No faith, only refugees

This is a very complicated film. The film deals with various issues such as belief, religion, governance, etc. About this film, I don’t want to talk about religion, but only about the immigration issue reflected in the film.

In the opening night, a young couple announced that they were leaving here for city life.

At this time, a chicken ran into the house and was asked to lock it back again, implying that their efforts would fail this time.

The idea of ​​the young couple wishing to leave the village was opposed. From left to right, the three represent religion, the powerful, and the secular.

At 24 minutes, your son appeared, a gorgeous villa in another world, it felt like a completely different world from the previous countryside

the thinking of the ruling class.

Here the ruling class uses religion to maintain its rule

Gao Fushuai wanted to write a blood letter to his mother to force her to release these people, but Gao Fushuai did not dare to cut his finger with a knife. So he let Lazaro cut his own, but Lazzaro had no emotion at all, and cut himself coldly.

Gao Fushuai complained that Lazaro did not treat him as a brother. Although Lazaro did not say a word, it could be seen that this caused a lot of psychological damage to him.

The composition, and the movements of the actors, are like some kind of religious ceremony

After Lazaro got wet in the rain, everyone cared about him to see if he had a fever. As a result, when Lazaro finally needed a place to rest, people became extremely selfish one by one. Human selfishness and indifference appear repeatedly in the film.

58 points, Lazaro rolled off the cliff

The police came to rescue the villagers who were trapped in the farming society by the Duchess. The villagers believed that the water was too deep to get through (a mockery of the ruling system makes the ruled ignorant and easy to manage)

The picture here corresponds to Lazaro and the wolf, and Lazaro is the saint

Then the director told a story, an old wolf, unable to catch the prey, was driven out by the wolves, the wolf approached the human residence, stole the chicken and the sheep, the human wanted to kill the wolf, but could not do it, did a lot Trap, people hate this wolf very much, they think he is fierce and strong, they don't know it is a weak old wolf. It came to the ears of a sage who had the ability to talk to animals, people entrusted the sage to negotiate peace with the wolf, the sage traveled all the way, winter came, the sage was exhausted and still couldn't find the wolf, the wolf was hungry too, the wolf stalked the sage It's been a long time, and finally one day, the saint fell in the snow, and the wolf also appeared. When the wolf was about to eat him, it smelled something it had never smelled before. A good man has the taste of

When Lazaro woke up, everything had changed.

Simple Lazaro encountered two robbers who claimed to be a moving company. Lazaro simply believed them and helped them move the property in the manor together.

At 1 hour and 12 minutes, Lazaro came to town and met many immigrants. He chose to go with these immigrants.

Refugees, blacks and muslims

Lazaro met the people in the village before, everyone was shocked, Lazaro was immortal

After 1 hour and 22 minutes, Lazaro finally knew the truth of the matter. Gao Fushuai's family had been practicing slavery all the time. 54 laborers were forced to work without any knowledge of the existence of pay. And let them live in primitive huts without modern civilization.

When watching this film, I was full of emotion throughout the whole process. Where did the director find the fairy actors, this look is too clear. After watching the interview of the actor, sure enough, this look is not from the show, but from the show.

The police think they have liberated them, but they have not given them a good life guarantee, and their life is not as good as before (don't you think it is very similar to the European problem, blindly following the United States, thinking that Syria has been liberated, and the result is worse than before, And the flood of refugees has caused problems in all aspects of society)

Lazaro rescued a dog on the side of the road, and the dog led him to the rich and handsome man.

Lazaro takes Gao Fushuai to his friends

Gao Fushuai and Lazaro were learning wolf howls again, and a little girl came to respond to their wolf howls. Everyone was laughing, and Lazaro laughed too, which was far-fetched. After all, once the past is recalled, it is always It is sad.

Before leaving, Gao Fushuai graciously invited everyone to his house for dinner. Everyone packed up and bought cakes at a cost, but they were closed.

They came to the church to listen to music, and were turned out as refugees. After that, the church organ could no longer sound, and the music left the church and followed Lazaro.

The so-called religion, he is for people to enjoy after all. Or is it to save the suffering? Before faith, all people should be equal.

Lazaro, who left his friend, came to the bank alone. He wanted to help Gao Fushuai's family get their property back, but was mistaken for a bank robbery. Only at this moment did he see the long-lost wolf.

It's really sad here

When people found that Lazaro had no weapons, they attacked him in groups, and Lazaro was beaten out of breath.

Obviously, this is a religious story, because as society changes. The soil of people's beliefs has been disintegrated, the beliefs of the past no longer exist, and modern people will not easily establish beliefs

At the same time, the director also said that he believes that there are two kinds of religions, one is the belief that really exists in the hearts of the people, and the other is the religion that serves the ruling class.

But I think this film does not just talk about religious beliefs, it also talks about another point, which is the most acute refugee problem in European society. The villagers in the village were brought into the town, and their lives were so poor, even worse than before. Is this very similar to the refugees who fled to the European continent? Of course, you can say that this is just the general background of a society. I cannot refute it. The director did show the refugee problem in Europe from the side through a story about religious beliefs. Refugees must also be what the director wanted to show, otherwise he wouldn't put this part into the film.

This script is very well written, but I have one small problem. When I was watching this movie, I felt that the second half of the movie was a bit flickering. It is not compact enough, and the relevance is not strong enough. It is more of an opinion that the director wants to express himself. And this feature is among the talented girls that the director made the TV series My Genius. The performance is very obvious. The first half of the episodes she filmed were always good, and the second half began to become very scattered. Of course, I haven't seen the two films that the director made before, maybe there is this problem or not.

    Four-and-a-half stars, the main competition has seen the most surprise now, and I hope that one of the three awards can be selected. Whether it is the form, image, theme, performance, actor selection, all aspects are very outstanding. The retro feeling shot by 16mm, the natural scenery of the countryside, the male protagonist with his own aura, the contrast between the city and the countryside, and the inadvertent surreal part. All make this film very rare, a naturalistic style, quiet and comfortable.

    Lazaro looks like Harry Potter and Frodo, it's a bit of a drama... hee hee

Happy as Lazzaro quotes

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: Human beings are like animals. Set them free and they realize they are slaves locked in their own misery. Right now, they suffer, but they don't know. I exploit them, they exploit that poor man. It's a chain reaction that can't be stopped.

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: He who knows himself well is humbled in his own presence. And the praise of other men provokes no pleasure. If I were to know everything in the universe and scorned the charity who would bring me the grace of God? Who would judge my actions? One should go beyond the thirst for knowledge that is the root of distraction and disappointment.
