As a choreographer and director who started making films after going to college, this is the first film I see in my memory. The Super New Testament taught me the magic of Belgian cinema. The romantic element runs through this slightly sci-fi and absurd film, and it doesn't fall in the slightest. The doomsday warning brought by the little angel's rebellion freed humanity, and also allowed the imprisoned god to gain humanity.
The author of the tramp, the one-armed woman and the killer, the lady and the chimpanzee, the adventurer and the bird, the lecher and the beautiful girl, and the boy who is calmly waiting for death, they are the disciples of the angel Yiya, and they are indeed ordinary people. They have desires, pursuits, and the most instinctive impulses in their hearts. It seems unreasonable to compare them with his brother JC's twelve disciples. But the smile and excitement of the goddess and the experience of Jesus to his sister at the beginning show that maybe everything is so the same and just right, and everything is so absurd and mysterious. This may also explain why the twelve disciples of Jesus were also fishermen and the like. The later stories may only be a good guess for future generations, so it is not difficult to understand Judas' betrayal. Aside from the god who is like garbage without a computer, all of God's actions are like embroidery. Each stitch is exactly in that position, and it does have different colors, and each stitch is embroidered into a different pattern.
In the film, the angel Yiya collects the tears of human beings, listens to the music in people's hearts, gives artificial dreams to the sad, and makes the confused people understand the words of animals. As she said, there are only some small tricks, poor knowledge, and many things can't be done. She is a rebellious little girl. She can't bear the plight of the world created by her father, and comes to the world, but all she does is find six people, talk to them, tell them the purpose and the music in each person's heart, and then leave, but bring changed. Music, words, movements... Simple things are the best comfort when it comes to the right medicine.
The road is simple, this is the truth that the film's final setting tells us to get out of the predicament. The way the bastard god keeps looking for restarting the computer is actually to unplug it, put on the vacuum cleaner, clean the room, and then plug it back in again. For you, it's as simple as choosing the number she likes.
Another point of this movie that is very healing is the dark humorous hilarity brought by the bastard god father. You can't do anything without the computer. JC tells the truth in one sentence. Sure enough, the predicaments created by the experiencers themselves are really enjoyable in terms of look and feel. Healing calmly while scolding Mercury retrograde, this setting makes the romance of this film more natural.
Regarding some points in the film, I can't think clearly. Since the gods can do nothing without the computer, who created the computer? Who chose the gods? How did that stupid cute goddess get together with the bastard god? Does God Really Embroider?
