Your heart is full of hatred and no room for hope

For a long time, I didn't write anything for the film, and I even thought that I had lost the ability to write. But some things are like learning a bicycle, once you learn it, you can't forget it again.

One night, when I came back from get off work at night, my aunt was watching a Korean soap opera. It happened that a lawyer said to a recently divorced woman he was dating: The bowl must be empty to hold things. Your heart is full of hatred, how can you hold it? what about me?
For past wounds and lost emotions, under what circumstances can one choose to forgive and not forget, or forget and not forgive?
It seems to me that 1921's "Ghost Carriage" is a story about choosing forgiveness and forgiveness.

The outline of the story is really lackluster in today's complicated script layout, but with such a simple plot, the struggles and pains of human nature are still vivid in my mind today after 1992.
The story is made up of several scripts, similar to the pattern of stage scripts. The main line is a mysterious ghost carriage, which is the car of the god of death, and the last person who dies on New Year's Eve will become the coachman of the second year, as the servant of the god of death to take away the souls of those dead until the next year. rotation.
A nun in a small town met the homeless David on New Year's Eve, and she believed that David was the mission sent to her by God, in order to help David regain his soul and let go of revenge and pain. The nun encountered various obstacles and misfortunes, and she also suffered from tuberculosis. In the end, she saved David's soul with self-sacrifice. David finally prevented his wife who could not bear to live with him from committing suicide, and saved his own soul. .
The nun was convinced that David was wheat growing from thorns, but she could not keep him from being ridiculed. David learned the value and dignity of life through death and forgiveness, and finally let go of hatred and pain.
The whole film does not have any recited lines. The lines are all Swedish alphabets. It is more about guessing their psychology and meaning by looking at the expressions, movements and mouth shapes of the characters. Among the guesses and speculations, the character is no longer a rigid script, but a small person with an independent personality. The soundtrack uses the accompaniment of piano and violin, which is extremely exciting with the changes of the plot. With the music alone, the film's storytelling and watchability are impeccable.
Before God harvests our soul, let it mature.
David finally got a chance to rehabilitate, so that his broken life can be repaired and started again. But there are a few Davids in the world who can finally turn back their prodigal son, and how many nuns in the world have the courage to sacrifice themselves.
The movie said it well, she blindly sacrificed herself, but asked for nothing in a
simple sentence, and the sadness, loneliness, hard work and pain in it were just a sentence of sacrifice of herself.

    Give up the body and soul, and use all love to change evil deeds. The idea is so lofty, it is touching and emotional. Although it is a silent film, it does not lose its color at all. There are three types of post-coloring, which are clearly divided into indoor warm (yellow) color, outdoor cool (blue) color, and recalling red. The film uses early overprinting techniques, and the actors perform to the core.

    Five acts. The old problem, I want to see the ending without redemption. But not agreeing with the values ​​does not prevent you from enjoying the film. The overall sadness, romance, and delicacy, the performance and the soundtrack all contribute. I love the scene where the ghost carriage slowly takes away the soul and the last year's coachman slowly gets off the carriage. And a digression: the most impressive movies I've watched recently are all about alcoholism. Alcoholics live in another world. It is very difficult to face a more dull, blatant and bleak world after sober.
