1. Only the True God
Regardless of whether he believed it blindly or not, my father went to the ice for an interview in person after he came to the conclusion; strange thing, but my father stopped there. face, but looking around
It is difficult to say that the blind faith is the theme itself, it is just an introduction to the theme of "recognizing the uniqueness of God", behind which is the impermanence of fate, unpredictable but also linked to countless coincidences
The ink bottle cannot predict life and death, but it points out that the ice surface breaks up almost simultaneously like a bad omen, never underestimate the unmeasurableness of the world, and perhaps also cannot refuse coincidence

2. Do not take the main name in vain
The doctor struggled because of the same belief, but got two contradictory results - lying can save lives, telling the truth against killing, and finally choosing to lie to save the child's life
The woman was in a dilemma because of the wrong steps, for fear that the bamboo basket would be empty and struggling, and finally decided to have an abortion because she could not bear to regard "dying" as "dead", and gave up another relationship because of love.
In the end, the woman decides not to have any relationship with the band's lover, and at the same time saves the child because of the doctor's lie, and the long-sick husband accepts the child, and the two are later released by the narrow-minded driver in "Don't Kill". Dove, life seems to be back on track
Abortion is not important, what is important is how people make up their minds in the double torture; the conclusion is not important, what is important is the weighing, struggle and self-tear before making a conclusion, it is in the countless times of self-doubt and judgment , the more you understand yourself, the more perfect your cognition of society, the world and destiny
[Young man] As a doctor, he appeared in a ward where only the husband and wife were alone, and stared at the woman's worried expression
3. Keep the Holy Days

5. Don't kill people
Let's call Chapter 5 "Short Films" and "Murder Short Films" as "Features"
The title of the feature film does a great job of setting off the lifeless and lifeless atmosphere, but this tone is really difficult to put in a short film series, and the overly expressive style is difficult to integrate into the realistic brushstrokes of the short film.
The whole story revolves around the coincidence of chance and the impermanence of fate. It takes space to describe the "daily life" of Jacek, the driver and the lawyer. Through the accidental intertwining of their lives, and the bitter fruit of this accidental intertwining, it is a consistent comparison of Jacek's killing and being killed. Only by fully respecting the complexity of human beings and the unpredictability of life can we abandon the simple and clear judgment on the right and wrong of the death penalty.
Compared with the feature film, the volume of the short film is difficult to carry the three character lines, and it can only keep the intersection, and cut out a lot of their respective scenes. For the theme of Killing Commandment, the short film editing is a disaster.

6. Do not commit adultery
Although the short film is also quite good, the emotional and dramatic tension of the long film is obviously stronger. For example, after the dispute outside the post office is over, after Tommy leaves lonely, the plot of Magda's hesitant to talk is also preserved, and the restaurant caresses the hand. It's really a place where lust has reached the top, even lust has to stand aside, it's hard to put on ice to cool the blood, under the red window, I talk about love, but you laugh at it
Maybe because of the reason of following the theme, the short film is hurt by "voyeur". After the recovery, he will no longer voyeurize, which coincides with the theme of "don't commit adultery". It is unknown whether we can disregard the previous grudges and reconcile with one another after seeing a smile on our face.
When Tomick was delivering milk and secretly handing out money orders, he ran into the male protagonist of Chapter 9's morning exercise and cycling.
The feature film abandons the explicit ending of the two and focuses on the topic of "love". The woman sees the love she has never seen through the telescope and bursts into tears, because his love is not adultery or lust, but wants to wipe Dry the milk you spilled when you're sad, and want to take a bite of buttered bread at the same time as you
