In Jacques van Dommel's "Super New Testament" (2015), "God" becomes a full-fledged demon, who controls the life and death of human beings, orchestrates and presides over the limit of human death.
He never went out, and after having dinner with his family, he retreated into the dark room, facing an old computer, and controlled it all. He enjoys the mutual killing of human beings and the frequent occurrence of various human disasters. Of course, he does not want human beings to enjoy peace and tranquility. This almighty "god" has a former "goddess" who is now a scruffy wife, and a quirky 10-year-old daughter Yiya. This strange "god" only allows them to watch sports TV, and all others are not allowed to watch. Therefore, except for the embroidery of flying needles, his wife likes baseball the most, and is eager to gather an 18-man baseball team to play against each other.
The younger daughter was deeply hopeless, and "God" would beat or scold her at every turn. She once said angrily, "You are so disgusting, your happiness comes from hurting people you have never known before." In return, "God" immediately glared and said, "How dare you enter the forbidden area without permission", and then slammed down with a long whip. . "Where there is oppression, there is resistance." When the resistance came, little Yiya decided to endure it no longer. She colluded with Jesus, who had been motionless on the stage, and asked for her help. Jesus, the JC in the mouth of Xiao Yiya, is also very resentful of this "God", full of promises, and taught the method, but only if she finds 6 disciples, as the protagonists of the teachings, and makes people write a new "Supernatural". The New Testament, which records the words and deeds of the disciples, can greatly break the evil gate of "God" and save all mankind.
Approved by JC, the boss of Jesus, the time was short, and while "God" was asleep, little Yiya stole the key, opened the door and entered the dark room. She turned on the computer, sent out the "death program", and received the date of her own death through the mobile phone one by one. They were desperate, the whole real society was desperate, and people no longer worked. The smell of death permeates all around people. When the "God" found out, he was furious, he took out his long whip and roared. But Xiao Yiya had already escaped through the washing machine aisle early, so "God" had to crawl into the long and narrow aisle of the washing machine with his butt on his back.
Little Eiah was looking for disciples non-stop. Rather than telling the story of Yijah's resistance, it is more about the different mental journeys of the six disciples. The old man Victor, who had been in prison for 6 months, was not used to staying in the house and could only sleep outside the house, so he became a tramp, and Yiya asked him to record the "Super New Testament". "Audrey's Gospel", is the first disciple Audrey. She is very beautiful, alone, and has many admirers, but she was dazed by the subway when she was a child, and unfortunately suffered an accident and lost her hands. Now she is equipped with arms made of silicone material, which ordinary people cannot see. She is as tender as water, but as hard as ice, lonely and sad. Audrey said to Yiya, "Life is like skating, and wrestling is inevitable". Yiya used a bottle to face the tears that slipped out of the corner of her eyes and said, "I collect people's tears, and everyone has their own theme movement". But Audrey had 11 years, 6 months and 27 days in the "God" death deadline.
The second disciple, "The Gospel of Jean-Claude", the greatest adventurer the world has ever seen, was 58 years old, single, with 12 years, 9 months and 5 days to his death. He has been sitting on a park bench since he was given the date of his death. Xiao Yiya held a live bird in his hand, and specified his personal movement "The Chirp of Birds". Since then, he has traveled around the world, and his head is always accompanied by a flock of black birds, like a big net that flies, closes and spreads, listening to the beautiful rhythm of his command, it is truly spectacular.
The third disciple, "The Gospel of the Erotica," Marco, after learning that he had only 83 days to live, combined with his own financial situation, sold 200 euros a day to enjoy the beauty. This comes from when he was 9 years old, he went on vacation with his parents on the beach, and saw a stunning German beauty, and he was fascinated by it. Since then, he has been fascinated by beauty. As time passed, he unexpectedly met his childhood goddess, and he said contentedly, "Although time flies and leads me to death, I don't care, life has finally turned into what I dreamed of, life is beautiful and charming. Cranberries, the distance is a journey of mystery, and the rest of my life is the ultimate exploration of beauty." His theme movement is Purcell's "O Lonely".
