nice. Cool.
Let’s go ahead and talk about the subtext of the film with friends who have watched it. Analyzing from the line of tomas, he is a missionary, and the ordeal of missions made him question and deny God; save the old girl, break the cult, save the people, use his behavior as a good religion, preach, and finally turn into an "Island God" . According to this train of thought, disassemble the analysis.
Regarding the time setting of the story and the mission in Beijing, if the screenwriter is nonsense, how to analyze it is useless. Looking at the details, the screenwriter and director still deliberately set the time of the story. I analyzed that it was about the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. There are a few details to pay attention to. One is the background factory for letter reading, a product of the industrial revolution. The reason for the kidnapping of his sister was also mentioned here. His father had a lot of money from the factory owner, and his background briefing was capable. One is the bullet of the gun, which is already fully equipped. Another one, at the end of the film, the fleeing ship is smoked, and can sail across the border between Britain and Finland. Beijing is tortured, and there is a high probability that Yihe Tuan will be taught. After the Opium War, more and more foreign priests came to China. Conflicts involving priests were not uncommon. The peak of the intensity and frequency of the conflicts was during the Boxer Rebellion period. Beijing and the surrounding provinces were the most troublesome. So if these details are deliberate, the time can be roughly determined to be the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Questioning, denying God, so many explicit hints, okay! Tomas preached in Beijing, but God did not save him. He was in the cave and made it clear that he no longer believed it. The missionary whose faith has been shattered feels that God is not reliable about saving his sister, so he has to do it himself. It is worth noting that everyone also has doubts about God. Otherwise, how could faithful believers convert to his religion? In the opening letter, my sister does not count on God, but she still hopes that her family can hear her prayers. For churches on the island, the cult leader said that God won’t give you what you want, but I will give it. The viewer can surely recall other details. Doubts and denials of God, whether they are hardcore cultists (this nonsense) or philanthropists, cannot be said to be uncommon. Cults have a mass foundation, are blessed by miracles, and can fool so many people, which is reasonable. If you think about it, there are several reasons why cults can succeed. The old beliefs of the people collapsed and new beliefs were needed. Can meet spiritual and material needs. Or, the material needs are brainwashed less and less, and the material needs of the believers in the movie are reduced to the lowest point that can maintain the sound storage. It is to meet the needs of survival, so that the three old servants also lost their lives here.
The three veterans strictly guarded the secrets of divine power, spread private ideas as doctrines, and used the public for personal gain, just like the fallen priests of the Middle Ages. The reform of Christianity has changed from one word of the pope and the priest to the Bible as the standard, avoiding the centralized control of the power of the church. Although there were many Christian denominations after the liberalization of religious interpretation power, some extreme religions also appeared. Compared with the evil results of the great religious power, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The process of Tomas saving his sister, breaking the cult, and liberating believers can be understood as preaching and teaching by example. Tell you that God can save people, you don't believe it. Okay, I save you, old girl, and everyone. Tell you that God destroys evil, you doubt it. Well, the three old men I twisted are almost wiped out. God's will is fulfilled by Tomas, which coincides with the title Apostle. The final transformation into an island god is also in line with the idea that God's apostles have powers and miracles.
Regarding the goddess of the island, it is difficult to define evil or good, or a neutral existence. Evil, encountering the strange eyes of the three old times, cannibalism can nourish the evil setting of the earth. Good, she did nothing bad on the island, she herself was a victim. Leading up to another topic, the divine power buff is not good or bad, it is the person who uses him. Another one, no matter how great the power is, it can be used by others.
The little couple is really dead. Zhang Fei’s daughter is getting better with Guan Yu’s son, and it’s not a bad thing to think about it. Although the doctrine of unmarried pregnancies is not acceptable, in the movie, the big elders also have to give their children a horse, which is a reasonable double standard. Showdown directly without death. It was said that Zhang Fei coveted his daughter's body, and he could barely make sense, or else he would peek at his father's toilet. However, Zhang Fei is very strict with his daughter. If her daughter is pregnant, he should be aware of it when he is a father. Seeing her daughter holding a mirror, she went to the toilet to peek to confirm, isn't it more reasonable?
Good works give readers many directions and depths of interpretation. a thousand reader with a thousand hamurate. So, what about your Hamlet?
