The film is a fantasy film. From the perspective of the storyline, love, chasing and killing...fashionable elements are all there. From the perspective of the scene, the castle at night, the white horse galloping on the glacier...the fantasy elements are also revealed. From the background music point of view, Hans Zimmer, the master who has created movie background music for countless blockbuster films, has joined, adding a psychedelic and peculiar feeling to the whole film. But these are not what I want to praise. Many people who have watched the film felt that the storyline was unclear, and felt a little bit incomprehensible. They said it was a love story, but they didn't feel the strong sadness and beauty. I think maybe the director hopes to convey some other information to people through this movie.
The protagonist of the story is an orphan named Peter Lake. When he was a baby, he was placed in a ship model named "City of Justice" and floated to New York City. He was forced to join a gang in order to survive and become a gangster. thief. But then he offended the gang boss (Russell Crowe) and had to start avoiding the gang. One day, when Peter sneaked into a big house to steal, he ran into his daughter Beverly (played by Jessica Brown Findley) and fell in love at first sight with this temperament girl who was born with tuberculosis. They were chased by gangsters. Love, but Beverly died suddenly while they were in love. After Peter lost his love in his life, he lost his memory after the murder of the gang boss. He has been in this way for nearly a hundred years, but his appearance has not changed. Later, his memory recovered and he met a girl suffering from cancer. With red hair like Beverly, Peter finally rescued the girl and left the world.
It seems that this love story is ridiculous, and the main line seems to be a love that travels through time and space. But looking carefully, from the beginning of the story, another main thread has been stated: everyone’s life can be a miracle for others, and everyone’s short journey into the world has his own mission, which can be done when the mission is completed. Back to heaven. Although Beverly is terminally ill, she has her mission. Her mission is to love Peter and change Peter's destiny. Her mission was accomplished. Peter regarded this girl as his own life. He was no longer a thief. He even spared his life to help her father and won his embrace. Peter also has his mission. Why does he live for nearly a hundred years without changing his appearance? Because his mission has not been completed, he didn't realize what he should do until he met a little girl suffering from cancer-his mission is to save this girl. When he completed his mission and changed the fate of the terminally ill girl, he flew to the stars on a white horse...
Although everyone has his own mission alive, not everyone can complete it. Although everyone can be a miracle, not everyone can live a miracle. There is another character in the story that cannot be underestimated, the gang boss. He comes from Satan and works for hell. His task is to degenerate people and cannot achieve miracles. Therefore, people can only stay in hell and be controlled by them, and cannot return to heaven. The reason why he pursued Peter was because he knew that Peter was not under his control and that he might live a miracle and return to heaven. In the process of changing his destiny and fulfilling his mission, Peter was constantly attacked by this devil, but from the very beginning, Peter decided to get rid of his control, and he resolutely struggled with him. He never gave in and surrendered. God also sent Tianma to help. He came to achieve his miracle.
When looking up at the stars, I think of the message that stories give us... Miracles and success are not just for those geniuses, each of us ordinary people has the opportunity to accomplish their own miracles. Indeed, our success, our miracle, is not impossible, it requires our own efforts and the blessing of heaven. When Satan comes to disturb us and intervene in our way to victory, no matter what means he uses, or tricks us into going astray, or violently beats us and sinks us, can we distinguish, can we persist in the confrontation? When we persist in resisting and resisting temptation and interference, we will eventually win God's favor and give help on the way of our lives so that we can accomplish the miracle of our lives.
