Susanne Bier, the female director, makes a story bloom two flowers and one branch, which makes people face the test in the cold and lonely Danish town and the violent sultan. The film finally gave a warm ending. The protagonists in the film are actually two teenagers. Their more emotional and less sensible instincts magnify the crime and punishment, love and hate of the adult world. The film is delivered through young people. Anyone can repay evil with evil, but only the real strong can return harm with kindness. Only goodness can end the endless cycle of evil, and forgiveness brings freedom to the soul.
From conception to lens, the film is undoubtedly a typical Nordic work, high and lonely, immersing people in cool and tranquility. Because of the "low temperature psychology" of being close to the polar regions, the deep narrative of this quiet sea uses the subtle struggles of life and life to think about people's hearts and minds, and the ethics of the world. The film dissects the growth story of two teenagers who are as small as a bird, revealing a flash of darkness in the depths of human nature, a flash of crystal clear fragments. The film is like a slender ice needle, slowly piercing the heart, making the audience cold and painful. When it reached the warmest and softest corner, it stopped there and waited to be melted by time.
