The free translation is "Don't approach strangers". The revelation and lessons brought to us by this film are far higher than its repression. We need to accept this unpleasant revelation. It was a relief for Owen to leave the town that made him miserable (mentioned in the movie), but he went into an endless loop that left the audience struggling.
1. The true love of "father"
There is no doubt that the father in the movie loves Ai Wen completely, unreservedly, and loves her so much that he violates human nature. The only blood I have left is given to Ai Wen. When we are sighing and praising such love, don't forget that this kind of love is based on the premise of killing people. This kind of unacceptable love that violates human moral standards is exactly what "don't approach strangers" brings Our revelation.
2. Compassionate Irving
It can be said that the character of Ai Wen is pitiful and hateful. On the one hand, in order to survive, she had to kill to keep herself alive, perhaps this was not what she hoped, because the human instinct to survive was uncontrollable; on the other hand, when she wanted to survive, she would kill or use How hateful it is when someone close to you kills life, this kind of torture of endless life makes people cute and pitiful. In the movie, Ai Wen unceremoniously kicked the father out of the room in order to communicate with Owen across the wall. The father spent his whole life for her, but we saw endless quarrels from Owen's perspective, and even came out of the father's mouth. The word "bitch" shows how far the relationship between the two has reached. In my opinion, it's not that the father doesn't love Ai Wen anymore, but this kind of murder for the beloved from the teens to the fifties. Life has numbed her, and father was numb when she found that Ivan no longer liked herself. For father, death is the only relief. The real world does not allow him to continue to live, and Aiwen, who supports him, gradually moves away from him. Only one death is the relief for him to rest, im tired, yes, this is the true thought of father's heart.
3. The reason why the liberated Owen
makes us uneasy is because when we watch a movie, we put some of our own experiences on the protagonist. I am afraid of the result in the film, because we hope it is good, and Owen in the film should have a good life, but when it comes to the photo of father and Iwen in the film when they are young, everything is so bleak. Seeing her parents divorced early, living in a single-parent and uncaring family, having no friends, being bullied by classmates at school, and getting rid of her current life is a relief for Owen, and she deserves a bright future. At the end of the movie, Irving and Irving got on the train heading for the future. For Irving, this is just another beginning, another boring beginning in an endless life, and for Irving, it is just another father of a cycle. Of course, this is all a personal guess, and we certainly don't want it to be like this. Maybe Ai Wen really loves Owen, and for him, the two ended their lives happily in the end!
PS: I personally think that the rating of this movie should be quite high, but it is not. And the reason for such a low rating may be that people with low ratings have seen the Swedish version. The second reason is the tangled ending of the film.
