It will be a little confusing at first. Because think about why he is so attached to his children. Even abandoned his mission. If he is such a person, why would his companions trust him.
Because he has faith and owns himself. Everyone sees himself or wants to have himself in him.
When there is only chaos left in life and material and even the environment. A person is left with only oneself. heart and soul.
Then his children are not necessarily biological. Because it may just be the shape of his heart. The outside is not so important anymore. Because what he needs is redemption in his heart.
There's a sense of nausea and fear that persists throughout the film.
Because there is no ethics. no environment. He has always dominated the scene in the film. There was never a scene that was his point of view. Because we are spying. We've been watching the whole scene transform. But indifferent. where is our god.

The funny thing is that it is hell's turn to be reborn.
He was always looking for his religion, his god, himself.
In the end he was redeemed. So he is happy. Beyond death and life. And the blond child is a reborn god.

The last scene can be seen as: all the confusion and thoughts carried over from him to the child and then to us. Because it all came from the self. tied to the self. Or are we telling me what I'm doing, should we remain indifferent? We murder our enemies as well as ourselves.
