Aside from religion and the background of the times, the film is still very heavy. The theme of human nature is always difficult to understand, especially when it is entangled with interests. The indifference of the male protagonist to human life in the film shocked me. I didn't even kill him. When he met his fake brother and the hypocritical missionary, he saw a little hesitation. But they don't even have any entanglement of interests, and they don't necessarily have any deep hatred.
This contradiction in the film is its difficult part, and it is also its attraction. The gushing of oil is a sign of the coming of blood. I don’t like the subject matter and narrative technique very much, but I can’t deny that it is a very wonderful film. It is about human nature, about interests and religious beliefs, and it is always profound and not so exciting?
