Lazaro fell to the ground under the beatings of the crowd. When he was about to die, the wolf suddenly appeared in front of him. With the direction of his dying eyes, the wolf went against the traffic in the city and against the modern times. The crowd ran towards the mountains.
In the process of film development, some common motifs have been formed, just as literature has its own common motifs. Religion is a major theme that movies are happy to express. "Lazaro of Happiness" is a religious movie, and its religious nature is so strong that it seems to be preaching. It is simply a modern take on "Bible Story". However, because of the legendary nature of the story and the charisma of the main characters, even if it is only regarded as a popular movie, as a real story, it will not be boring.
Lazzaro is actually a modern Jesus. The film was labelled as a fantasy film, which at first felt a little strange because the story was amazing but believable to be true. But when you think about it, it's truly surreal. Those poor people are still regarded as serfs in modern society, living in the misery of the feudal era. But Lazaro didn't die after he fell off the cliff, and the wolf didn't eat his body when he found him. After Lazaro was resurrected, he met his relatives decades later, and everyone else was old, but he was young as before. When Luo died, the wolf appeared by his side again. All these kinds of plots are unreasonable and contrary to nature. So it's really a fantasy movie. All that is surreal, supernatural, and superhuman in Lazaro is precisely because the author has made him a Christ in a modern city. Therefore, he is immortal and immortal, so he repays his kindness and resentment, and he exudes the goodness and truth of divinity. When the church refuses them to enter, even the music will fail in the church, and follow him all the way.
Lazzaro is Christ. Christ came down to save mankind, but what is the outcome of Christ who is absolutely perfect in personality in contemporary society? Used by everyone, and eventually died on the street. This ending is the author's point of view: modern society and modern people are really hopeless. So in the end the wolf appeared, followed Lazaro's dying eyes, and went upstream in the traffic of the city. Where did it go? The country society that can't go back, the country society that is ugly in the first place.
That is to say, modern people do not need Jesus, and Jesus is invalid for modern people.
The director of this film will co-direct the second season of "My Gifted Girlfriend", and I am looking forward to it.
