds at home, and the most important thing is to learn that he lost his relatives, especially children, in the war. So is it because he has a natural love for children that he can't bear to let women have abortions? The woman once asked him if he believed in God, and he said he only believed in his own. So at that moment, did he want to violate God's authority to save a child's life? Or, he knows that God is insurmountable, so he saves a child with a trivial lie (his ignorance of the man's condition becomes his conviction that the man will die). Or, it's not that complicated at all. At that time, the old doctor may have definitely thought that the man was going to die, so he sentenced the man to death medically without any other purpose, but God can't tolerate such an ultra vires existence at all. He overturned the death penalty and, in addition, used the overreach itself to overturn the woman's attempt to kill her own child as a god. A neat double negative!
Compared with the previous episode, this episode does not know if it is because the heroine is a member of an orchestra, the music appears much more frequently than the previous episode. The flute sound, which seemed bleak and lonely in the last episode, has become a string concerto in this episode. Although the main melody is still difficult to warm up, there is one thing—hope.
In one shot, the husband just opened his eyes and saw a drowning insect carefully crawling between the water and the spoon in the can of fruit his wife brought him, for fear of falling, but still enjoying it greedily. honey juice.
It's nice to be alive.
Seems to be off topic.
