It was originally the most unanticipated movie in the film festival, and its reputation was not very high, but it turned out to have the greatest impact on me.
It is the first time to watch a European black and white movie in a cinema. The mood of the whole movie: Obscure-Depression-Anxiety-Shock. Black and white, religion, funeral. Seeing that I am at a loss to doubt life. What exactly is faith? Which do you believe in science or God? In the first part, I thought it was the rationality of the religious society that allowed them to talk so peacefully. Later, when the accident happened, they were still talking about God endlessly, and only felt a kind of irony and hypocrisy. "He finally cried out", yes, even children can smile and say "I hope that mother will die, so that God can resurrect her." That word is "resurrection". People's belief is dead and reborn. Die and die, live in self-deception.
Another character that must be mentioned is Johannes. When he appeared on the stage, everyone thought he was a lunatic, a lunatic, but in fact, he was the one who saw the most clearly and said the most sincere words. He was sincere. Believe in God, and sincerely criticize the church, he is the most normal person inside. The funny part is that Bergen went to the tailor, trying to persuade him to agree to the marriage of Angus and Annie, but he was almost counter-attacked and shaken by the preacher. Does he believe what he said.
The music of the whole movie, the most prominent place is the bell, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, dull and regular bells, just like the running state of the Bergen farm, like the mental state of people following the rules, until Yingge died, Yingge's husband stopped the pointer with his hand, and everything finally fell apart. Knowing that Johannes was back, Angus moved the pointer again with his hand. Inge was resurrected and everything was back to the original point. People can continue to believe in God.
