After watching this movie, I was so shocked that I didn't fall asleep all night, and I kept checking the interpretation of this movie, including the religious culture it involved.
There is no doubt that this film is a poetic tragedy, symbolizing the pure and unyielding seagull, but the dark fate bound, the siblings who are repeatedly thrown out of the car, the actors who can't find the theater, the grieving bride, the dying horse, The first time after the truck was covered, the hand of God that lacked an index finger and could not guide the world, the last roar of soldiers and gunshots in the darkness;
But there is no lack of hope for a better life, and this movie is not purely about the death of God. For example, when a sister and brother were caught in the police station, it was snowing heavily, and everyone stopped and looked up at the snow, as if watching them. Faith, the sister and brother escaped from the police station at this time, the wandering entertainer in the hotel, the wandering entertainer is free and romantic, but cannot control his destiny, but the applause of the little boy when he is kicked out is the beauty of human nature Hope, in an epic long shot + 360-degree shot, the gay man comforts the little girl, and the little girl originally wanted to exchange her body for money, but the soldier finally just said a few words and then He left the money, and he didn't want to exchange his pleasure for the girl's pain. This is also the beautiful human nature he left behind. In the last scene, the two of them woke up in the fog, and the younger brother finished the story. The fog dissipated, and a big tree stood there, just as the actor at the front of the film found a film and said, "Let the fog go, there is a tree there, have you seen it?" Finally, they ran to the tree and hugged Embrace it, like hugging their father, and this is their Garden of Eden at this point.
Looking for the father in the movie should be understood as looking for God, seeking faith and direction. And there is a very wonderful metaphor in the middle of the film, a chicken suddenly enters the restaurant, and everyone who eats at the restaurant stops and stares at the chicken, as if they have bad intentions for it, until the chicken is caught, the restaurant It has returned to its original state. Like this chicken, the two brothers and sisters have entered a world that does not belong to them. The two brothers and sisters entered the world of adults too early, and have experienced too much in this "travel". Already covered with scars.
The semi-open ending is that the film is no longer a tragedy without light and shadow. The last scene of the film is An Zhe's respect for people's beliefs. It symbolizes the pursuit of a beautiful human nature. The brothers and sisters found their beliefs. The highlight of the film.
