Danish movies always give people a sense of sadness. This tragicomedy is like a cold joke. It is sad but unable to cry, and joy but unable to laugh. This is the real black humor. This movie tells us that you can complain about reality, but you cannot avoid it. You can question faith, but you cannot give up faith. The most important thing is that we must be loving.
Strictly speaking, Anders Thomas Jensen is more of a professional screenwriter, but his director’s work is unique in the overall Nordic style, with the cold and sharpness of the Nordic, but also has its own humor and irony, which is different from the previous Olympiad Best The playfulness of the short film, this film uses a larger metaphor to cover the topic of good and evil human nature. Although at first glance, the plot and conflict are not full of tension, the background story is also slightly less convincing, and the influence cannot be considered too smooth. , But can always be driven by the atmosphere of light joy, and a bunch of familiar Danish actors also give the play extra points, but although it is a good religious fable, the metaphysical is tender after all

    Uncle Maizi is really suitable for such a wronged and determined character. There are too many metaphors in the Bible.

Adam's Apples quotes

  • Ivan: Evil has many faces and it can be difficult to tell them apart and choose sides. Especially these days where so many things are said in this and that town. Everything has so many nuances. Also we humans. If the game of chess had undergone the same development as humans the queen would be in front, the rooks would be crooked, and the pawn would be the main piece. We no longer know who we are and this rootlessness...

  • Ivan: Poul Baekel Hermann, known to friend and foe as Poul Nordkap, lived a long and full life. In his life Poul learned that to know God you must dance with the Devil. If any Poul Nordkap surely did that. Poul learned that it's futile to fight good because despite all the cruelty, screaming and tears he had caused in his youth he realised in the end that this was just a mere moment. The ocean heaved but it was a wasted effort. The world continued and good prevailed as always. That's why Poul can return to God with peace of mind. Adam and I were by his side when he passed quietly away. His last words were: 'I'm not afraid. I'm ready.'
