Involving spoilers, the following only represents my personal understanding after watching the movie once
The whole film is told around Mead Town and is divided into roughly four perspectives. The whole film is very restrained and a very calm description of a reality that may happen. The name of "the devil all the time" also indicates that the film Expounding the evil of human beings, the Chinese translation of "The Land Forsaken by God" is roughly in my understanding, not just about people's beliefs, but a satire of reality from an atheistic point of view, as well as a reminder of blind faith.
Willard has faith, and always believes that he will impress God to bring them a peaceful and stable life. Life is constantly looking for trouble, and he is burdened with a mortgage. Even in a remote life, he cannot avoid people's malice. Under the constant harassment, Will couldn't bear to teach them a lesson and set an "example" for Arvin, but Charlotte still got cancer, which made Willard feel that his prayers were not enough and his faith in God was not enough, so he killed the family's The dog jack is a sacrifice, but it's clear that the film is also a cruel expression of fate, and willard commits suicide soon after leaving their child arvin orphaned
It is cruel to write that even a family who worked hard to live did not get a happy and peaceful life
Later, Helen, who was originally "matched" to Willard in the church, was attracted by a pair of brothers and married Roy, who worshipped God infinitely. Roy was bitten by his own "prop" spider because of his big performance in the church, and he began to over-believe. Interpretation, after three days of self-isolation in the closet at home, he planned to murder his wife Helen. Why do you say it was murder, because his brother was sharpening the screwdriver for him at that time. It should have been planned. Lie to Helen When going for a ride, his brother made an excuse because of his disability and said that he was fine in the car. After that, Helen was stabbed to death by Roy, but Roy resurrected his wife with the power of God. Roy's stupidity, and his brother didn't show any surprise just told him calmly that your plan failed and tried to avoid the police. After one night, the brother woke up in the car and found that Roy had abandoned him and caught up with the serial killer couple car
Roy has no feelings, all he has is his obsession with being close to God, and his relatives seem to be nothing to him
Arvin and Lenora, who was also abandoned and became an orphan, grew up together in the grandmother's house. Their relationship was inseparable because of the hardships they experienced since childhood, but they also grew up together. Because of their experiences, their beliefs have become completely different. Arvin no longer believes in it. The power of prayer, using my own weak strength to protect my sister who was bullied at school, except that Arvin's family is still a typical rural American family, and I have no doubts about the new priest from the town. Che was constantly looking for answers to his situation, but this time, without his brother, he was tricked into the woods and insulted by the priest. Later, his younger sister became pregnant and asked the priest for an explanation. She was humiliated by the priest. Arvin came to understand later, killed the priest, and met a serial killer couple on the way to escape, but this time because Arvin was still in a panic, he was in a very vigilant state, and because the living environment made him cautious, he completed the investigation. Two perverted counter-kills
After growing up, Arvin is so sensible. In addition to taking care of his sister, he has also become the backbone of the family. Under his father's demonstration, he has become a man who has the courage to take responsibility.
The last point of view is as a black jing, lee in the town, turning a blind eye to the affairs of his sister and brother-in-law, and colluding with the evil forces in the town, but the fact is that as a policeman, he has been trampled by the black forces, and he is helped by the black forces. He was about to be elected, but at the same time because his sister's affairs were about to be revealed, Lee was afraid that his relationship with the town's eldest brother would be found out. He also likes to drink heavily at ordinary times. In order to kill the follower and him among the old people, for fear of getting involved, after learning that his sister had been counter-killed, he quickly went to his sister's house and burned all the photos that might affect his future, that is, those who were killed." Model", and then he will take action to get rid of the last insider, arvin, because of what he knew about this child before, lee found arvin in arvin's original remote home and was about to kill him, but in the end he was killed by arvin and completed two Arvin, who had fought back the second time, put the evidence he found next to the body and waited to be discovered, and Arvin once again embarked on a journey of escape.
Lee said "Here, I am the law" represents this part of the point of view, he is not actually in love with his sister, just because he is afraid of involving his own interests, (because of being involved in the election, he said to everyone when he was involved with the waitress Che Zhen like him, such arrogant words) and indirectly found arvin to cut off the clue to protect himself
The protagonists represent four kinds of people who live in the land of the legal frontier. In the countryside, they represent almost no man's land. No one is favored. The occurrence of the story is extreme, but the thought is a real reality. , the chaos of this era caused by four people without a clear goal may be my over-understanding. What this movie wants to tell us may be what is happening every minute and second at the moment, and it is not like the three frontier movies. The protagonists with the halo in the song are more like the result of everything in the chaos, and everyone's destiny will inevitably have his own result.
As the first time to write a slightly longer comment, there must be a lot of lack of understanding and lack of writing, I hope you will bear with me
