After watching the film, I was infected by the younger brother Holland, and couldn't help but yawn.
I watched it at home after get off work in the evening. After I finished it, I pulled the curtains and looked at the night outside the window and the bright and dim urban neon. The most impressive thing in my trance turned out to be the sunshine in the film.
Most of the scenes are sunny, the characters are blinded by the sunlight, and those who have been guilty of crimes are as sincere and beautiful as innocent believers in this sunlight.
The crazy pastor who just killed his wife and left his cousin, God didn't answer him, I don't know what was on his mind? He regards spiders as the test of God. Did the spiders swallowed in countless missions crawled around him in the dark cabinet? And when he walked with his wife in the woods and bathed in the sun, did he take the sun as a test of the devil - if you can't do godly things in the eyes of God, you have to crawl back to hell .
He did, expecting with joyful anticipation that the God of faith would caress his head and bring his wife back to life.
The last sight he saw when he met the murderer was the same as the one he saw before his wife died. In the woods, the wind and the birds chirped, thinking of the young daughter Renola.
God is still fulfilled, but he will not follow the will of the devil.
I believe that the pastor sublimated his faith in God at the last moment, while Yavin’s father had the exact opposite situation and choice: praying day and night to save his wife, committing suicide after his wife left.
Suicide is not allowed to go to heaven, which is the seed of the shattering and survival of faith.
Humans cannot think of going to heaven, which is the contradiction between faith and life. You can only go to the Promised Land if you die, but you need to live, even if you're crucified like a living skinned man, wailing in pain, still breathing, because you're going to live.
The father left this seed to Yawen by suicide.
Yavin never prayed after that. He would accompany his stepsister to the grave to pray, but just watch. Renoola is clearly a tragic character, where does her firm belief come from? Mostly because of her father's pastor status and the rumors of killing her wife and fleeing, she pushed her closer to God - out of a desire for love and understanding. She truly loves the mother and father she has never met, even if this love is to make her life hopeful, like the ballast of a pontoon at sea. But when the ship is broken, the ballast must be thrown away, so that it can continue to float, and there is hope that life will continue. After being humiliated and bewitched by language, she obviously wanted to understand at the last moment. Although foot slips seemed absurd, they were inevitable.
It was raining and cloudy when she went to feel God with the new pastor. The forest is wide and there is no sunlight.
When she was about to commit suicide, it was in a dark shack. The sun can't get in either.
God is only under the sun.
The priest played by Robert Pattinson is a very special character in this film. His appearance is the welcome of the local people to the spokesperson of the gods: around his description, it is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins: gluttony, arrogance, laziness, lust, rage...
And the scene he was in was no exception, either in the car or in the rainy day, always under the shelter of shadows.
His final scene, where Yavin walks in from the sun, retells his crimes in a placid and nonchalant manner, shoots.
In this scene, the roles are reversed, facing the priest, like Yavin is the messenger of God, carrying out the judgment of sinners.
The section in the middle shows that Yawen discovered his crime, using the voyeuristic perspective to force the audience into Yawen, but the voyeur itself is guilty and pleasurable.
Yavin is not a righteous character, and Yavin is not a messenger of God.
The scene of what happened in the back is similar. In the house, the evil succeeded; in the sun, the evil thoughts had nowhere to hide.
Like a victim who usually sits in the middle of the rear seat, Yawen is very close to the door. The small design of the arrangement is also very interesting, and it is everywhere. So I think in the last scene Yavin hitchhike was okay, he was sitting in the front row, which is a place in itself that has a sense of control.
The background of the whole story is bound in a town, although there are many highway bridges in the film, many characters tried to leave here several times, but failed to make it.
There are still many details. Although it is a movie adapted from the book, I think the deconstruction and performance of the vision and characters in the movie are brilliant enough.
God's existence may not be what people understand and hope -
God does not save, God just sits on the sidelines.
The devil does not do anything, the devil only causes evil thoughts.
After all, it's still a human game.
This is the land abandoned by God.
