Anthony's death

With its powerful deconstruction ability, this film dismantles various creeds and ways of life endowed with justice by modern civilization, which not only contain the reality of religion and human nature, but also imply the entanglement between male and female rights, material and soul. It calmly withdraws the goodness constructed by moral self-consciousness in a simple society, forcing us to re-examine many seemingly fixed issues. And the last part of this is the death of Antonie.

Here, death becomes a sad but simple part of the natural cycle, a plank road for the exchange of information and materials between the predecessors and the younger generations, between man and nature. "She understands that this is the last day of her life." In addition to a touch of sadness, it is indeed a particularly peaceful joy - surrounded by relatives, sober, saying goodbye in a natural aging way, feeling as if extremely sleepy I can't open my eyes anymore. Yes. Death is supposed to be a peaceful and serene farewell, an honest duty of life.
"She wants to call her beloved by her side. Bass will make her a coffin, and Olger will arrange her carefully as usual, without the slightest shame." At the

end of the film, Anthony saw the new sun rising, her love Sitting on the edge of the bed, still jokingly cast a wink at her; her daughter, under the pretense of calmness, hides the great sadness that will overturn the studio for a while; granddaughter Slashi, thinking calmly at the moment The exact volume of her grandmother's breathing; and the still young great-granddaughter Sarah, Antony does not know whether her death can answer her curiosity about life...
Death, in Antony's interpretation, becomes a ritual, A ritual of separation of the soul from her majestic body

ends here.
Everything goes back to the beginning of the story.

"Even though the sun was up, Anthony knew that her time was running out. She knew better that this was the last day of her life. She didn't feel sick, she was going to call her loved ones around and tell them She is about to die." She even dressed herself in the mirror and said calmly to herself in the mirror; "Ja, tijd om te sterven" ("It is time to die")...

    Dutch idyllic, beautiful and human. In the fresh country picture scroll, in the nature of the beloved and loved ones, passing time, sitting around a table, five generations in the same room, laughing and talking, floating leisurely, discussing life and death, life, existence, optimistic, calm, calm and profound, lyrical and poetic. Women are independent and intelligent. Promote pregnancy by seeding and standing upside down. Both the opposite sex and the same sex are all in the spring, and the house is full of joy and love. No fate during his lifetime, Huang Quan stayed with him. The narrative is blank, the photography is beautiful, and the soundtrack is long. Surrealism embellishment. Movies make dreams, immerse themselves in the virtual world, and have this life, perfection is enough. This is my first time watching a Dutch movie and listening to Dutch for the first time. Lianjia Blu-ray, repair and brand new.

    The story of a family of several generations can be told in a two-hour movie, watching the beautiful, kind-hearted, strong, optimistic and brave Antonia finally turned into a silver-haired old man over the years, clearly knowing She is about to die, and the bedside is surrounded by a family of people who love her. It is indeed a happy life. There are extremely cruel and sad parts in the story. Even at the end of the story, the villagers die one after another. They will not be diluted by those warm and happy parts. In fact, people can only learn to accept in the face of fate, or not accept. I like this kind of film without any star in the whole film, presenting a complete and real world, gazing at the lives of others, even in different time and space, but also very touching.

Antonia's Line quotes

  • Verteller: The proverb is wrong. Time does not heal all wounds. It merely softens the pain and blurs the memories.

  • Verteller: [First lines] Even before the sun had risen, Antonia knew that her days were numbered. She knew more than that, she knew that this would be her last day. Not that she felt unwell. But, unlike others, Antonia knew when enough was enough.
