People in the village: This group of people has been liberated from the old slavery to the real society, but they have lived from real oppression to another illusory oppressive utopia. The enslaved debt labor in the past to the current swindle and abduction reflects the incomparably obvious dependence of the lower-level human beings on power in their bones. The film is full of countless shouts to "Lazaro", all of which are expressed by what the Marquise said: I exploit them, and they exploit the weaker, this is a food chain that can never be stopped. . When enslaved: Marquis - Prosecutor - Slave - Weak Slaves The real society is: the government - the bank - the people - the bottom people The last episode, Lazaro was beaten in the bank, and one of the women said: I have four children. This line reminds me of countless close-up shots of children in the village in the first half of the film. The so-called slavery and socialization, but both for survival, the essence of exploitation and oppression, class contradictions, no matter where they are, they will not disappear. The difference is that one is: clearly marked slavery. Another is: Social Hidden Utopia. Lazzaro: Lazzaro is undoubtedly the most important character in the film's symbolic representation. The opening celebration of no alcohol, shouting from left and right, guarding the chicken coop, and even the danger of being eaten by wolves and herding sheep were all accepted silently by Lazaro. He always smiles and accepts. The incomparably pure heart even made him feel that he was not a slave, and that he was oppressed by others, but it was his own willingness to sacrifice. That's why he dared to face the Marquis's son without changing his face when no one else dared to look directly at the son of the Marquis. His friendship with the Marquis' son was another sign of his purity. Cut hands without hesitation to donate blood, knelt down to give weapons, baptized in the rain with hesitant struggle. The first is sincerity, the second is commitment, and the third is redemption. This period of redemption is not only the rebellion of the Marquis's son, but also the freedom of mankind given by magicism. The slingshot is no longer a slingshot, but a weapon. Slaves are no longer slaves, but prisoners. But Lazaro is still Lazaro, holding the purest heart, from past life to future life. The narration of the symbolic item Lao Lang: The first half is the Marquis's deception. The second half is Lazaro's tour of the saints. Church chants: Songs are the most essential souls to purify human beings, but because of class reality, Lazaro and a group of people are not even qualified to listen to them. The slaves of the church drove away the devout people with the so-called mentality of saving all living beings, and the pure holy land was still infected by the real class. And then the miraculous performance: the music flew. Flying to the top of Lazaro's head, this is fantasy, and it is also the expression of Lazaro's purest heart. Wolf: The last clip of the wolf running through the traffic only makes me think that Lazaro is from Come not to feel enslaved by anyone, just as a wolf never feels that he is not in the wilderness. Screen frame: The details of this movie, instead of a full-screen bright frame, have a dark and hazy unique frame, which makes people more immersed in it, and makes the magic realism more unique. Conclusion: No matter how society evolves, it is full of the most essential things of human beings. The purity of Lazaro’s mind is a fable-like gift from God. The heart is in the long past and the future to redeem itself.

Happy as Lazzaro quotes

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: Human beings are like animals. Set them free and they realize they are slaves locked in their own misery. Right now, they suffer, but they don't know. I exploit them, they exploit that poor man. It's a chain reaction that can't be stopped.

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: He who knows himself well is humbled in his own presence. And the praise of other men provokes no pleasure. If I were to know everything in the universe and scorned the charity who would bring me the grace of God? Who would judge my actions? One should go beyond the thirst for knowledge that is the root of distraction and disappointment.