The fourth disciple, "The Gospel of the Killer", Francois has 25 years, 3 months and 8 days to live. He is obsessed with death and funerals, because he is a murderous gunman. Fortunately, he shot Belle Ao Delly was fruitless and just hit her silica gel. He was greatly surprised. He felt that he had met his "beauty god". He wrote a letter to her and offered flowers to express his love. Fortunately, she accepted his courtship, and the two of them will always be friends with Qin and Jin, which can be said to be very happy. His theme movement is Schubert's "Death and the Maiden".
The fifth disciple is Martina starred by Catherine Danoff in "The Gospel of Martina". Her husband has 39 years to live, but she has only 5 years. The emotional life of the two has long existed in name only, and she is lonely and sad. In the zoo, he found his love, an African gorilla. Is this also due to the harmony between man and nature.
The sixth disciple, "The Gospel of Willie", a little boy named Willie, had only 54 days to live, and after a week of life left, he asked his parents to let him be a girl again. He put on a red shirt and smiled every day. His theme movement is "The Sea" by Charles Denet. With the 6 disciples gathered together with the original 12 disciples, the baseball team's plan is complete, but the shadow of death still hangs over the sky of mankind. "God" was finally taken by the Uzbek police on the return plane during his embarrassed journey to find Yiya. What will be the fate of mankind?
Accompanied by the beautiful "The Sea", the disciples followed Yiya to the seashore and quietly waited for the moment of "apocalypse". The little boy Willie can only wait to die. And Yiya's mother in the house finally cleaned up diligently. She walked into the dark room, turned on the computer, and flew her fingers casually, causing the plane to fall like a bird in the sky, and the "God" panicked. Fortunately, the "Goddess" restarted the program and turned the tide, and human beings have since moved towards a new life and a permanent safety.
With the help of her mother, Yiya's mission was finally accomplished. The colorful flying in the air confirms that human beings will continue to live a colorful life. Even JC, the boss of Jesus, laughed, and the once omnipotent "God" could only accept labor reform in a washing machine factory in Uzbekistan. The ending of such a funny cola, although it is inevitably nonsensical and hasty, is enough to shake the fragile nerve of human hatred for each other.
There are many metaphors in the film. A rich woman would rather fall in love with a gorilla than live with her self-righteous kind. Love has no distinction between high and low. The shooting maniac fell in love with the incomplete beauty, the wonderful love sawed off the sharp teeth of hatred, and actually found the fountain of love. The lonely man travels around with birds as his companions, which just shows that man and the creatures on the earth can sing harmony together. The erotic man breaks free from the shackles of lust, and finally embraces the "beautiful god" he longs for, and it is also the return of love. The saddest little boy thought he had reached the end of his life, but awakened his inner pure consciousness. This is the rising sun of a new life... All these, 6 seemingly unreliable and unreliable disciples have appeared. The individual psychological desires of human beings constitute the ultimate goal of returning to the soul and ontology of human beings themselves. Everyone has something to live for, and they all have hope. Isn't this also very hilarious.
"God" is of course self-righteous, and of course has no one, and is used to doing whatever he wants. It's just a reminder again and again that people who think they are smart should really check and think about their behavior. Whether the terrorist attacks launched in the name of violence, or in the name of religion, can really solve the problems they want to solve, whether they can put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha, sit down and have a good talk, instead of fighting endlessly, especially is the ultimate killing of innocent civilians. With the development of human civilization to this day, if wars, terrorist attacks and massacres cannot solve human problems, should human beings change their thinking and perspective and use more rationality and wisdom to solve each other's problems? Everything has a limit, and "revenge" is no exception. Just like Yija's moderate "revenge", it is because of the ideal of saving mankind, not personal grudges. Undoubtedly, the concepts of salvation, fraternity, and peace expounded in the Super New Testament are the fundamental direction of human development.
