The steadfastness of faith and the ubiquity of miracles are repeated in this film with an almost self-denying determination, because the priest who represents the gods has been constantly attacked since the film began to meet the neo-Nazi Adam. Exposing his inner beliefs—faith is so vulnerable until the priest’s own deformed child appears and the priest’s tragic life experience is revealed, which seems to mean that belief is really vulnerable in the face of the truth. The film’s images also hint at this everywhere: in front of the apple tree that is full of pests, the scarecrow that appears as the blessing of the gods seems so helpless and boring, until the storm is blown out of the original shape-a cross as a skeleton. ——This symbolic cross, the apple tree around and the stormy rain as the background, the extreme mockery of religion (Christianity) makes everyone think this film is another modern "Decameron".
The film went to the end like this. When the priest miraculously wrapped his head and sat in the sunshine in front of the hospital, everything was light and windy, and the clouds were light and light-God just proved his existence once again.
At the end of the film, with the two newly received "mobs" (another two abnormal people), the moving song sounded again in the car of the priest and Adam. When you start to hum lightly, you will feel that the priest and Adam are normal people-this is the power of God. Of course, the God at this time is the screenwriter and director Anders Thomas Jensen (Anders Thomas Jensen). ), because he makes a pair of abnormal people who must be regarded as weird in the society become kind and not so weird in the eyes of the viewer. Of course, all of this, the song that has always existed like sunshine from beginning to end, also contributed the most. It is the cover of "How deep is your love" by BEEGEES by TAKE THAT.
PS: Danish-style cold humor is very interesting. It makes people understand that European religious themes are not all Bergman's cold-hearted, even Danes who are also in the cold Scandinavian cultural circle can shoot. Such a fun movie. Look at the expression of the Nazi Adam when the Palestinian hero takes out a pistol and shoots birds, haha.
