2. It is not so much "the priest is in trouble" as it is "the society is in trouble". The death of a priest who was told in advance involved a small area, the reality and the inner pathology of several people.
3. The priest in the film is not a model of absolute sanctification. In fact, he is more secularized. He was more like a psychiatrist when he listened to the confession and preaching. Many recent works—except for those films that explicitly criticize religion—most of the descriptions of priests are willing to secularize them. On the one hand, this is a mirror image of the real society, on the other hand, it is more conducive to the unfolding of the story. Put a character in a broader and more complex society, rather than being imprisoned in a steeple church.
4. The identity of the priest is very interesting. He was married and had a daughter. He became a priest after his wife died. For him, this is a process of "purification", withdrawing from the world, and for his position, his past seems to be more conducive for him to understand the interpersonal relationships and the difficult to straighten out in the world. Emotional encounters. This is destined to make him more tolerant of people, and he will not simply look at the dunya based on religious dogma.
5. The priest's daughter is a symbol of "problem" in itself. Distressed, nervous, and attempted suicide. This last point is almost blasphemous. But the moment the priest saw his daughter, he changed into the role of father. To some extent, the title Father in the movie contains both clergy and secular meaning. In a secular sense, he seems to have become the overall image of a father in this small town.
6. He met the man who claimed to take his life in a few days, and therefore asked the church leaders for advice on how to deal with it. High-level clergy are portrayed as typical professional and indifferent images. This contrast between cold and warm has pushed the priest to a lonely and tragic position. No one is his backing, he himself is destined to become a victim.
7. People lined up to receive the sacrament, and almost all the characters showed up at this time. People with different dresses, different expressions, and their own ghosts, after swallowing that small slice of pancake, continue to return to the world where they cannot break free, trapping themselves. The meeting with the priest this time was more like a review of each other full of coping. The priest makes a judgment about this group of people in his mind, and they construct their own imagination to the priest, pious, disdainful or indifferent.
8. The woman wearing sunglasses to cover her bruises is a representative of "erotic desire". She and the immigrant swaggered through the city. The relationship between the two was full of weird tension, mixed with pure sex and resolution of loneliness, which was difficult to tell; that woman’s The husband, who plays a role defeated by life, only requires the "freedom" to live and live. He stands in front of a row of frozen meat, full of symbolism. The freezing room where the corpse is stored is like a corpse; black immigrants, It is a typical secular image. Perhaps because he has experienced too much violence and black reality, he can no longer believe in the light of God. For the priest, he expressed his ridicule with a cigarette butt; the drunk successful person is The spokesperson of the "Lost Lamb" does not know the direction, and seeks a sense of existence by dispersing his wealth, but he has been in a situation of seeking spiritual guidance; the young man who is trapped by interpersonal or male-female relations may be this town The most kind-hearted one, the priest opened for him and advised him to adjust his relationship with the world "on the road." The priest might really want to save this child... There are too many character settings that want to carry meaning, such as The hedonistic doctor, the pragmatic bar owner, the snobbish church colleague, and the widow, everyone has a "meaning" that needs to be stated, but due to the director's skill problem, all this seems to be They are so disorganized that they all need to be reinterpreted and thought about, rather than naturally revealed in the story. In this sense, the collection of these characters is a failure.
9. But one thing is clearly highlighted-the pathology of society. This town has become a microcosm of society and the world, and everyone is trapped in an emotion, an event, or a period of the past. People struggle, surrender or try to win. The death of the priest eventually became a victim of this pathological change.
10. He threw the gun away on the cliff and he gave up the possibility of self-defense. This is mixed with two meanings. First, he may still believe in the flash of humanity, and he feels that he can not fall into desperation; second, he has gone to death gladly. This seems to be the only moment when his "God personality" was highlighted as a priest. Use self-sacrifice to awaken certain lives.
