The film takes love and struggle as the theme, and alternately narrates 4 stories from multiple perspectives.

crucifixion

French war

modern labor movement

A woman who experienced the labor movement lost her father and married a man. After being framed, the man was imprisoned and even faced the death penalty. With the help of a kind person, the woman successfully rescued the man who was about to be executed. .

Audio-visual language

This film is a silent film, and most scenes use symphony to render the atmosphere, which is very accurate. Because the film is silent, the actors express their crying, sadness, and excitement when they express more exaggerated performances, and use thick makeup to highlight the effect of tears and madness.

Regarding the scene differences, the film uses panoramic women shaking cribs and white subtitles to explain the switching and fading on the set. Most of the main narrative scenes are shot in panorama and multi-person medium shots, creating a sense of distance between the audience and the story. Compared with the modern immersive over-the-shoulder shots, first-person close-ups, cut-in, and cut-out directions, the film's narrative is relatively restrained.

It is worth mentioning that the end of this film is not any one of the above four story lines, and looking at the latest modern time line, the director expresses the theme by shooting angels in the sky and the scene of people falling in love with each other on the ground. : The gods protect the loving world, and people desperately pursue love and embrace love.
