Five minutes in heaven, I personally feel that Nesbit's acting is even better. After all, he was a murderer whose entire childhood and family were completely overturned. The engaged audience followed Nesbit's mood all the time, even suffocating for a while.
Before the soul is redeemed, the emotion of the victim is naturally eternal hatred. The perpetrator played by Liam Neeson has lived in pain all his life because he still has a conscience. Only when the victim says "We are finished" can the burden on his conscience be lifted.
As the director said in the interview, this scene can be set up in Lebanon, Palestine, Bosnia and many other regions where bloody conflicts have arisen due to religion and politics.
As a Chinese, I would naturally envision a similar scenario happening in China. Although it does not involve ethnic or religious issues, in recent years our country has experienced endless extreme events. For example, the 723 train accident and many public incidents, people have their own opinions on who is the murderer. However, these murderers feel at ease, and they don't seem to see any signs of possible guilt for the rest of their lives.
If the murderer has no conscience, then a movie like this loses its most basic foundation. In the eyes of an artist, all people have a conscience. But in our celestial dynasty, is this really the case? Chinese people do not have their own beliefs, is it really an important reason for lack of conscience?
