Combining this name, I began to guess that the last male lead turned black and used a shotgun to hunt all the people in the town who didn't trust him and hurt him! Well, I thought the ending was so dark, maybe I watched too many revenge movies...
Then I felt like "The Little Prince" and thought it was a French movie. Although the subject matter is diametrically opposed, the spiritual core is so similar: about forgetting, when we grow up, we often forget how imaginative we used to be, how different the world of children is from adults, and how often we talk nonsense when we were young and lying. And, adults are actually the stupidest and most self-righteous creatures in the world.
Lucas is the captain who still retains his childlike innocence. He is gentle and considerate, and is the only adult who understands the psychology of the little girl Claire. He knew that Claire got lost because she didn't look at the direction, she only paid attention to the lines on the ground, and was obsessed with not stepping on the lines, so Claire liked him. And his underage son is like a little prince, only his pure heart believes in his father. Other adults are trying Lucas by their own standards, as well as the so-called justice. How pathetic human beings are, when they grow up, the world is full of violence, men with fists, women with malicious words.
There are a lot of movies that show malice, but usually they show that the law doesn't really punish the bad guys. But in The Hunt I saw for the first time the superiority of law over morality. We usually think that law is the bottom line of human beings, and morality is a relatively higher requirement. This is only to say that morality can shape good people better than law, but in fact, law can protect good people better than morality. The evidence was insufficient, so Lucas was able to stay out of jail. The movie doesn't get too religious, but the Christmas Eve church scene is pretty good. The eyes were clear, nothing, maybe like Christ on the cross. And Fanny's death, which I watched in tears.
I didn't like the last ten minutes: a year later, Lucas' life had regained its apparent serenity, his son's mitzvah had arrived, and he had gone from boy to man. Lucas still dared to hug Claire, because he still treated the world tenderly, but got a dark gun from nowhere. The last ten minutes, forcing you to think about what kind of person you would be, forcing you to admit that you are one of those stupid adults after all, that you are not Peter Pan or the little prince who never grew up. The reason you can blame them on the screen is just because you have a God perspective, but one day, you will be in the story, and maybe you will be the one who shoots.
Denmark, a country famous for fairy tales in my impression, has given the world a five-star, more adult, dark fairy tale.
