The background blurs the surging original sin, leaving only the clear death and faith.

It was like a snorkel, taking a long breath, swimming all the way, and suddenly it came to an end. I confess that I have been looking forward to the climax of justice. The light glue follow-up runs throughout the film, the numb face, the tight back, and the blurred background beyond the outlines, I can think of more than anything else. It suddenly felt that the previous movie celebrating the survivors had shifted the focus of this disaster, that the survival of a few thousand people was too small compared to the deaths of millions. Sol understands everything, and it is death, only faith.
