With a poem like a dream, it tells a love dilemma. There's very little frontal dialogue throughout the film, and it's not loud, like background sounds or whispers.

There are chasing and playing in the empty seaside or grassland, and there are no opposites and no words in the same picture. The tenderness of love, the fragmentation of love, the care of love, and the hurt of love are all in the picture. People who have loved, face fragmentation, and after the experience, they will remember from afar, everything is like a dream, there is no clear logic, only a few key words, first love, infatuation, indulge and escape.

In fact, to put it simply, there is nothing missing in this story, the loneliness, consolation, lust, betrayal, and hurt in a typical love story. These things that can be shown with lines are all in the background, it is just what love carries.

There is a priest in the movie, and the third will narrate the inner man, and he is also exploring love, divine love, eternal love. Is there such love? We are only mortals.

Although there is little dialogue in the whole story, the story is still very clear, and the meaning is clear and not popular. The cinematography is well-composed and beautiful.

To the Wonder quotes

  • Marina: I write on water what I dare not say.

  • Father Quintana: We wish to live inside the safety of the laws. We fear to choose. Jesus insists on choice. The one thing he condemns utterly is avoiding the choice. To choose is to commit yourself. And to commit yourself is to run the risk, is to run the risk of failure, the risk of sin, the risk of betrayal. But Jesus can deal with all of those. Forgiveness he never denies us. The man who makes a mistake can repent. But the man who hesitates, who does nothing, who buries his talent in the earth, with him he can do nothing.
