I really didn't expect me a year ago to give this movie such a low score hahahaha. Yesterday was February 24, 2021. I suddenly remembered this movie for some reason and decided to watch it again. I think there should be 4 stars (unfortunately it can't be changed...)
First of all, the allegorical genre of this movie is really strong. It's really hard for me to accept this genre for the first time?
Lazaro is a man with a "good man smell". Of course, maybe he can't be called a "human". He who has an immortal body and is not afraid of the cold and does not need to eat should be called a "god". He does not refuse any request, pays attention to affection and does not ask for anything in return. He was in tears after finding out he had been cheated on by his friends. Then the next day, I still went to the bank to help my friend get the money back. This scene is really the climax of the whole movie. Lazaro, who has always been the incarnation of "goodness", has become the target of everyone's criticism at this moment. At that moment, does he represent "goodness" or "evil"?
Maybe good and evil are one and the same, just like the wolf that has been following him.
When he and the heroine A (sorry forgot her name) used silverware to cheat money together, was he "evil" or "good"? For a rich person, the "evil" of a few tens of euros may not be too much, but for the poor A and their family, the "goodness" of these tens of euros is very important. Of course, in the end, A still decided not to do such a thing out of guilt.
Lazaro is "good", and his "goodness" brings food that the family can eat, and his "goodness" makes music follow them. But when this "good" falls into misfortune, he also seems to become "evil".
When Lazaro was finally beaten and kicked by everyone, why did we sympathize with him and even want to cry for him?
Is it for the kindness that has been misunderstood and used?
Is it for the shattering of an idealism?
