The four meanings of the title "Capernaum"

Arely 2022-01-05 08:02:02

A more cruel, more realistic, self-voicing "Family Bearer"

Feelings from beginning to end: Dirty, chaos, and poorness are real, not the kind of setting built for filming a movie or setting.

But the pattern is huge, not only rendering misery


The child’s questioning is loud and loud, don’t give birth if you are not qualified

In fact, he has taken care of yonas, and he is a "parent" in a sense

In addition to his own impression of his parents, his final complaint is also inseparable from his own experience, which is justified and well-founded.

In addition to questions about childbirth, this film also discusses multi-dimensional social issues in a comprehensive manner for the child's reasonable and legal support for accusing his parents:

As a marginal figure, life is difficult without identity;

But the parents only abuse their hands, and the least severe is "Go away, bastard."

To squeeze the child and let him go to school is "you can take care of food and shelter and get the money back", and "you can work overtime after school"

The daughter is nothing but a bargaining chip or voucher for the transaction;

The defense of the parents provides another perspective:

It is an excellent interpretation of "the poor must have something to hate"

When facing the world, there are countless malice, not "I sang it back"

Use love to educate and influence children, give them even a little hope

You can’t just look at it from a single point of view, but look at it from the position of the bystander.

The tragedy of Zain and his family is definitely not just a matter of the personal characteristics of the parents

Although they are indifferent and violent, their parents are not purely evil by nature

The concept of fertility is only superficial

Its root lies in this deformed society

The concept of childbirth abducts the status of women [children-in-law] The refugees and the black households solidify


Highlight:

Street children’s toys are guns made up of wooden slats. Maybe they have nothing else in their childhood, maybe they have all experienced war;

The medicine is ground into powder and poured into the water, and the clothes are soaked and taken to the prison for sale

Zain made up various reasons to buy tranquilizers

The van full of schoolbags passes by again and again

No Spider-Man, only Roach-Man [This person seems to have been cut out]

Take the mirror to reflect the TV next door to watch the animation

Rahil's boyfriend stole his ID and was also cut off

Lebanese pretend to be Syrian refugees to receive relief food

The condolences through the bars are extremely ironic

Worships in the prison were also cut

The reaction of inmates when calling to report


The four meanings of "Capernaum"

(I don’t understand Christianity, the following is my far-fetched analysis, don’t spray)

The original name is better, and there are religious metaphors in:

Jesus was unpopular in Nazareth, so he went to Capernaum to preach

There are also many crosses in the film

In a sense zain is an angel with instinctive courage and love

(Or "Captain America" ​​on his pants)

My sister was innocent and even a little ridiculously trying to cover up when she had menstruation, only hoped that she would not fall into Assad's hands;

I even wanted to take the money and clothes to sneak away with my sister

Eventually he left "home", the shed with tires on the settlement

Amusement park: colorful, innocent childhood

Uncovering the "clothes" of portraits: unrestrained moral good and evil views

He came to a small seaside town

Have a somewhat stable "family"

I also looked like a "parent"

But this is not the city of God

The same as struggling for survival

Neither Rahil nor Yonas have identities

Finally rahil lost his job

And was arrested because of a black account

In order not to confess to having a son

Also squeezed out my own milk [cut off]

Zain and yonas have no money, no food, no water

Was finally kicked out from where he lived

............

This theoretically, "City of God"

Didn't make his life better

This is the first meaning of "Capernaum":

where is it? Perhaps, it is not necessarily in which geographic location, nor is it necessarily a historical site

The little girl is the fittest in the chaotic state of life

The Sweden mentioned in the movie is a symbol representing the promised land:

Whether it’s Sweden or Norway, where the leading role has settled in reality

All are the ideal "paradise"

It's harder to get there

The protagonist even participated in human trafficking

This is the second meaning of "Capernaum":

Fanaticism, the gospel of hope, the life-saving straw caught in despair

The cruel reality eventually made Zain collapse

He has no identification

Even my sister is dead

He is desperate

Finally picked up the knife

The protagonist is imprisoned

This is the third meaning of "Capernaum":

Maybe there is no "Capernaum" at all

Reality crushes you and makes you completely lose hope

But with the help of news media, hotlines, courts, and lawyers

Zain sued his parents

In the end there will be a good home

Probably, this is the fourth meaning of "Capernaum":

The world may be chaotic, but there is still goodness

It’s worth preaching the doctrine of "Lord"

The world is worth saving

Perhaps this is what Jesus meant?

Capernaum quotes

  • Zain: I want to make a complaint against my parents. I'd want adults to listen to me. I want adults who can't raise kids not to have any. What will I remember? Violence, insults or beatings, hit with chains, pipes, or a belt? The kindest words I heard were get out son of a whore! Bug off, piece of garbage! Life is a pile of shit. Not worth more than my shoe. I live in hell here. I burn like rotting meat. Life is a bitch.I thought we'd become good people, loved by all. But God doesn't want that for us. He'd rather we be washrags for others. The child you're carrying will be like I am.

  • Zain: Life is the biggest injustice.
