(Sorry for spoilers) The story tells the story of the daughter of God, who first informed everyone of the time of human death by text message, then locked her father's computer that controls the world and ran away from home, and came to the world to gather disciples like her brother Jesus. , created a new vision for the human world under the rule of her tyrannical and cruel father. First of all, this is an excellent "sci-fi" idea, but the director just rightly confines the human world in the film to the dwelling place of God: Brussels, the plot is also relatively light and ingenious, and does not pay much attention to realistic logic, avoiding the traditional doomsday genre that is too big and unreasonable. Secondly, the whole film talks about the daughter's six disciples in fragments, showing the many choices of human beings after cracking their fate. At the same time, there are several couples among these people, and some people dare to face their true self. Love and self-liberation are the ultimate salvation for all. Finally, God's Wife - the clumsy and useless housewife who finally changed everyone's destiny and created a new lovely world. Motherhood saves the world, and the author's childlike loveliness can also be seen from this composition.
The film largely deconstructs Christian culture, trying to tell and explore the ultimate question about destiny: how do we live when we no longer have hope for the future. The special effects/big scenes of this film are different from sci-fi/magic in the traditional sense. It is completely based on the need to show restraint and calmness in the plot, without any exaggerated texture. On the contrary, it creates a large number of poetic shots, plus classical characters. The theme soundtrack is set, compassion is mixed with joy, and it is deep and interesting at the same time. Watching is highly recommended. Of course, its downsides are as obvious as its upsides: like all idea-based and multi-perspective films, this one cannot escape the harsh logic and characterization of reality. But it's just a movie, can you expect it to teach you how to live? The mystery of fate will exist forever, and the movie can only provide a kind of dream.
Finally, quote a line from "Prometheus Bound":
Prometheus: "Yes, I make mankind no longer expect death." Chorus: "What medicine have you found to cure this disease?" Prometheus: "I sow blind hope into their hearts."
The Super New Testament is actually a type of blind hope.
