It has the usual calmness and delicacy of Nordic films, very smooth, and the ending is somewhat uneven and too warm (warm). However, it is said that in order to cater to the Oscar foreign language film, a few clips that can make the film sharper and extend the meaning are cut. The two boy actors are very good, Christian's hardness is easy to break, and it is in place. Elias' father, the soft facial expression and the light and shadow are very contrasting. The two represent the opposing viewpoints in the film, with the dark side of human nature, how to face the violent world outside the body. Violence with violence, or forgiveness for redemption? And the so-called better world, how to accommodate the beauty and ugliness of this human nature?
Denmark in the film is breathtakingly beautiful. Elongated lens, quiet light and shadow; there is no so-called scenic spot, just ordinary land and blue sky. Such quiet beauty is heartbreaking.
