It's a paradise that doesn't exist, but it's truly aspirational.

Heaven is like this.
There are no taboos in falling in love - police and prisoners meet in prison. The police began to make a careful plan to help their sweetheart.
Trust - trust each other with the people you love. The younger brother trusted and helped the police elder brother. The elder brother believed that the female prisoner that the younger brother said was a good person and was his favorite teacher before.
Righteous hate can be enforced - female teacher ends up shooting the boss behind the drug deal.
Great family love - the policeman's father was also a policeman before. He rushed to give money to his son. He did not interfere with everything his son did for love, and only silently helped him and let him pursue his own life.
True friends - no reprimands, only unconditional trust support. The female prisoner's friend took them into hiding.
These people are positive, they are not swayed by the external order, they live and die for love.

This is an abstract movie. A young police officer falls in love with his older female prisoner, walks in a foreign town after a successful escape from prison, and finally runs to the helicopter that just stopped unguarded when he is besieged by the police at a friend's house. The plane ascends to the sky.
Total love and pure freedom...
it's a paradise that doesn't exist, but it's deeply desirable.
The order of reality is portrayed as an absurd, utterly darkness-controlled blob.
Kill the bad guys who control the real world, escape, and fly to the sky with your loved ones...

This pair of specious surreal lovers both shaved their heads in an exotic town, wearing a white T-shirt, blue and black jeans, very cool. Blanchett shaves his head for the filming, just like Wang Ji's "Pink".

Another: watching the movie directly when you don't know anything about the background of the movie is happy, but when you know that "Paradise" has something to do with the famous Kieslowski posthumous work, it feels boring. No expectations is the best way to watch a movie.

    Not as good as "Love Prison", although the performance is very good

    At the end of Krzysztof Kie lowski's work, the plane slowly rises into the sky until the submerged long shot highlights the tranquility and ethereal meaning of the whole film, which means the deep meaning of heaven. It's a pity that love came too hastily. 4 stars minus
