Chilling truth. - Light and dark double-line murder
The title of the film is "Will God Forgive Us?" Who said that? murderer.
The object that needs to be forgiven is "we", so there is more than one perpetrator. The main story in the film is that two police officers pursue the murderer who raped and murdered an elderly woman. Psychoanalysts deduced that the murderer had been suppressed by a powerful mother from childhood, with whom the relationship was both panic and close.
As the main story unfolds step by step, the murderer's mother: a devout Catholic; the murderer himself: a child who has received communion since childhood, and his home is full of religious books, which he carries with him and reads. Screenwriter's torture: Is God on their side?
Although the main plot is cruel and bloody, after the POV of the murderer in the second half, the sense of horror is weakened. Triggers people to get to know him and empathize with him.
On the other hand, the dark line plot sank underwater until the end, which brought far and deep fear to the audience.
The stuttering police officer Velarde goes to his mother's tomb to lay flowers, and the tombstone reads "Always miss your son". Through the dialogue with the violent policeman Alfaro and Velarde's self-report, we learned that Velarde had a difficult childhood experience, and his stuttering was also caused by being beaten by his mother.
Velardo's psychological empathy for the murderer, including his fear and attachment to his mother, and his kindness to small animals.
These are all preparing the psychological and background for Velardo's murder.
Velardo came home from get off work, met a female cleaner mopping the floor in the corridor, and was attracted by the beautiful female cleaner. While the female cleaner was mopping the floor, deliberately played music in the room to attract her attention. Although peeping at the movements of female cleaners through cat's eyes at this time has a potential criminal signal, we can still understand it as a normal trick to approach women.
When the two went downstairs together, the female cleaner's expression was ambiguous and pleasant, while Velardo's seemingly expressionless face seemed to endure some kind of impulsive desire, which was not like the progress of a relationship between a normal man and a woman he liked. expression of time.
Velardo hugged the cleaner from behind when the cleaner went to Velardo's house to deliver soup. At first the cleaning lady was gracious enough to be fondled, but then Velardo acted like an uncontrollable rapist.
Until the female cleaner accidentally fell and was injured, the red soup in her hand spilled on the white carpet, like blood scattered. Velardo stopped as if he had woken up suddenly. This brought back memories of his past murders.
During the next day's chat, Alfalo asked Velardo how to address his physical needs. Velardo turned away from his usual dull appearance and happily said he was looking for a prostitute. For Velardo, women are the prostitutes in his heart.
From fear and hatred of my mother, stuttering because of my mother's beatings and scolding, to being disgusted by women because of my stuttering. Velardo has hatred and revenge towards women, which is highly consistent with the murderer of the old woman. When the female cleaner had a good impression of Velardo, Velardo didn't know how to gradually fall in love normally. The way he treated women was to rape and kill directly.
When the murderer Andre's mother died, Velardo asserted with great certainty that the murderer would not kill again.
Some people say how he is so sure, unreasonable.
But if Velardo himself stopped the serial rape and murder after the death of his mother, then the line makes perfect sense. Velardo asked Alfaro what he would do in the face of a murderer, and the straight-forward Alfaro didn't even have to think about it. But when he asked Velardo back, Velardo couldn't answer, not because of his cowardice, but because he hadn't figured out how to face the other self. What kind of punishment should be given to the perpetrator? What kind of punishment should I give myself? Will God forgive us? he asked in his heart.
Velardo knocks on the cleaning lady's door and ends up sleeping with the cleaning lady. He was accepted by women, and the stuttering caused by fear and hatred of women also healed itself as the doctor said. God forgives Velardo
Three years later, Andre, who was on the run, was on the verge of repairing electrical appliances for the old woman again. Velardo found Andre alone in the heavy rain, "We should stop". The death of the mother symbolizes the healing of twisted mental illness, holding hands and being forgiven by God. Velardo put Andre on God's trial this time, and he sentenced Andre to death.
That's why Andrea could easily kill the sturdy Alfaro, only to be knocked unconscious by Velardo in the rain.
It was two symbolic fights.
Alfaro is a violent but warm and upright man. He ended up being fired from the police station, betrayed by his wife, and his beloved dog died because of his negligence. A representative of sunshine justice, and finally died in the blow of a criminal.
Velardo seems to be dull, with amazing perseverance and a sinful past. He ended up with a successful case, healed psychological wounds, and lived a normal life.
There are a lot of religious activities and scenes in the film, a torture of God.
Can God forgive us, and what is the standard of God's judgment?
