This is probably the film with the fewest lines I've ever seen. A pair of lovers are taciturn, mostly natural voices, various sounds on the farm: the voice of the male protagonist wearing rain boots walking on the dirt and stone roads; his The gasping of exhausted farm work, the gasping of making love with a stranger in a cattle wagon, the cry of a lost lover, the sound of hangover and vomiting; the bleating of sheep, giving birth to the ewe, the lamb from the ewe's body The sound of being pulled out from the inside; the sound of milking the goat, the milk pouring into the basin; the sound of shoveling grass; the sound of repairing the fence, repairing the stone wall, the sound of knocking on the stone; the sound of a man urinating on the stone wall...
The whole movie is accompanied by various sounds, like sneaking into other people's lives. The lack of the mother's role, the indifference of the father, especially the inconvenience of walking after a stroke, vented the physical pain on the only son. The grandmother was very old, and she was overwhelmed by the trivial housework of taking care of the two men's daily life, and she did not smile. The male protagonist has become numb and has a phobia of intimacy. He just finds strange men to vent his physical desires, and never hugs or kisses them affectionately. " You're never being loved properly." (You're never being loved properly. ) This is what my psychiatrist once said to me, and I think the same goes for the male lead.
Until the second male from Romania came to help the farm, his kindness and patience melted the male lead's dusty heart. He finally felt what it was like to be well loved. It was gentle and warm, and it could dissolve the cold wind in the mountains. But this movie is not just about the love between these two men, there are also many family scenes of the male protagonist, and the loneliness and hard work of the farm are all presented in the movie.
What touched me the most were two scenes: one was the scene where the male protagonist's father was pushing his father for a walk and having a candid talk with him after he was discharged from the hospital. This reminds me of a sentence posted by Know yourself two days ago: to separate from the family spiritually, no longer to look at your life with the eyes of your parents, and no longer to demand yourself with the standards of your parents. Maybe only in this way can you start your own life. Finally, the male protagonist told his father that he would run the farm in his own way and live in his own way. And my father, who experienced two strokes, said calmly in a wheelchair, if only it makes you happy. I think perhaps the most difficult thing for parents is to really let their children make their own life choices and not dictate.
The second is that the male protagonist restores the lover who is angry with him. A arrogant and cold person like the male protagonist, who took such a long train ride and waited for hours at the farm where the second male lead worked, it took a lot of courage to do these actions, and he put down a lot of face he cared about before, but Finally, when it was time for the second male, he hesitated, pretending to be nothing but asking for help, failing to impress his beloved. In the end, he turned back, complained loudly about his grievances, and expressed his sincerity. Finally, he opened the protective shell of his indifference and put his heart into the hands of his lover. At this time, he was not only loved, but also learned to love.
PS: I didn't understand why the movie was called "Country of God" until I checked the Yorkshire where the story takes place, which has a history of 2,000 years and is the largest county in England, called "Country of God". York accent is also very characteristic, coming sounds more like /kuming/.
When watching the ending, the two young boys were crying and hugging each other. I laughed with my aunt, and I was moved to tears.
