This film can be said to be "MOTHER! "The companion piece. Heavenly Father (God, the male protagonist, the ruthless physician who controls human heart surgery), Earth Mother (Gaia - pay attention to her lying posture under anesthesia in front of the male protagonist, the male host's wife, the ophthalmologist who observes human rationality). Interestingly, it is Satan (Martin) who sees through and breaks the world's moral retribution law with great calmness. Of course, you can also think of Martin as the son of Satan (his father, Satan, let God do it on the operating table). And the moral reward/revenge of the natural world is the degeneration of the species (the two children of the male Lord God have their legs paralyzed and become reptiles). In the end, God had to rely on the probabilistic causality of events in the phenomenal world (the purpose is to get rid of the pain of the will brought about by moral choices), put a black cross on his head, turn a few halo circles, and abolish the Son with one shot (the Virgin cannot. Abolished, the Virgin abolished the world and re-entered the cycle of reincarnation, refer to MOTHER!. Therefore, to destroy the Son is still equal to God's free choice). The holy son with love and awareness potential died, and the "Saint" (slightly bitch) who was already in love with Satan became a leftover girl, but he didn't forget to meet Satan in secret - after all, this world restaurant is finally the four of them. The big game field of the combination (the Son of God can come back even though he dies-corresponding to the words of the Virgin to God in the movie: You have the power and I can live). Also, the background music works well.

    Lanthimos is extremely complete in the handling of the play. Consistent camera movement, strong religious atmosphere soundtrack, fatefully integrated into the theme of the story. Every character is so indifferent, yet so vulnerable when faced with misfortune. When the tragedy cannot be reversed, please embrace misfortune!
