It cannot be saved, it can only exist!

Stone chose a utilitarian path, but went to self-redemption.

Jack has been trying to save himself, but has gone to destruction.

Yes, Lucita is a monster.
When conventional moral norms cannot control a person, it is often difficult for us to understand what this person does. In fact, it is possible that the beauty that this person pursues is also what we like, but it is only those beauty that can easily make us fall. We don't chase not because we don't love, but because we can't control ourselves. It's not that we don't want to, but we don't dare!

The wonderful thrill of her chasing, including rescuing the stone, was nothing but chasing another of her own prey. There is no good or evil.

Jack's kindness was so weak in the face of his own inner demons.
I have to say that the two big names - De Niro and Norton's acting skills are really awesome.

It is worth mentioning that the second time Jack went to Lucita, the performance of that scene was too strong. A self-rescue of Jack's absurd evolution turned into a complete depravity! Good looks so powerless in the face of evil! What evil needs to do is to wait, wait for an opportunity, when that moment comes, you can only be swallowed by him!

Where are we from? where are we going. Why do we do this?
These questions have always bothered us, and we have never found the answers. Where is God when we need salvation? We waited all the time, but in the end we didn't even wait for Godot!
Our existence is doomed to a tragedy, and no one knows where we will go. You made the choice, not because you wanted it, but because God made it for you. So who is God? Does God exist? To quote a character: God is everywhere, how can I konw?

So it is destined to be nothing! so! Admit it! You are guilty! Your sin is not that you have committed a sin, or who hurt who, but the devil you hide in your heart. Your confession cannot alleviate your sins, much less save yourself. But what else can you do but confess your sins and live humbly? Everything is an illusion, except the pain, which makes you feel alive!

in addition……
There are always bees in the film. Whether it's the bee at the beginning, or the bee flapping sound that keeps appearing later. Consider bees, perhaps their society is a miniature version of human society. When we think about ourselves, we often think too much, the authorities are obsessed, and let go of those stereotypes. Taking care of other species often gives us more inspiration!

Stone quotes

  • Stone: We're all God's co-workers.

  • [last lines]

    Radio Interviewer: [talking calls] Next up here is Gerald, from south west Detroit. Welcome, Gerald.

    Stone: I, I just wanna say, I got this book. They say that when you experience a spiritual truth, that it comes to you through sound. If you let this sound go through you, it changes you, you know? Puts you back into harmony. You know, it makes you like a tuning fork of God.

    Radio Interviewer: Okay...

    Stone: Yeah. They say, they say, you can start with small things, like little vibrations. You know, sound of a bee, sound of a buzzing light, and then it grows.

    Radio Interviewer: All right. That's interesting.

    Stone: Well, they say that everything that happens to you is what was supposed to happen to you, for you to advance. But you gotta come back lots a times, cycle through many lives until you learn, so you can grow.

    Radio Interviewer: Well, thanks for your input. Next time up here in the WDDL listener line is Kathy in Farmington...
