But a movie is just a movie. If I don't have enough background knowledge to analyze the profound meaning of this movie, then I should read this story with an entertaining attitude.
Unfortunately, this story is not entertaining.
In my understanding, the Garden of Eden was supposed to be a beautiful place, but it was also full of temptations and sins. If you can't resist temptations, you will commit sins. What happens after a crime? Either be expelled or stay, but only corpses.
Everyone has a dark corner in his heart, so there are so many crimes in this society: murder, arson, rape, robbery, theft, bribery; there are also some behaviors that do not constitute a crime: trampling an ant, trampling on the grass, not Turn off the faucet, give people nicknames... All of this is because you have a bad side in your heart, you have desires, you can't resist the temptation of money and power, you are enjoying the perverts built on the sadness of others hapiness.
When three beggars come, one will die. The wife said: The three beggars have not come yet. In fact, the first chapter, sorrow; the second chapter, pain; the third chapter, despair. Before you know it, three beggars have arrived, someone, destined to die. So, my friends, when you are in grief, when you are in pain, take note: either cheer up or die in despair.
And the child in the film is very pure, you can feel his beauty, you can even see the soft light emanating from him. He always had a smile on his face, he was an angel. Angel should not fall in the dirty world, so he chose to leave and die on the same pure snow. Some people say: The child's smile is very strange, maybe he is laughing at the world. Fortunately: when the child died, three beggars also came.
At the beginning of the film, chants, slow motion, the picture is really beautiful, but I think the men are too old and the women are too ugly. The man was very familiar, and when he went back to check the information, he remembered that he was a drug addict in "The English Patient".
Regarding horror, I think the director's purpose has been achieved. Several scenes in the film made me shudder, and the sudden appearance of the wolf also startled me.
The Garden of Eden is full of temptations, and so is the world; the Garden of Eden hides sin, and so is the world. In fact, the needs of grass and trees are very simple, sunshine and rain, and the desire of animals is not much, predation and reproduction. What about humans? Human beings have too many desires. If one desire is satisfied, there will be a bigger desire until it cannot be satisfied, so pain, sadness, despair, and death. In fact, everyone understands these principles and is content, but who will abide by them?
Don't say it.
