Oh My Dear Mother Earth

Mother, the source of all things, the foundation of all things. Mother is tolerance, love, and gift. The biggest motif of this movie naturally refers to Mother Earth. The director cites the bible to praise the mother, reminding humans that we are just visitors to the earth, and even unwelcome parasites. The whole story is a symbolic metaphor. Beginning with the appearance of the strange couple representing Adam and Eve, mankind gradually began their endless requests, but showed no respect and gratitude to the heroine (the earth). They disregarded the hostess's (earth) warnings on the house and wanted to destroy the house, which finally caused the water pipe to burst (Noah & Flood?), in exchange for a ten-month clean-up period: the hostess was pregnant, the male host created, and the homeland was harmonious. . It's a pity that good times don't last long, and humans forget them. Seeing that the house was repaired and the child was about to give birth, mankind entered the second collective madness. The movie takes us all the way from trembling to stunned to unbearable to look straight. The episode where the heroine is beaten by the crowd is obviously the best display and silent accusation against this world. The heroine finally couldn't bear it, and chose a fire to die with everyone. At the end, she sacrificed her "heart", which is the kind of crystal that the male protagonist regarded as a treasure at the beginning of the story, or the "relic" of the female protagonist (earth) in Buddhist terms. The Adam and his wife accidentally smashed the previous crystal in the study. It was for original sin and opened a new history of mankind's fall. They were expelled from the "study." How many times has the earth been reborn so far? At the end we saw a new wife waking up in the new bed, suggesting that this cycle is not over yet. As for other people who talk about gender relations, religion, and refugee flows, all of them are based on the natural divergence based on this essential foundation. They use the formula of "XX abuses me thousands of times, and I treat XX like first love", using the Buddhist theory. The law is "one sand, one world." As long as nature and even the universe follow or reincarnate in the same way, the sins are always the same from individuals to groups to the entire human race. Yin and Yang harmony? I can only restart and return to the short-lived beauty of "not as good as the first sight". It's time to awaken, Minna. I saw the director himself for the first time in the Q&A session. The college dress with a suit jacket and a long scarf seemed to be mixed with the temperament of the East Coast haha. Give the audience that’s new, that’s new, that’s s interesting full affirmation (negation). He confessed that the original intention of the film was to talk about mother earth. Trump had not yet come to the stage when he was writing, and he had been so worried about the chaotic world that he wrote the first draft in five days of anxiety and anger, and then he gave it to him. From the producer's point of view, the producer said it was difficult to raise money for this concept, and thanked Paramount for his support. I really want to know what they did picth, an environmentally friendly film wrapped in a horror and suspenseful shell... But think about the metaphysical director’s growing stronger and stronger, from the treasured fountain to the son of mankind to Noah’s Ark. He himself expressed his right Religion has no special attachments and interests, but there is a pure desire to interpret the stories in the Bible. The film is very experimental, and word-of-mouth is bound to be mixed. I personally appreciate this attitude based on profound philosophical thinking but using as popular entertainment as possible to convey it to the public. Regardless of the success or failure of the box office word-of-mouth, this film is a brave attempt with a high degree of completion. I wonder if the director will pick the Bible next time. Which part of the story continues?
