Excellent movie. The modern version of "Oedipus" has a sense of powerlessness against fate; because of accepting the cruelty of fate, and having the courage to bear the pain of fate; resisting the injustice of fate, and finally becoming a free person. The film ends by emphasizing that "the best things in the world are together". I do not think so. The emphasis on the theme at the end appears contrived and contrived. On the contrary, the final highlight of the movie is still "love", and "love" is the best mockery of the "poison" in fate.
A repeated symphony in the film, so similar to Schubert's "Unfinished", foreshadows the infinite sublime manifested in those who rebel against the power of fate. And the sublime is the theme of The Unfinished, the heart of Greek tragedy. Likewise, the sublime requires individual effort to uncover the cruel veil of fate, like opening a closed letter that may contain a "vicious" letter. Because only in this way can we break the shackles of fate, rebuild our own destiny and freedom, and return to people's instinct of self-exploration and self-shaping, even in the face of the inevitable death. As in the Greek tragic spirit, death is never the end, but rather the beginning. All the dead Greek heroes, when their chests are pierced with spears, their hearts will beat most valiantly, their blood donations will be spurted most violently, and return to the embrace of the earth, with the most noble and freest The gesture of death, sharing the fate of the hero's freedom with the earth at the most vital moment of death.
